  1. Tephritid Barcoding Initiative and barcoding of agricultural pest presented by M. Virgilio Royal Museum for Central Africa, Tervuren, Belgium Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Brussels, Belgium m.virgilio@skynet.be Royal Museum for Central Africa – Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences

  2. Why DNA Barcode Fruit Flies? • large number of species • many economically relevant species • difficult identification of larvae. • need for standardized diagnostic methods Royal Museum for Central Africa – Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences

  3. The Tephritid Barcode Initiative (TBI) • CBOL obtained funding from the Sloan Foundation • to support a “Demonstrator System” • Steering Committee formed in April, 2006, in Belgium Steering Committee Members: Karen Armstrong, New Zealand Norman Barr, USA Amnon Freidberg, Israel Ho-Yeon Han, South Korea George Roderick, USA Ian White, UK TBI Chair: Bruce McPheron, Penn State TBI Coordinators: Allen Norrbom, USDA, USA Marc De Meyer, RMCA, Belgium Royal Museum for Central Africa – Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences

  4. TBI proposal: Goals Generate barcode database for 2,000 species • 5 individuals/species (10,000 specimens) • 100% of economically important (EI) species • >75% of EI congeners • 1 species per genus in subtribes containing EI species • 1 species per genus in other higher taxa • representative tephritoid families Royal Museum for Central Africa – Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences

  5. TBI proposal: Beneficial Outcomes 1) Establish a globally-available DNA database of barcodes 2) Establish a globally-available DNA repository 3) Generate a collection of identified vouchers for future systematic work Royal Museum for Central Africa – Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences

  6. Who is generating fruit fly barcodes? • Penn State University, USA: Bruce McPheron, Md. Sajedul Islam • Lincoln University, New Zealand: Karen Armstrong • Royal Museum Central Africa, BE: Marc De Meyer, Massi Virgilio • Yonsei University, Korea: Ho-Yeon Han • California Department of Agriculture, USA: Peter Kerr • Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, USA: Allen Norrbom • APHIS-PPQ Mission lab, USA: Norman Barr • University of Guelph • Biodiversity Institute of Ontario Royal Museum for Central Africa – Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences

  7. Financial support Penn State University, USA: technical support APHIS: collecting & sequencing Belgian Federal Government: sequencing, pilot study mini-barcodes California Citrus Board: general expenditure Korean Government: sequencing (Dutch Government: collecting) Various contributions through staff time and general core funding of institutions or other projects Royal Museum for Central Africa – Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences

  8. What needs to be provided in BOLD for TBI • identification of specimen by an expert taxonomist • voucher specimen • collection information (collection date and location) • other infos (GPS, elevation, photodocumentation) not mandatorybut strongly encouraged • barcode: at least 500bp with less than 1% missing data. • trace files stored in BOLD. Euleia fratria (Trypetinae)TEPH101 (from BOLD) Other COI records (e.g., Genbank submissions) are integrated into the BOLD database but kept separate.

  11. insights into DNA barcoding of tephritid fruitflies Royal Museum for Central Africa – Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences

  12. intra- and inter-specific genetic differentiation in 3 genera of tephritid fruitflies ratio inter/intra specific p-dist 12.6 6.3 6.6 20% 16% p-distances 12% between species 8% within species 4% 0% Bactrocera Ceratitis Dacus Royal Museum for Central Africa – Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences

  13. DNA barcoding of tephritid fruitflies: where it works nicely.... 44 barcodes of Bactrocera cucurbitae from 11 countries: • Bangladesh • Cambodia • China • Hawaii • India • Kenya • La Reunion • Malaysia • Philippines • Sudan • Tanzania average genetic distance within species K2p = 0.02% (S.E.= 0.01%)

  14. ... and where not: the FAR complex Ceratitis fasciventris C. anonae C. rosa average genetic distances 0.02 K2P 0.01 between species within species 0.00 ratio = 1.2

  15. other potentially “problematic” tephritid species groups and complexes: B. dorsalis complex C. cosyra complex C. capitata / C. caetrata T. occipitale / T. quadrimaculatum ... Armstrong and Ball (2005) Phil. Trans. R. Soc. B 360: 1813-1823. (B. dorsalis complex) Virgilio et al. (2008) Molecular Phylogenetic and Evolution 48: 270-280 (FAR complex, Ceratitis)

  16. Dacus: from identification issues to classification issues as expected low genetic differentiation in taxonomicallycloserspecies... D. chiwira - D. famona, p-dist.= 0.3%(subgenus Dacus) D. apostata - D. triater, p-dist.= 0.0% (subgenus Psilodacus)

  17. DACUS DIDACUS LEPTOXYDA LOPHODACUS NEODACUS PSILODACUS COI NJT-K2P ...but also discrepancies between morphological and molecular taxonomy subgeneric classification

  18. Apocynaceae Cucurbitaceae Passifloraceae unknown DNA barcoding may provide clues for an improved morphological classification host plant choice COI+16S+per Bayesian

  21. methodological problems in the barcoding of museum specimens DNA Extraction Procedures: Several pilot studies performed to assess the success of an invasive, nondestructive DNA extraction method for museum specimens. Study 1: L. Weigt and A. Driskell (Laboratory of Analytical Biology, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution) -16S and COI Study 2: N. Barr (USDA) and R. Ruiz (Penn State) -16S Study 3. M. Virgilio (Royal Museum Central Africa, BE) – 16S, COI Study 4. Md. Sajedul Islam (Penn State) - COI (ongoing study) Qiagen DNeasy kit: ok for DNA from recent dry and alcohol specimens not crushed during the extraction process.

  26. methodological problems in the barcoding of museum specimens • problem: • the quality of DNA rapidly decreases in time (shearing) • the amount of barcodes obtained from older museum specimens is not significantly affected by • the extraction method used • the use of genus- and species-specific primers • objective: • develop internal primers to improve the collection of barcodes from sheared DNA Royal Museum for Central Africa – Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences

  27. methodological problems in the barcoding of museum specimens • the BARFLY project • short term project funded by the Belgian Science Policy (BELSPO) • Joint Experimental Molecular Unit • of RMCA and RBINS (www.jemu.be) • Jeroen Van Houdt,Floris Breman • development of internal primers for the barcoding of Tephritids • collection of new barcodes from museum specimens Royal Museum for Central Africa – Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences

  35. TBI current challenges • Coordination / tracking specimens: BOLD • Older specimens: mini barcodes / internal primers • Fresh material: collecting activities • Taxon coverage: non EI genera Royal Museum for Central Africa – Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences

  36. RMCA current challenges RMCA is collecting barcodes as a “complementary activity” to the currently ongoing research lines: • phylogeny and population genetics of African Dacus • molecular taxonomy of species complexes in the genus Ceratitis • phylogeny of African and Australasian Bactrocera • population genetics and phylogeography of B. cucurbitae Marc De Meyer: marc.de.meyer@africamuseum.be Massimiliano Virgilio: m.virgilio@skynet.be contact:

  37. RMCA current challenges RMCA is opened tocollaborations with African Institutions aiming to: • identify tephritid samples through morphological and molecular characters • prepare species inventories from African countries • collect / rear tephritid fruit flies • investigate population genetics and host races evolution of tephritid species Marc De Meyer: marc.de.meyer@africamuseum.be Massimiliano Virgilio: m.virgilio@skynet.be contact:
