Next-Generation Museomics Disentangles One of the Largest Primate Radiations
TLDR
Having produced the largest mitochondrial DNA data set from museum specimens, this work documents how NGS technologies can “unlock” museum collections, thereby helping to unravel the tree-of-life.

First Large-Scale DNA Barcoding Assessment of Reptiles in the Biodiversity Hotspot of Madagascar, Based on Newly Designed COI Primers
TLDR
The first comprehensive study targeting the entire reptile fauna of the fourth-largest island in the world, the biodiversity hotspot of Madagascar, and the established library of reference DNA barcodes will facilitate the molecular identification of Madagascan reptiles is presented.

DNA barcoding Madagascar's amphibian fauna
We provide a DNA barcoding survey of Malagasy amphibians, including 251 of the 292 nominal species known to date, by complementing previous data with 280 newly determined barcoding sequence fragments…

Genetic and Morphological Divergences in the Cosmopolitan Deep-Sea Amphipod Eurythenes gryllus Reveal a Diverse Abyss and a Bipolar Species
TLDR
The results indicate that, despite the more uniform environment of the abyss and its presumed lack of obvious isolating barriers, abyssal populations might be more likely to show population differentiation and undergo speciation events than previously assumed.

Ancient DNA suggests modern wolves trace their origin to a Late Pleistocene expansion from Beringia
TLDR
This study provides direct ancient genetic evidence that long-range migration has played an important role in the population history of a large carnivore and provides an insight into how wolves survived the wave of megafaunal extinctions at the end of the last glaciation.

Identification of forensically important Sarcophaga species (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) using the mitochondrial COI gene
TLDR
There was a low interspecific sequence divergence in six species groups so that for 16 out of the 99 species, the use of COI barcodes as species identifier should be done with care, and it is illustrated how such reference databases can improve local reference databases for forensic entomologists.

DNA barcoding amphibians and reptiles.
TLDR
There is no single pair of COI primers that will guarantee a sufficient rate of success across all amphibian and reptile taxa, or within major subclades of amphibians and reptiles, which means that the PCR amplification strategy needs to be adjusted depending on the specific research question.

Exploring Species Level Taxonomy and Species Delimitation Methods in the Facultatively Self-Fertilizing Land Snail Genus Rumina (Gastropoda: Pulmonata)
TLDR
A phylogenetic analysis of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequences in Rumina suggested at least seven species, one corresponding to R. saharica and six that are currently grouped under the name R. decollata, while the species-level status of R. paivae is rejected.
