DNA barcoding reveals diversity of Hymenoptera and the dominance of parasitoids in a sub-arctic environment

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Insect diversity typically declines with increasing latitude, but previous studies have shown conflicting latitude-richness gradients for some hymenopteran parasitoids. However, historical estimates of insect diversity and species ri...
