Sequence-based species delimitation for the DNA taxonomy of undescribed insects.
- J. Pons, T. Barraclough, +6 authors A. Vogler
- Biology, Medicine
- Systematic biology
- 1 August 2006
Cataloging the very large number of undescribed species of insects could be greatly accelerated by automated DNA based approaches, but procedures for large-scale species discovery from sequence data… Expand
Beyond barcodes: complex DNA taxonomy of a South Pacific Island radiation
- M. T. Monaghan, M. Balke, J. Pons, A. Vogler
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological…
- 7 April 2006
DNA barcodes can provide rapid species identification and aid species inventories in taxonomically unstudied groups. However, the approach may fail in recently diverged groups with complex gene… Expand
Infrequent and unidirectional colonization of hyperdiverse Papuadytes diving beetles in New Caledonia and New Guinea.
- M. Balke, J. Pons, I. Ribera, K. Sagata, A. Vogler
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular phylogenetics and evolution
- 1 February 2007
We present a molecular phylogenetic analysis of 2808 aligned bp of rrnL, cox1, cob, H3 and 18S rRNA of all major morphological groups of Papuadytes diving beetles (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) which are… Expand
The towering orogeny of New Guinea as a trigger for arthropod megadiversity.
- Emmanuel F A Toussaint, R. Hall, +6 authors M. Balke
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature communications
- 29 May 2014
Early studies on Melanesian mountain systems provided insights for fundamental evolutionary and ecological concepts. These island-like systems are thought to provide opportunities in the form of… Expand
Localization of tandemly repeated DNA sequences in beetle chromosomes by fluorescentin situ hybridization
- C. Juan, J. Pons, E. Petitpierre
- Biology, Medicine
- Chromosome Research
- 1 September 1993
In situ hybridization to chromosomes and nuclei ofTenebrio molitor shows the massive presence of a species-specific satellite DNA in all chromosomes and six sites of rDNA in mitotic chromosomes.… Expand
Complex pattern of coalescence and fast evolution of a mitochondrial rRNA pseudogene in a recent radiation of tiger beetles.
Transposed copies of mitochondrial DNA into the nucleus (numts) are widespread, but to date they have not been described from the Coleoptera (beetles). Here we report the discovery of a numt derived… Expand
The complete mitochondrial genome of the subterranean crustacean Metacrangonyx longipes (Amphipoda): A unique gene order and extremely short control region
- Maria M. Bauzà-Ribot, D. Jaume, C. Juan, J. Pons
- Medicine, Biology
- Mitochondrial DNA
- 1 January 2009
Metazoan mitochondrial genomes usually consist of the same gene set, but some taxonomic groups show a considerable variety in gene order and nucleotide composition. The mitochondrial genomes of 37… Expand
Deep mtDNA subdivision within Linnean species in an endemic radiation of tiger beetles from New Zealand (genus Neocicindela).
- J. Pons, Tomochika Fujisawa, E. Claridge, R. Savill, T. Barraclough, A. Vogler
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular phylogenetics and evolution
- 1 May 2011
The invertebrate fauna of New Zealand is of great interest as a geologically tractable model for the study of species diversification, but direct comparisons with closely related lineages elsewhere… Expand
Mitochondrial Cox1 Sequence Data Reliably Uncover Patterns of Insect Diversity But Suffer from High Lineage-Idiosyncratic Error Rates
- L. Hendrich, J. Pons, I. Ribera, M. Balke
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 28 December 2010
Background The demand for scientific biodiversity data is increasing, but taxonomic expertise is often limited or not available. DNA sequencing is a potential remedy to overcome this taxonomic… Expand
Mitogenomic Phylogenetic Analysis Supports Continental-Scale Vicariance in Subterranean Thalassoid Crustaceans

- Biology, Medicine
- Current Biology
- 6 November 2012
Many continental subterranean water crustaceans ("stygobionts") display extreme disjunct distributions, where different species in the same genus are isolated on continents or islands separated by… Expand
