This study presents the first results from the analysis of water mites collected in Portugal as part of the Biodiversity Genomics Europe project. 307 COI DNA barcodes clustered into 75 BINs are provided, with 38 BINs being unique and deposited for the first time in the Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD). 65 species have been identified, of which 36 are new to the water mite fauna of Portugal. Two species, Pešić, and Pešić, (Torrenticolidae), are described as new to science. 47% of the water mite species currently known from Portugal now have reference barcodes in BOLD. High intraspecific distances were recorded for some species, suggesting the presence of cryptic diversity and species complexes that needs further study. Our results improve the DNA barcode reference database for Portuguese water mites, enhancing species identification accuracy and stimulating future investigation.
本研究展示了作为欧洲生物多样性基因组计划一部分在葡萄牙采集的水螨分析的首批结果。提供了聚类成75个BINs的307个细胞色素氧化酶亚基I(COI)DNA条形码,其中38个BINs是独特的,并首次存入生命条形码数据系统(BOLD)。已鉴定出65个物种,其中36个对葡萄牙水螨动物区系来说是新物种。两种水螨,即佩希奇水螨和佩希奇水螨(溪螨科),被描述为科学上新发现的物种。目前已知的葡萄牙水螨物种中有47%现在在BOLD中有参考条形码。一些物种记录到了较高的种内距离,这表明存在需要进一步研究的隐性多样性和物种复合体。我们的结果改进了葡萄牙水螨的DNA条形码参考数据库,提高了物种鉴定的准确性,并促进了未来的调查研究。
