Commentary on "Preliminary Species Hypotheses" in Entomological Taxonomy: A Global Data and FAIR Infrastructure Perspective by Sharif Islam

“…In response to the need for rapid, scalable biodiversity monitoring, Buckley introduces preliminary species hypotheses (PSH) as a bridge between quick identification tools and the rigorous Linnaean system, leveraging DNA barcoding and AI-assisted image recognition to produce provisional classifications that can later be validated. …”

Integrating taxonomic, genetic and ecological data to explore the species richness of wild bees (Hymenoptera, Apoidea, Anthophila) of the Culuccia Peninsula (NE Sardinia, Italy) by Matteo Annessi, Alessandra Riccieri, Marilena Marconi, Sabrina Rossi, Andrea Di Giulio

“…The aim of this work was to provide the first checklist of Apoidea Anthophila from an unexplored peninsula in north-eastern Sardinia (Italy), by combining traditional (morphologically-based) taxonomy and DNA barcoding. In addition, records of flower visits are provided and shown in a visitor network to enrich the scarce data on the associations between wild bees and plants in the Mediterranean Region. …”

Complete chloroplast genomes of 13 species of the Impatiens genus for genomic features and phylogenetic relationships studies by Qinqin Yong, Meijun Li, Zhi Li, Chao Luo, Jinling Zhang, Xinxiang Bai

“…Five mutation hotspots were detected: rps16-trnQ-UUG, ndhF, ccsA-ndhD, ycf1, and trnN-GUU, among which ycf1 had the highest Pi value and the greatest potential as a DNA barcode marker. Our phylogenetic tree shows that all 13 species belong to Section Impatiens. …”
