Springtails, mites, tardigrades, nematodes and rotifers are difficult to identify using morphological features, hence DNA-based metabarcoding methods are well suited for their study. We compared taxonomy assignments of a high throughput sequencing metabarcoding approach using one ribosomal DNA (18S rDNA) and one mitochondrial DNA (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I - COI) marker with morphological reference data. Specifically, we compared metabarcoding or morphological taxonomic assignments on multiple taxonomic levels in an artificial DNA blend containing Australian invertebrates, and in seven extracts of Antarctic soils containing known micro-faunal taxa. Avoiding arbitrary application of metabarcoding analysis parameters, we calibrated those parameters with metabarcoding data from non-Antarctic soils. Metabarcoding approaches employing 18S rDNA and COI markers enabled detection of small and cryptic Antarctic invertebrates, and on low taxonomic ranks 18S data outperformed COI data in this respect. Morphological taxonomy determination did not outperform metabarcoding approaches. Our study demonstrates how barcoding markers can be tested prior to their application to specific taxonomic groups, and that taxonomy fidelity of markers needs to be validated in relation to environment, taxa, and available reference information.","PeriodicalId":446240,"journal":{"name":"DNA Barcodes","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126657232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wild living species of Manouria and Indotestudo genera have been classiied through conventional taxonomy, but not adequately discriminated by mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. Cytochrome oxidase (COI) marker has been quite successful to achieve the exact species level information. There needs of an accurate sequence based effort for the extant northeast (NE) Indian tortoises to identify them accurately and to provide locality information. To estimate the Kimura-2-Parameter (K2P) divergences and to construct the NeighbourJoining (NJ) phylogeny, we generated six partial COI sequences derived from expert-identiied tortoise specimens. Both BLASTn and Bold-IDs revealed the deinitive identity of Manouria, whereas the congeners of Indotestudo remain inconclusive by only a two-fold interspeciic divergence gap with the other named Indian tortoise species. The NJ phylogeny readily differentiated the three Indian tortoise genera with their respective conspecies but depicted a nonsynonomous group of Indotestudo congeners. This study shows that the molecular identiication of Manouria emys phayrei, Indotestudo elongata and an allopatric population of Indotestudo forstenii in NE India corresponds correctly with existing morphological key support.","PeriodicalId":446240,"journal":{"name":"DNA Barcodes","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128907568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
