The Challenge of DNA Barcoding Saproxylic Beetles in Natural History Collections—Exploring the Potential of Parallel Multiplex Sequencing With Illumina MiSeq
Saproxylic beetles are important bioindicators of forest health but their enormous diversity makes their identification challenging. As an example, the French fauna of saproxylic beetles alone contains 2,663 species in 72 families. Recently, DNA barcoding was proposed as a promising tool for the ide...
