Abstract Light represents one of the most reliable environmental cues in the biological world. In this review we focus on the evolutionary consequences to changes in organismal photic environments, with a specific focus on the class Insecta. Particular emphasis is placed on transitional forms that can be used to track the evolution from (1) diurnal to nocturnal (dim-light) or (2) surface to subterranean (aphotic) environments, as well as (3) the ecological encroachment of anthropomorphic light on nocturnal habitats (artificial light at night). We explore the influence of the light environment in an integrated manner, highlighting the connections between phenotypic adaptations (behaviour, morphology, neurology and endocrinology), molecular genetics and their combined influence on organismal fitness.

  • Mitochondrial Cox1 Sequence Data Reliably Uncover Patterns of Insect Diversity but Suffer from High Lineage- Idiosyncratic Error Rates
    Mitochondrial Cox1 Sequence Data Reliably Uncover Patterns of Insect Diversity But Suffer from High Lineage- Idiosyncratic Error Rates Lars Hendrich1,2, Joan Pons3., Ignacio Ribera4, Michael Balke1,2*. 1 Department of Entomology, Zoological State Collection, Munich, Germany, 2 GeoBioCenter, Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich, Germany, 3 Departament de Biodiversitat i Conservacio´, Institut Mediterrani d’Estudis Avanc¸ats, Esporles, Spain, 4 Institute of Evolutionary Biology, Barcelona, Spain Abstract Background: The demand for scientific biodiversity data is increasing, but taxonomic expertise is often limited or not available. DNA sequencing is a potential remedy to overcome this taxonomic impediment. Mitochondrial DNA is most commonly used, e.g., for species identification (‘‘DNA barcoding’’). Here, we present the first study in arthropods based on a near-complete species sampling of a family-level taxon from the entire Australian region. We aimed to assess how reliably mtDNA data can capture species diversity when many sister species pairs are included. Then, we contrasted phylogenetic subsampling with the hitherto more commonly applied geographical subsampling, where sister species are not necessarily captured. Methodology/Principal Findings: We sequenced 800 bp cox1 for 1,439 individuals including 260 Australian species (78% species coverage). We used clustering with thresholds of 1 to 10% and general mixed Yule Coalescent (GMYC) analysis for the estimation of species richness. The performance metrics used were taxonomic accuracy and agreement between the morphological and molecular species richness estimation. Clustering (at the 3% level) and GMYC reliably estimated species diversity for single or multiple geographic regions, with an error for larger clades of lower than 10%, thus outperforming parataxonomy.

  • The Towering Orogeny of New Guinea As a Trigger for Arthropod Megadiversity
    ARTICLE Received 7 Nov 2013 | Accepted 29 Apr 2014 | Published 29 May 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms5001 The towering orogeny of New Guinea as a trigger for arthropod megadiversity Emmanuel F.A. Toussaint1, Robert Hall2, Michael T. Monaghan3, Katayo Sagata4, Sentiko Ibalim5, Helena V. Shaverdo6, Alfried P. Vogler7,8, Joan Pons9 & Michael Balke1,10 Early studies on Melanesian mountain systems provided insights for fundamental evolutionary and ecological concepts. These island-like systems are thought to provide opportunities in the form of newly formed, competition-free niches. Here we show that a hyperdiverse radiation of freshwater arthropods originated in the emerging central New Guinea orogen, out of Australia, about 10 million years ago. Further diversification was mainly allopatric, with repeated more recent colonization of lowlands as they emerged in the form of colliding oceanic island arcs, continental fragments and the Papuan Peninsula, as well as recolonization of the central orogen. We unveil a constant and ongoing process of lineage accumulation while the carrying capacity of the island is about to be reached, suggesting that lineage diversification speed now exceeds that of landmass/new ecological opportunity formation. Therefore, the central orogeny of New Guinea acts as a motor of diversification for the entire region. 1 Zoologische Staatssammlung Mu¨nchen, Mu¨nchhausenstrae 21, D-81247 Munich, Germany. 2 Southeast Asia Research Group, Royal Holloway University of London, Egham, Surrey TW20 0EX, UK. 3 Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB), Mu¨ggelseedamm 301, 12587 Berlin, Germany. 4 Papua New Guinea Institute for Biological Research, 441 Goroka, Papua New Guinea. 5 New Guinea Binatung Research Centre, 511 Madang, Papua New Guinea.

  • Integrative Taxonomy on the Fast Track
    Riedel et al. Frontiers in Zoology 2013, 10:15 http://www.frontiersinzoology.com/content/10/1/15 DEBATE Open Access Integrative taxonomy on the fast track - towards more sustainability in biodiversity research Alexander Riedel1*, Katayo Sagata2, Yayuk R Suhardjono3, Rene Tänzler4 and Michael Balke4,5 Abstract Background: A so called “taxonomic impediment” has been recognized as a major obstacle to biodiversity research for the past two decades. Numerous remedies were then proposed. However, neither significant progress in terms of formal species descriptions, nor a minimum standard for descriptions have been achieved so far. Here, we analyze the problems of traditional taxonomy which often produces keys and descriptions of limited practical value. We suggest that phylogenetics and phenetics had a subtle and so far unnoticed effect on taxonomy leading to inflated species descriptions. Discussion: The term “turbo-taxonomy” was recently coined for an approach combining cox1 sequences, concise morphological descriptions by an expert taxonomist, and high-resolution digital imaging to streamline the formal description of larger numbers of new species. We propose a further development of this approach which, together with open access web-publication and automated pushing of content from journal into a wiki, may create the most efficient and sustainable way to conduct taxonomy in the future. On demand, highly concise descriptions can be gradually updated or modified in the fully versioned wiki-framework we use. This means that the visibility of additional data is not compromised, while the original species description -the first version- remains preserved in the wiki, and of course in the journal version. A DNA sequence database with an identification engine replaces an identification key, helps to avoid synonyms and has the potential to detect grossly incorrect generic placements.
