This is thanks 13 in part to the microbial diversity that they contain in their gut compartments. However, millipedes 14 and their gut microbiota are understudied, compared to other arthropods. For this reason, we 15 partook in a metagenomic analysis of the gut of Anadenobolus monilicornis. We collected 16 specimens of A. monilicornis, which were starved for a varying amount of time, from different 17 municipalities of Puerto Rico. Once the DNA from their guts was extracted and sequenced using 18 the MinION nanopore sequencer, we proceeded to analyze and compile the data obtained from the 19 sequencer using programs such as Phylosift and MEGAN6 and the web-based MG-RAST. From 20 our two best samples, we obtained a total of 87,110 and 99,749 reads, respectively. After 21 comparing the data analyses and gene annotation done for both samples, we found that the bacterial bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/560755; this version posted February 26, 2019.

Sampled eukaryote 24 phyla include Arthropoda, Chordata and Streptophyta. We would need a greater sample size to 25 better determine differences in microbial diversity between millipede populations across the 26 island; considering our small sample size, however, we were able to broadly reveal the diversity 27 within the microenvironment of A. monilicornis’s gut. 28 29 Introduction 30 Millipedes are a group of arthropods belonging to the class Diplopoda and the subphylum 31 Myriapoda. With around 12,000 described species worldwide, they are a diverse group found in a 32 variety of habitats from humid rainforests to xeric deserts [1–3]. Millipedes are one of many soil- 33 inhabiting decomposers, alongside other macroinvertebrates such as earthworms and isopods [4– 34 6]. They are considered in some ecosystems as one of the more important components of terrestrial 35 litter decomposition and nutrient cycling [4–6]. However, they are an understudied arthropod 36 group and have received little attention to elucidate their interactions with their gut microbial 37 community, despite their significance in nutrient cycling at the soil leaf litter interface [7,8]. 38 In comparison, the microbial composition of the gut of leaf litter macroinvertebrates has 39 received some attention from the scientific community. Termites, for example, are known to 40 harbor diverse clades of bacteria from the phyla Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes and Spirochaetes in 41 their guts, depending on the diet and gut compartments studied [9]. The guts of terrestrial isopods, 42 which also have a similar ecological role to millipedes, are well represented by Proteobacteria 43 [10]. In a similar fashion, millipedes have been shown to host certain microorganisms in their guts bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/560755; this version posted February 26, 2019.

Dilution plating techniques have shown that some millipede 45 species harbor an abundant diversity of proteobacteria and actinobacteria [12]. 46 There have been a small number of microbial community surveys of the gut of millipedes. 47 In some species, the most dominant bacteria were found to belong to the Enterobacteriaceae 48 family; in addition, ascomycetes were the most common yeast strains found [13]. A desert- 49 dwelling millipede species possesses gut bacteria that can degrade cellulose, contributing to 50 nutrient cycling in deserts [1]. As well, certain species from the millipede orders Julida, 51 Spirobolida, and Spirostreptida harbor an association between methanogenic archaea and ciliate 52 protozoa in their hindguts, contributing to methane production [14]. The diversity of bacteria and 53 other microorganisms that occur in millipede guts might be of interest to field ecologists and 54 microbiologists alike, as the interactions between these organisms affects both soil nutrient 55 recycling and organic matter decomposition [15,16]. A full genetic or metagenomic approach to 56 these problems, however, has yet to take off. 57 For this study, we will be focusing on the microbiota that inhabits Anadenobolus 58 monilicornis’s digestive tract. A. monilicornis is a species native to the Caribbean which has also 59 been introduced to Florida (U.S.A.), where it is treated as a pest [17,18]. It is considered the most 60 common millipede in the karst zones of Puerto Rico [3]. Previous microbiota studies have been 61 morphohology based for A. monilicornis; specifically, Contreras & Cafaro [19] conducted a 62 morphometric study of the protozoa Enterobryus luteovirgatus, which forms a commensalistic 63 relationship with the millipede. Beyond this study, very little is known about this species. 64 To identify the microbial diversity inside A. monilicornis’s gut, we will utilize a shotgun 65 metagenomic analysis.

Several metagenomic sequencing 68 studies have successfully revealed complex host-symbiont relationships, such as those that occur 69 in deep-sea tube worms [22], termites [23] and Daphnia species [21]. Particularly, metagenomic 70 studies involving arthropods have focused mostly on insects [24–27], successfully revealing their 71 microbial diversity. However, there are few comprehensive metagenomics sequencing surveys of 72 the microbiota of other non-insect arthropods, millipedes included [28,29]. 73 To analyze the DNA of A. monilicornis, Oxford Nanopore Sequencing Technology (ONT) 74 will be used. This relatively new technique works by identifying the order of nucleotides in a DNA 75 sequence as it passes through individual nanopore channels. ONT has already proven useful for 76 producing relatively long DNA sequences, real-time analysis, and detection of structural sequence 77 variants [30]. Specifically, we will be using the MinION, a portable nanopore sequencer developed 78 by Oxford Nanopore Technologies. Our objective is to begin to develop protocols for shotgun 79 sequencing of millipede guts via ONT, and to develop an initial fingerprint of the microbial 80 diversity found within A. monilicornis using ONT as a tool to elucidate this complex system. 81 82 Materials and Methods 83 Millipede Sampling 84 Anadenobolus monilicornis millipedes were collected from two locations collected in July 85 2017 from western Puerto Rico: The University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez Campus, and the 86 municipality of Rincón. These were kept alive and starved for 24 hours (Mayagüez samples), and 87 ten days (Rincón samples). The millipedes were collected and kept in small glass containers with bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/560755; this version posted February 26, 2019.

