An ecology research led by Prof. Douglas YU and YANG Chunyan from Kunming Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences present a co-designed wet-lab and bioinformatic workflow, Biodiversity soup II, for metabarcoding bulk samples that removes both false-positive (tag jumps, chimeras, erroneous sequences) and false-negative (‘dropout’) errors. The paper was published in Methods... more |

The green peafowl (Pavo muticus) is known as the "King of Birds" and is of great significance to the cultural inheritance of East Asia and Southeast Asia. With historically wide but now scattered distributions (Figure 1), major drivers underlying its endangerment still remain unclear.
A research team led by Kunming Institute of Zoology of Chinese Academy of Sciences in collaboration wi... more |

Altigena Burton 1934 (Cyprinidae: Labeoninae) is a group of mid-to-large freshwater benthic fish. Kottelat (2017) resurrected this genus from genus Bangana based on the result of the molecular phylogeny of Yang et al. (2012) and redefined the generic diagnoses. The monophyly and validity of Altigena is supported by subsequent study.
Altigena lippa (Fowler, 1936) was well known as Labeo... more |

Flatfishes have evolved one of the most specialized and unique body plans (flat and asymmetry) among the teleosts. However, the origin and formation mechanism of the peculiar morphology of flatfishes remain unknown.
A research team formed by Chinese Academy of Sciences (Kunming Institute of Zoology, South China Sea Institute of Oceanology, and Institute of Hydrobiology), Zhejiang Ocean... more |
