Taxonomic ambiguity around this taxon stems from its small size and reduced, often contradictory, morphological features. In this investigation, we confirm the taxonomic position of A. thumensis by presenting a four-marker molecular phylogeny for a population collected from a small spring-fed lake in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, USA. Our phylogenetic hypothesis places A. thumensis not within the genus Halamphora, but within the deep branching lineages of Amphora. We discuss this phylogenetic hypothesis in the context of the morphological and ecological diversity of the genus and evaluate the utility of putative diagnostic characters within Amphora. In light of this new evidence, the valid name Amphora thumensis (Mayer) Krieger is identified as the preferred designation for this taxon. Consequently, we transfer the morphologically similar Halamphora parathumensis to Amphora.Keywords: Halamphora thumensistaxonomyphylogenyamphoroid diatom Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Supplemental dataSupplemental data for this article can be accessed at https://doi.org/10.1080/0269249X.2023.2265380.Additional informationFundingThe authors would like to thank the Vail Valley campus of Colorado Mountain College for project funding.","PeriodicalId":11199,"journal":{"name":"Diatom Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136032463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a short DNA sequence of the rbcL gene and ‘Diat.barcode’, a reference barcode library, enables the identification of more than 90% of the environmental sequences to species level in French rivers. But the completeness of this library is much lower in other regions, such as the tropical French overseas departments. A barcode library completion method using high-throughput sequencing data combined with microscopy count data from natural samples (Rimet et al. Citation2018) was applied and tested in rivers of Martinique and Guadeloupe (West Indies), for which only 45% of the environmental sequences could be identified to species level using Diat.barcode v9. Assigning barcodes to the most abundant species in the islands by this method is illustrated with Ulnaria goulardii and two new species belonging to Nupela and Epithemia, which are also described in this paper. The more complex situation of morphologically similar species is illustrated by reference to Gomphonema designatum and G. bourbonense. Using a combination of molecular and morphological data, their conspecificity, as G. bourbonense, is demonstrated with their reference barcodes. However, when several morphologically similar species and several environmental sequences belonging to the same clade are present, it is not possible to relate the barcodes to corresponding morphological species.Applying this method enabled the Diat.barcode library (v.10) to be updated, with 84% of the environmental sequences from the West Indies now identifiable at the species level. However, many morphological species still lack barcodes. In these cases, more classical methods, such as cell isolation, Sanger sequencing and morphological observations of cultures, must be applied.","PeriodicalId":11199,"journal":{"name":"Diatom Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135717868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
