The results were compared with public data available for West Papua in the Barcode of Life Data System. During two training courses in 2013 and 2015, 1,052 specimens of insects were collected at eight sites near Manokwari in northern West Papua. The DNA sequences obtained from these specimens were assigned to 311 Barcode Index Numbers (BINs) and represent species in 27 families of Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera and Coleoptera. Of those BINs, 294 (95%) were new to West Papua. -
Developing Biodiverse Green Roofs for Japan: Arthropod and Colonizer Plant Diversity on Harappa and Biotope Roofs
20182018 Green RoofsUrban and Naturalist Urban Biodiversity SpecialSpecial Issue No. Issue 1:16–38 No. 1 A. Nagase, Y. Yamada, T. Aoki, and M. Nomura URBAN NATURALIST Developing Biodiverse Green Roofs for Japan: Arthropod and Colonizer Plant Diversity on Harappa and Biotope Roofs Ayako Nagase1,*, Yoriyuki Yamada2, Tadataka Aoki2, and Masashi Nomura3 Abstract - Urban biodiversity is an important ecological goal that drives green-roof in- stallation. We studied 2 kinds of green roofs designed to optimize biodiversity benefits: the Harappa (extensive) roof and the Biotope (intensive) roof. The Harappa roof mimics vacant-lot vegetation. It is relatively inexpensive, is made from recycled materials, and features community participation in the processes of design, construction, and mainte- nance. The Biotope roof includes mainly native and host plant species for arthropods, as well as water features and stones to create a wide range of habitats. This study is the first to showcase the Harappa roof and to compare biodiversity on Harappa and Biotope roofs. Arthropod species richness was significantly greater on the Biotope roof. The Harappa roof had dynamic seasonal changes in vegetation and mainly provided habitats for grassland fauna. In contrast, the Biotope roof provided stable habitats for various arthropods. Herein, we outline a set of testable hypotheses for future comparison of these different types of green roofs aimed at supporting urban biodiversity. Introduction Rapid urban growth and associated anthropogenic environmental change have been identified as major threats to biodiversity at a global scale (Grimm et al. 2008, Güneralp and Seto 2013). Green roofs can partially compensate for the loss of green areas by replacing impervious rooftop surfaces and thus, contribute to urban biodiversity (Brenneisen 2006). -

DNA Barcoding Confirms Polyphagy in a Generalist Moth, Homona Mermerodes (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)

We evaluated the species concept for a common generalist moth occurring in New Guinea and Australia, Homona mermerodes, in light of host plant records and mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I haplotype diversity. Genetic divergence among H. mermerodes moths feeding on different host tree species was much lower than among several Homona species. Genetic divergence between haplotypes from New Guinea and Australia was also less than interspecific divergence. Whereas molecular species identification methods may reveal cryptic species in some generalist herbivores, these same methods may confirm polyphagy when identical haplotypes are reared from multiple host plant families. A lectotype for the species is designated, and a summarized bibliography and illustrations including male genitalia are provided for the first time. -
DNA Barcoding in Floral and Faunal Research
22 DNA barcoding in floral and faunal research S. E. MILLER 22.1 Introduction As I write this chapter in mid 2012, the context in which floral and faunal research is done is changing rapidly. Demand for biodiversity information, especially to under- stand global change, is increasing. The technologies that are available for carrying out biodiversity research and for disseminating the results are changing dramati- cally. The funding processes and organisational cultures of the institutions that have been the traditional homes of such research are evolving. This creates new chal- lenges and opportunities for floral and faunal research. This chapter will focus on the intersection of DNA barcoding with floral and faunal research, the opportunities that DNA barcoding offers for increasing the quality and quantity of such work, and its connectivity with related activities. I will discuss the opportunities for DNA barcoding and then provide an example from my own research. The essay focuses on plants and animals, but will include some reference to other organisms. Because of the rapid evolution of the underlying technologies, and the related social changes, this essay represents a ‘slice of time’, and I expect some of the conclusions will be out of date before it is published. While challenges remain, I believe this is an exciting time of renaissance for taxonomy (Miller, 2007). A DNA barcode is a short gene sequence taken from standardised portions of the genome, used to identify species. Being DNA based, it can be used for specimens Descriptive Taxonomy: The Foundation of Biodiversity Research, eds M. F. Watson, C. H. -

Recent studies have examined 22 tritrophic interactions among Camellia sinensis, A. honmai, and A. reticulata, but the effect of 23 non-host insects on the induction of tea plant that may affect foraging behaviour of A. 24 reticulata remains unclear. In this study, we selected two non-host insects, Homona 25 magnanima Diakonoff and Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée), as representative species in our 2 26 bioassays. Tea leaves were treated with homogenized female reproductive tissues of a non- 27 host insect for comparison with untreated leaves in a choice test.

Mitochondrial pseudogenes in insect DNA barcoding: differing points of view on the same issue. Biota Neotrop. 12(3): http://www.biotaneotropica.org.br/v12n3/en/abstract?thematic-review+bn02412032012 Abstract: Molecular tools have been used in taxonomy for the purpose of identification and classification of living organisms. Among these, a short sequence of the mitochondrial DNA, popularly known as DNA barcoding, has become very popular. However, the usefulness and dependability of DNA barcodes have been recently questioned because mitochondrial pseudogenes, non-functional copies of the mitochondrial DNA incorporated into the nuclear genome, have been found in various taxa. When these paralogous sequences are amplified together with the mitochondrial DNA, they may go unnoticed and end up being analyzed as if they were orthologous sequences. In this contribution the different points of view regarding the implications of mitochondrial pseudogenes for entomology are reviewed and discussed. A discussion of the problem from a historical and conceptual perspective is presented as well as a discussion of strategies to keep these nuclear mtDNA copies out of sequence analyzes.
