AbstractChurchill, Manitoba, Canada is a diverse Subarctic region that has been the focus of DNA barcoding efforts and research for decades. Despite this effort, there are still taxa in this region that are underrepresented in public databases, particularly hyperdiverse insect groups. We present a collaborative large-scale DNA barcode reference library for Diptera based on molecular data and expert taxonomic identification.
