The InBIO Barcoding Initiative Database: DNA barcodes of Iberian Plecoptera 01

ABSTRACT: The use of DNA barcoding allows unprecedented advances in biodiversity assessments and monitoring schemes of freshwater ecosystems, nevertheless it requires the construction of comprehensive reference collections of DNA sequences that represent the existing biodiversity. Plecoptera are considered particularly good ecological indicators and one of the most endangered groups of insects, but very limited information on their DNA barcodes is available in public databases. Currently, less than 50% of the Iberian species are represented in BOLD. The InBIO Barcoding Initiative (IBI) Plecoptera 01 dataset contains records of 71 specimens of Plecoptera. All specimens have been morphologically identified to species level, and belong to 29 species in total. This dataset contributes to the knowledge
