• Disentangling the identity of Lebertia porosa Thor, 1900 using integrative taxonomy (Acari: Hydrachnidia) 

      Tyukosova, Valentina; Gerecke, Reinhard; Stur, Elisabeth; Ekrem, Torbjørn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Initial analyses of DNA barcode data from Norwegian populations attributed to the water mite Lebertia porosa Thor, 1900 revealed large genetic divergence and potentially cryptic species level diversity. We used one ...
    • The Future of DNA Barcoding: Reflections from Early Career Researchers 

      Grant, Danielle M.; Brodnicke, Ole Bjørn; Evankow, Ann; Ferreira, André O.; Fontes, João T.; Hansen, Aslak Kappel; Jensen, Mads Reinholdt; Kalaycı, Tuğba Ergül; Leeper, Alexandra Eve Joyce; Patil, Shalaka Kiran; Prati, Sebastian; Reunamo, Anna; Roberts, Aradhana J; Shigdel, Rajesh; Tyukosova, Valentina; Bendiksby, Mika; Blaalid, Rakel; Costa, Filipe O.; Hollingsworth, Peter M.; Stur, Elisabeth; Ekrem, Torbjørn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Over the last two decades, the use of DNA barcodes has transformed our ability to identify and assess life on our planet. Both strengths and weaknesses of the method have been exemplified through thousands of peer-reviewed ...
    • Integrative taxonomy and species delimitation of water mites: the case of the Lebertia porosa (Acari, Parasitengona, Hydrachnidia) species complex 

      Tyukosova, Valentina (Master thesis, 2021)
      Water mites form a highly diverse taxon of Acari unified by adaptations to aquatic life. Despite a high number of already described species, more than half as many remain unknown to science. Their ecology makes them good ...
