Biodiversity is an important element to conserve life on earth. We can divide it into three main categories: gene diversity, species diversity and the complex ecosystem diversity. In the world there are an estimated 10 million plant and animal species, but only about 1.5 million are described. DNA barcoding is a molecular method which helps to identify species by comparing the sequences of mitochondrial or nuclear genes. Within lime hawk-moth (Mimas tiliae) species could exist four different subspecies. The aim of this thesis is to verify usability of the nuclear genes CAD and EF-1a by the DNA barcoding method and to compare these results with the analysis of mitochondrial COI gene.
