Evaluating DNA Barcoding for Species Identification and Discovery in European Gracillariid Moths

Evaluating DNA Barcoding for Species Identification and Discovery in European Gracillariid Moths

Gracillariidae is the most species-rich leaf-mining moth family with over 2,000 described species worldwide. In Europe, there are 263 valid named species recognized, many of which are difficult to identify using morphology only. Here we explore the use of DNA barcodes as a tool for identification an...
