Intra- and interspecific relationships in four Meliaceae genera based on the paralog-inclusive analysis of 343 nuclear genes. Numbers on branches indicate local posterior probabilities. Circles indicate sapwood (yellow) and heartwood (brown) samples. Colors and shades delimit genera and species, respectively, while gray highlights samples falling away from their clade.

On the International Day for #BiologicalDiversity, researchers have released a blueprint for a global #DNAbarcoding network, drawing on experiences from 20 countries to outline 10 recommendations for building successful national nodes.

👉 #OA research in @mbmg.pensoft.net: doi.org/10.3897/mbmg...
Countries are highlighted whose representatives of a national initiative responded to the questionnaire (yellow), attended the workshop (green) or both (yellow–green stripes). Peru and South Africa are not displayed on the map; however, representatives of their national nodes took part in the survey and the workshop, respectively.

Samples of orthopteran individuals generated in this study are bold and clades belonging to the same subfamily are highlighted in different shades of the same colour. The 3-letter codes stand for the island names: ANJ – Anjouan, MAY – Mayotte, MWA – Mohéli, GDC – Grand Comoro. Phylogenetic tree generated by the NJ method using a multiple sequence alignment.
