Documenting decapod biodiversity in the Caribbean from DNA barcodes generated during field training in taxonomy
DNA barcoding is a useful tool to identify the components of mixed or bulk samples, as well as to determine individuals that lack morphologically diagnostic features. However, the…
Current GBIF occurrence data demonstrates both promise and limitations for potential red listing of spiders
Conservation assessments of hyperdiverse groups of organisms are often challenging and limited by the availability of occurrence data needed to calculate assessment metrics such a…
Accelerating the knowledge of Peruvian Chalcididae (Insecta, Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea) with integrative taxonomy
We present the first regional inventory of the fauna of Chalcididae in the Peruvian Amazon, with a nearly 6-fold increase in the number of species recorded for the country. A tota…
Description and comparison of Philippine hornbill (Bucerotidae) vocalizations
The role of vocalisation for the Philippine hornbills' ecology and speciation and their implication in understanding speciation is not well understood. We described and compared r…
A deafening silence: a lack of data and reproducibility in published bioacoustics research?
A study of 100 papers from five journals that make use of bioacoustic recordings shows that only a minority (21%) deposit any of the recordings in a repository, supplementary mate…

Insect and mite pests of pepino (Solanum muricatum Ait.) in Japan
To further increase the basic knowledge regarding the establishment of pest control for pepino (Solanum muricatum Ait.), we conducted surveys of pepino pests in Japan. Thirty-four…
DNA barcode library of megadiverse Austrian Noctuoidea (Lepidoptera) – a nearly perfect match of Linnean taxonomy
The aim of the study was to establish a nationwide barcode library for the most diverse group of Austrian Lepidoptera, the Noctuoidea, with 5 families (Erebidae, Euteliidae, Noctu…
Intertidal fishes of Mauritius with special reference to shallow tidepools
Intertidal fishes are found in large numbers and play an important role in their ecosystems, but knowledge of their ecology is still very limited in many tropical regions. Within …
Fauna of nocturnal moth species collected in a semi-natural grassland at Kanpu-zan in northern Japan
