This study was enabled by grant 106106-001 “Engaging Developing Nations in iBOL” from
the International Development Research Centre in Canada and by grant HEC No. 20-1403/R&
D/09 “Sequencing DNA Barcodes of Economically Important Insect Species from Pakistan”
from the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan awarded to MA. Sequence analysis
was made possible by a grant from the Government of Canada through Genome Canada and
Ontario Genomics in support of the International Barcode of Life (iBOL) project awarded
to PDNH. This is a contribution to the Food From Thought project supported by the
Canada First Research Excellence Fund awarded to PDNH. The funders had no role in
study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of
the manuscript.
