Detailed DNA barcoding of mayflies in a small European country proved how far we are from having comprehensive barcode reference libraries.

Abstract excerpt

Mayflies (Ephemeroptera) are among the crucial water and habitat quality bioindicators. However, despite their intensive long-term use in various studies, more reliable mayfly DNA barcode data have been produced in a negligible number of countries, and only ~40% of European species had been barcoded with less than 50% of families covered. Despite being carried out in a small area, our study presents the...