The Rincón sample was kept until it began to eat the filter paper and the frass 89 showed little signs of plant material. 90 Gut and DNA extraction 91 The gut extraction and DNA extraction work were done in the Symbiosis laboratory at the 92 University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez Campus. Following workstation and lab material 93 sterilization with 10% bleach, the head and the last two or three segments of the abdomen of the 94 specimens were cut and removed with a scalpel; the abdomen was cut to facilitate gut extraction. 95 The guts were removed and placed in 2mL tissue disruption tubes, where they were liquified by 96 manually shaking the tubes. 97 We followed the Qiagen Fast DNA Tissue Kit (cat. No. 51404) protocol to purify the DNA 98 samples from the specimens. The buffer for the Qiagen Fast DNA Tissue Kit was prepared before 99 use as the protocol specified: 40 mL of ethanol were added to the AW1 and AW2 Buffer 100 concentrates, and 25mL of isopropanol were added to the Buffer MVL concentrate.

  • Oncept Was Used to Describe Birds Allowing Ants to Climb on Their Body Or the Behavior of Capturing and Rubbing the Ants Against the Plumage
    (2019) 30: 69–71 USE OF MILLIPEDES AS FOOD AND FOR SELF-ANOINTING BY THE PUERTO RICAN GRACKLE (QUISCALUS NIGER BRACHYPTERUS) Raúl A. Pérez-Rivera Department of Biology, University of Puerto Rico-Humacao, Puerto Rico. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract · Although rarely observed in nature, anting is widespread and has been reported in more than 200 species of birds. The concept was used to describe birds allowing ants to climb on their body or the behavior of capturing and rubbing the ants against the plumage. However, the nomenclature of this behavior has been broadened and now is called self-anointing, and includes the use of other animals, such as millipedes (Diplopoda), and even liquids. Here, I describe the Antillean Grackle (Quiscalus niger brachypterus) using millipedes (Trigoniulus coralinus and Anadenobolus monilicornis) for self-anointing and as food. The genus Anadenobolus is reported for self-anointing for the first time. I also observed five grackles, feeding upon the millipede Asiomorpha coarctata, after washing it in water. Possibly, grackles rub the millipedes on their plumage because their secretions may work as ectoparasite repellent or may decrease irritation during molting. The birds ingest these myriapods when food is scarce or because these may help against intestinal parasites. Resumen · Uso de milpiés como alimento y para “auto-unción” por el Mozambique de Puerto Rico (Quiscalus niger brachy- pterus) Aunque raras veces observado, el “hormigarse” ha sido reportado para más de 200 especies de aves. El concepto fue utilizado para explicar la conducta de aves que dejan que hormigas se suban sobre estas o las capturan, para restregárselas en su plu- maje.

    United States National Museum ^^*fr?*5j Bulletin 212 CHECKLIST OF THE MILLIPEDS OF NORTH AMERICA By RALPH V. CHAMBERLIN Department of Zoology University of Utah RICHARD L. HOFFMAN Department of Biology Virginia Polytechnic Institute SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION • WASHINGTON, D. C. • 1958 Publications of the United States National Museum The scientific publications of the National Museum include two series known, respectively, as Proceedings and Bulletin. The Proceedings series, begun in 1878, is intended primarily as a medium for the publication of original papers based on the collections of the National Museum, that set forth newly acquired facts in biology, anthropology, and geology, with descriptions of new forms and revisions of limited groups. Copies of each paper, in pamphlet form, are distributed as published to libraries and scientific organizations and to specialists and others interested in the different subjects. The dates at which these separate papers are published are recorded in the table of contents of each of the volumes. The series of Bulletins, the first of which was issued in 1875, contains separate publications comprising monographs of large zoological groups and other general systematic treatises (occasionally in several volumes), faunal works, reports of expeditions, catalogs of type specimens, special collections, and other material of similar nature. The majority of the volumes are octavo in size, but a quarto size has been adopted in a few in- stances. In the Bulletin series appear volumes under the heading Contribu- tions from the United States National Herbarium, in octavo form, published by the National Museum since 1902, which contain papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum.

Yellow-banded millipede, Anadenobolus monilicornis. [https://www.flickr.com/photos/94337523@N06/16142050071/#, downloaded 10 March 2016] TRAITS. The yellow-banded millipede, often called the bumblebee millipede, is bilaterally symmetrical, with a segmented body. The head is rounded, followed by an elongated cylindrical trunk (thorax and abdomen) composed of segments or rings. The first segment (collum) is wide and lacks legs. Each thoracic segment has a single pair of legs, whereas each abdominal segment has two pairs of segmented legs (diplopodous).. The most posterior unit of the body (telson) bears the anal opening and lacks legs. On each abdominal segment, there are two pairs of spiracles; which allow air to be delivered to the trachea (Hickman et al., 2003). In males, the gonopores lie directly at the base of the legs. Colour black with variable yellowish to lime-green bands, red legs and antennae (Fig.1), length approximately 45mm, with a maximum width of approximately 4.2 mm (Shelly, 2014). The cuticular exoskeleton is hard, containing protein, lipid, and chitin, as well as calcium carbonate, and is secreted by the underlying epidermis. The exoskeleton sheds at intervals (known as ecdysis). DISTRIBUTION. Anadenobolus monilicornis is native to the Greater Antilles (excepting Cuba), the Lesser Antilles, Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and Brazil (Fig. 2), but introduced/invasive in Florida (Shelly, 2014).
