Abstract

ABSTRACT Water mites are a significant component of freshwater ecosystems. On Corsica (France) they are inhabiting mainly running waters. DNA barcodes of 84 specimens morphologically assigned to 27 water mite species were newly generated for this study. The first DNA barcoding data for six species were uploaded into the BOLD database, three of these, Protzia pycnica Gerecke, 1996, Atractides corsicus E. Angelier, 1954, A. giustinii Gerecke & Di Sabatino, 2013, are endemics for Corsica and Sardinia. Comparison with publicly available DNA barcodes from BOLD and GenBank allowed us on one side to link the Corsican clades with their sister-clades and assess which clades may represent putative species, and on the other hand to recognize several species complexes that needs additional studies. Based on the results of the molecular analysis, we propose to resurrect Sperchon meridianus Angelier, 1954, a species previously synonymized with S. setiger Thor, 1898.

科西嘉岛水螨的DNA条形码和形态学证据

摘要水螨是淡水生态系统的重要组成部分。在科西嘉岛（法国），它们主要栖息在流动的水域。本研究新生成了形态上属于27种水螨的84个样本的DNA条形码。六个物种的第一批DNA条形码数据被上传到BOLD数据库中，其中三个物种，Protzia pycnica Gerecke，1996，Atractides corsicus E.Angelier，1954，A.giustii Gerecke和Di Sabatino，2013，是科西嘉岛和撒丁岛的特有种。与BOLD和GenBank公开的DNA条形码进行比较，一方面使我们能够将科西嘉分支与其姊妹分支联系起来，并评估哪些分支可能代表假定的物种，另一方面也能识别出需要进一步研究的几个物种复合体。根据分子分析的结果，我们建议复活Sperchon meridianus Angelier，1954，一个以前与S.setiger Thor同义的物种，1898。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Acarology has a global readership and publishes original research and review papers on a wide variety of acarological subjects including: • mite and tick behavior • biochemistry • biology • control • ecology • evolution • morphology • physiology • systematics • taxonomy (single species descriptions are discouraged unless accompanied by additional new information on ecology, biology, systematics, etc.) All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor. If the English is not of a quality suitable for reviewers, the manuscript will be returned. If found suitable for further consideration, it will be submitted to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind.
