Multigene Molecular Systematics Confirm Species Status of Morphologically Conve...

Introduction: In spite of contemporary morphological taxonomy appraisals, apparent high morphological similarity raises uncertainty about the species status of certain Pagurus hermit crabs. This is exemplified between two European species, Pagurus excavatus (Herbst, 1791) and Pagurus alatus (Fabricius 1775), whose species status is still difficult to resolve using morphological criteria alone. Methodology/Princ...

Building a reference DNA barcode library for marine amphipods of Portugal

Systematic and evolutionary insights derived from mtDNA COI barcode diversity i...

Decapods are the most recognizable of all crustaceans and comprise a dominant group of benthic invertebrates of the continental shelf and slope, including many species of economic importance. Of the 17635 morphologically described Decapoda species, only 5.4% are represented by COI barcode region sequences. It therefore remains a challenge to compile regional databases that identify and analyse the extent and pa...

Application of RAPD DNA fingerprinting in taxonomic identification of amphipods...

In this study randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fingerprinting is proposed for species identification of Gammarus, based on the electrophorestic position of amplified DNA bands. Three common marine amphipods of European estuaries-G. chevreuxi, G insensibilis and G. locusta were profiled using ten RAPD primers, accompanied by a careful morphological identification. Nine of these primers produced a very d...
