  1. Character-based DNA barcoding allows for integration of geography, ecology and morphology Discovery of a cryptic species complex in dragonflies using CAOS Sandra Damm & Heike Hadrys University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover ITZ, Ecology & Evolution University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover Foundation Biodiversity Transect Analysis in Africa (BMBF)

  2. DNA barcoding • 2 million described species • Estimated number of species: 10-20 million or higher • Estimated extinction rate: 0.25% per year • DNA Barcoding: perfect tool for fast identification • of known species • Discovery of new species – Some problems • Genetic distances variable between species groups • No general threshold possible to diagnose new species

  3. Distance-based barcoding Distance-based DNA barcoding (COI) Genetic distance between the two species: 1.8% Genetic distances between species within this genus: 1.8 – 13% Anaximperator Regardingthe 3% rule No separate species Anaxparthenope

  4. CAOS barcoding Character-based barcoding Species A Species B • Definition of diagnostic characters of CO1 using CAOS (Character Attribute Organization System) (Sakar et al. 2002) • Advantage: • Character matrix could be complemented with additional markers (for Odonates ND1 is highly suitable) • and • with characters of morphology, ecology, geography or others Anaximperator Anaxparthenope

  5. CAOS barcoding Character-based barcoding DNA Morphology Anaximperator Two different species: supported by unambiguous characters of different disciplines Anaxparthenope

  6. Case study – Population genetics Population geneticanalysesin Trithemis stictica • widespread species in southern Africa • permanent water pond with vegetation

  7. Case study – Population genetics T. stictica • Three genetic distinct groups • High genetic distances • No shared haplotypes • Complete genetic isolation • (Fst-values ≥ 0.89) T. spec. nov T. spec. nov Maximum Parsimony tree of ND1 sequences of 108 analysed „T. stictica“ individuals Damm et al. (2010) Molecular Ecology

  8. Are thethreegeneticcladesalready separate species?

  9. Case study – Phylogenetic analyses ND1: 2.2% CO1: 3.3% 16S: 1.2% ITS: 1.0% ND1: 5.0% CO1: 5.7% 16S: 1.1% ITS: 1.0% • Genetic distances at the • species level • Confirmed by four different • sequence markers Bayesian analyses based on 16S, ND1, CO1 and ITS sequences Damm et al. (2010) Molecular Ecology

  22. Case study – Summary Integrative approachforspeciesdiscovery Distance-based DNA barcoding  Two new species Confirmed by High number of diagnostic characters Morphology Reproductive Isolation (directly and indirectly) Ecology Geography Damm et al. (2010) Molecular Ecology

  23. Conclusions Character-based barcoding allows • Identification of known species • Reliable discovery of new species • Comprehensive database by integrating characters of multiple disciplines • Many important information for conserving biodiversity Trithemis stictica Trithemis morrisoni Trithemis palustris Discovery of the first cryptic dragonfly complex in Odonates
