Cecidomyiidae is a hyperdiverse but inadequately studied dipteran family. The number of described Cecidomyiidae species in the world is 6600 but the true species count is still regarded as unknown. Based on DNA barcodes, the number of Cecidomyiidae species in the world is estimated to be as high as 1.8 million. In Finland, no thorough inventories of Cecidomyiidae have been conducted, and the known species count is 384. The purpose of this study was to estimate the expected number of Cecidomyiidae species occurring in Finland utilising BINs (Barcode Index Number) for preliminary species delimitation. Cecidomyiids were collected from eight sites across the country using Malaise traps in the summer of 2020. Supplementary material from 13 sites was also included to the study. The barcode fragment of the COI (cytochrome oxidase c subunit I) gene was sequenced from 9025 Cecidomyiidae specimens. Of the analysed specimens, 7838 recovered validated sequences and were assigned to 1420 BINs. Species count was estimated using model-based extrapolations from rarefaction curves of the abundance data. Whole material is estimated to contain 1.8-fold species count compared to the analysed proportion (⅓). Since further extrapolated rarefaction curve did not reach an asymptote, the estimate of the number of Cecidomyiidae species in Finland still remains largely unknown. However, Finnish Cecidomyiidae fauna evidently consist of thousands of species. The result is congruent with previous studies and points out the efficiency of DNA based methods in dark taxa research.

Resolving biology’s dark matter : species richness, spatiotemporal distribution, and community composition of a dark taxon
Hartop, Emily; Lee, Leshon; Srivathsan, Amrita; Jones, Mirkka; Peña-Aguilera, Pablo; Ovaskainen, Otso; Roslin, Tomas; Meier, Rudolf (BioMed Central, 2024)Background Zoology’s dark matter comprises hyperdiverse, poorly known taxa that are numerically dominant but largely unstudied, even in temperate regions where charismatic taxa are well understood. Dark taxa are everywhere, ... -
Improving Taxonomic Image-based Out-of-distribution Detection With DNA Barcodes
Impiö, Mikko; Raitoharju, Jenni (IEEE, 2024)Image-based species identification could help scaling biodiversity monitoring to a global scale. Many challenges still need to be solved in order to implement these systems in real-world applications. A reliable image-based ... -
Community size can affect the signals of ecological drift and niche selection on biodiversity
Siqueira, Tadeu; Saito, Victor S.; Bini, Luis M.; Melo, Adriano S.; Petsch, Danielle K.; Landeiro, Victor L.; Tolonen, Kimmo T.; Jyrkänkallio-Mikkola, Jenny; Soininen, Janne; Heino, Jani (John Wiley & Sons, 2020)Ecological drift can override the effects of deterministic niche selection on small populations and drive the assembly of some ecological communities. We tested this hypothesis with a unique dataset sampled identically in ... -
Host specificity of Selenidium pygospionis (Archigregarine Apicomplexa)
Alale, Theophilus (2019)In order to understand potential co-evolution between a parasite and its host, this study was conducted to investigate whether the apicomplexan parasite Selenidium pygospionis, specifically infects the polychaete worm, ... -
DNA barcoding reveals different cestode helminth species in northern European marine and freshwater ringed seals
Nyman, Tommi; Papadopoulou, Elena; Ylinen, Eeva; Wutke, Saskia; Michell, Craig T.; Sromek, Ludmila; Sinisalo, Tuula; Andrievskaya, Elena; Alexeev, Vyacheslav; Kunnasranta, Mervi (Elsevier Ltd., 2021)Three subspecies of the ringed seal (Pusa hispida) are found in northeastern Europe: P. h. botnica in the Baltic Sea, P. h saimensis in Lake Saimaa in Finland, and P. h. ladogensis in Lake Ladoga in Russia. We investigated ...
