Article Synopsis
- Nematodes are often underrepresented in DNA barcoding studies, which is attributed to gaps in DNA databases and their rapidly evolving mitochondrial genomes.
- A new COI reference library of 1726 terrestrial plant parasitic nematode specimens was developed during a North American ecoregion survey, resulting in a 721 bp COI region for taxonomic analysis.
- This study identified 179 haplotype groups that align with traditional morphospecies and proposed Barcode Index Numbers (BINs), with about one-third linked to known species, showing geographic distribution patterns influenced by habitat types in the U.S. and Canada.
