DNA barcodes enable higher taxonomic assignments in the Acari
Abstract Although mites (Acari) are abundant in many terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems, their diversity is poorly understood. Since most mite species can be distinguished by variation in the DNA barcode region of cytochrome c oxidase I, the Barcode Index Number (BIN) system provides a reliable s...
