Biological identifications through DNA barcodes: the case of the Crustacea
The ability of a 650 base pair section of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene to provide species-level identifications has been demonstrated for large taxonomic assemblages of animals… Expand

DNA barcoding of shared fish species from the North Atlantic and Australasia: minimal divergence for most taxa, but Zeus faber and Lepidopus caudatus each probably constitute two species
Fifteen fish species, totalling 149 specimens, were cytochrome c oxidase I sequenced— barcoded—from Northern (Atlantic and Mediterranean) and Southern (Australasian) Hemisphere waters. Thirteen… Expand

Probing marine Gammarus (Amphipoda) taxonomy with DNA barcodes
Abstract The genus Gammarus (Amphipoda) is one of the most speciose genera of Crustacea, yet much uncertainty remains concerning taxonomy and systematic relationships, particularly for brackish and… Expand

Acute marine sediment toxicity: a potential new test with the amphipod Gammarus locusta.
Although amphipod toxicity tests have been successfully used in the United States to assess coastal sediment toxicity, few tests have been developed with European species. The authors have been… Expand

DNA barcodes of fish of the Scotia Sea, Antarctica indicate priority groups for taxonomic and systematics focus
We analysed cytochrome oxidase I (COI) barcodes for 35 putative fish species collected in the Scotia Sea, and compared the resultant molecular data with field-based morphological identifications, and… Expand

Effects of Temperature and Salinity on Life History of the Marine Amphipod Gammarus locusta. Implications for Ecotoxicological Testing
The life history of Gammarus locusta was analysed in the laboratory under the following temperature and salinity combinations: 20 °C–33‰, 15 °C–20‰ and 15 °C–33‰ (reference condition). Life history… Expand
