DNA Barcoding of Mosquitoes from the Pantanos de Centla Biosphere Reserve, Southeastern Mexico 2021 Accurate identification of mosquito species is essential to support programs that involve the study of distribution and mosquito control. Numerous mosquito species are difficult to identify based only on morphological characteristics, due to the morphological similarities in different life stages and large numbers of some species that are members of morphologically similar species complexes. In the present study, the mosquitoes collected in the Pantanos de Centla Biosphere Reserve, southeastern Mexico, were evaluated using a combination of morphological and molecular approaches (mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I [COI] DNA barcode). A total of 1,576 specimens of 10 genera and 35 species, mostly adult stages, were collected. A total of 225 COI DNA barcode sequences were analyzed; most species formed well-supported groups in the neighbor joining, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian inference trees. The intraspecific Kimura 2-parameter (K2P) genetic distance averaged 1.52%. An intraspecific K2P distance of 6.20% was observed in Anopheles crucians s.l., while a deep split was identified in Culex erraticus and Cx. conspirator. This study showed that COI DNA barcodes offer a reliable approach to support mosquito species identification in Mexico. info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 1.0 2021 ENTOMOLOGY 74 / 100 = 0.74 2021 Q3 T3 0.379 2021 Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics 2021 Q3 Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health 2021 Q3 Insect Science 2021 Q3 1.5 2021 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Hernández-Triana, Luis M.
