Summary: This study established a DNA barcode reference library for North American butterflies and identified patterns of sequence variation that suggest the need for further taxonomic study and assessment of cryptic diversity. Most species were monophyletic, but some shared barcodes, particularly in regions affected by glacial periods.

Summary: The study shows that changes in surface water significantly alter the albedo in the Arctic-boreal region and explain up to 27% of the spatial variation in monthly albedo change from 2000 to 2019. The increase in radiative forcing due to changes in surface water extent is most pronounced in the continuous permafrost zone, contributing to a positive feedback between permafrost thaw and climate change.

Summary: Two new species, Salariopsis burcuae and Salariopsis renatorum, were discovered in the Eastern Mediterranean basin. S. burcuae is characterized by short cirri and many small black dots on the cheek, while S. renatorum has unbranched supraocular tentacles, black lateral line pores, and a short snout. The genetic distance between S. burcuae and its geographically closest relative, S. fluviatilis, is 4.1% K2P for the cytochrome-c-oxidase subunit 1 (COI) barcode region, while S. renatorum has an 8.8% K2P distance with S. burcuae in the same region.

Summary: This study is the first attempt to investigate the molecular diversity of South Caucasian freshwater molluscs and build a DNA-barcode library. The results show that the knowledge of freshwater molluscs diversity in the region is incomplete. The study also discovered new species and undescribed species, highlighting the need for further research on the South Caucasian freshwater molluscan fauna.

Summary: The forest cover in Northern Europe has been increasing over the past 120 years, resulting in more vegetation and carbon fixation. This leads to higher export of degraded plant-litter to surface waters, causing freshwater browning. The connection between freshwater browning and coastal water darkening is not well understood, but this study shows that forests in Northern Europe can influence coastal water clarity across thousands of kilometers.

Summary: The study highlights the recent anomalies in sea ice extent in the Arctic and the high interannual variability of oceanic surface freshwater flux in different regions. Monitoring key variables is crucial to understanding these changes, and freshwater fluxes through Arctic routes will have significant impacts on global climate as the polar regions become more susceptible to warming.

Summary: Species identification using DNA barcodes relies on the quality and scope of a reference library. The analysis of southern European Lepidoptera species showed both advantages and disadvantages in identifying Mediterranean species reliably. It is recommended to supplement the European Lepidoptera barcode library with unsequenced taxa from the Mediterranean.

Summary: This study utilized an integrative taxonomic approach to identify yellowtail kingfish and wild sourced fish larvae based on morphology, imaging, and DNA barcoding. Results showed that genetic species identification was successful in cultured yellowtail kingfish fixed in formalin for up to 6 months, with a 100% success rate. Furthermore, up to 8-weeks formalin fixed wild caught fish larvae achieved a species identification success rate of 93%.

Summary: This study developed a standardized monthly database of Arctic-boreal CO2 fluxes (ABCflux) that aggregates in situ measurements of terrestrial net ecosystem CO2 exchange and its derived partitioned component fluxes. The database includes 244 sites and 6309 monthly observations, providing valuable data for understanding the regional and temporal variability in CO2 fluxes.

Summary: The growing popularity of Japanese cuisine worldwide has resulted in a higher demand for freshwater eels (family Anguillidae). With the limitations on export of the endangered European eel, illegal trade has emerged. This study used DNA barcoding to identify eel species in processed eel products globally, revealing a contrast between native species and those commonly sold.
