A new surface gliding species of Chironomidae: An independent invasion of marine environments and its evolutionary implications
Qi, Xin; Lin, Xiaolong; Ekrem, Torbjørn; Beutel, Rolf Georg; Song, Chao; Orlov, Igor; Chen, Chun-Tang; Wang, Xin-hua (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Insects have invaded marine habitats only rarely and secondarily. Recently, we discovered a flightless dipteran species skating rapidly on the surface of seawater ponds at the Pacific coast of eastern China. Morphological ... -
DNA barcodes and morphology reveal unrecognized species in Chironomidae (Diptera)
Lin, Xiaolong; Stur, Elisabeth; Ekrem, Torbjørn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)For over a decade, DNA barcoding has proven an effective modern tool in taxonomy, evolutionary biology and biodiversity research. Many new species have been discovered and described with DNA barcodes as part of their ... -
DNA barcodes successfully delimit morphospecies in a superdiverse insect genus
Song, Chao; Lin, Xiaolong; Wang, Qian; Wang, Xin-hua (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Polypedilum Kieffer (Diptera: Chironomidae), with 520 currently known species worldwide, can be extremely difficult to identify species level based on the morphology. We used 3,670 cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) ... -
Exploring Genetic Divergence in a Species-Rich Insect Genus Using 2790 DNA Barcodes
Lin, Xiaolong; Stur, Elisabeth; Ekrem, Torbjørn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-09-25)DNA barcoding using a fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene (COI) has proven to be successful for species-level identification in many animal groups. However, most studies have been focused on ... -
Exploring species boundaries with multiple genetic loci using empirical data from non-biting midges
Lin, Xiaolong; Stur, Elisabeth; Ekrem, Torbjørn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Over the past decade, molecular approaches to species delimitation have seen rapid development. However, species delimitation based on a single locus, for example, DNA barcodes, can lead to inaccurate results in cases of ... -
The first comprehensive DNA barcode reference library of Chinese Tanytarsus (Diptera: Chironomidae) for environmental DNA metabarcoding
Lin, Xiaolong; Mo, Lidong; Bu, Wen-Jun; Wang, Xin-Hua (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Aim: Reliable DNA barcode reference libraries are critical for biodiversity monitoring based on Environmental DNA (eDNA). DNA barcoding has proven successful in species delimitation and association of life stages in many ... -
Molecular phylogeny and temporal diversification of Tanytarsus van der Wulp (Diptera: Chironomidae) support generic synonymies, a new classification and centre of origin
Lin, Xiaolong; Stur, Elisabeth; Ekrem, Torbjørn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Tanytarsus van der Wulp, with 355 currently known valid species, is a comparatively large genus of nonbiting midges (Diptera: Chironomidae). Relationships among Tanytarsus and associated genera and among species in the ... -
Systematics and evolutionary history of Tanytarsus van der Wulp, 1874 (Diptera: Chironomidae)
Lin, Xiaolong (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2017:201, Doctoral thesis, 2017)On the evolution and diversity of Tanytarsus non-biting midges / Evolusjon og mangfold hos fjærmygg i slekten Tanytarsus As species are the fundamental unit of biodiversity, accurate species identification and delimitation ... -
An urban Blitz with a twist: rapid biodiversity assessment using aquatic environmental DNA
Hupało, Kamil; Majaneva, Markus; Czachur, Molly Victoria; Sire, Lucas; Marquina, Daniel; Lijtmaer, Darío A.; Ivanov, Vladislav; Leidenberger, Sonja; Čiampor, Fedor; Čiamporová-Zat'ovičová, Zuzana; Mendes, Izabela S.; Desiderato, Andrea; Topstad, Lasse; Meganck, Danial Hariz Z. A.; Kjærstad, Gaute; Lin, Xiaolong; Price, Benjamin; Stevens, Mark; Ekrem, Torbjørn; Deiner, Kristy (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)As global biodiversity declines, there is an increasing need to create an educated and engaged society. Having people of all ages participate in measuring biodiversity where they live helps to create awareness. Recently, ...
