Terrestrial isopods or Oniscidea are a diverse and ecologically important taxon. Austria has a relatively high species diversity with over 60 known species. In this study, we aim to provide DNA barcode reference data for the Austrian Oniscidea and to update the species inventory, which was last reviewed nearly 50 years ago. Although the focus was on freshly collected specimens, we also successfully sequenced...
