1 Biosecurity in the new millennium: DNA barcoding provides a reliable, rapid, and cost effective method of forest pest identification Shelley L. Ball & Karen F. Armstrong Centre for Advanced Bio-protection Technologies, Lincoln University, Canterbury, New Zealand. Bio-Protection is a national centre incorporating staff from Lincoln University, Massey University, AgResearch, Crop & Food Research and seven other collaborator institutes that conducts world class research and development to meet the biosecurity and pest management needs of New Zealand s plant based primary industries and natural ecosystems.

2 Exotic Pest Species rapid & reliable identification is critical

3 Limitations of Morphological Identification variation within species (polymorphism, sexual dimorphism) lack of variation between species (cryptic species) keys only for a certain gender or life stage high degree of expertise required dwindling pool of taxonomic expertise

4 Molecular Genetic Diagnostics PCR-RFLP Advantages: ease population level identification Disadvantages: coarse grained (no quantitative information) not anticipatory no longer cost/time effective

5 DNA barcoding ~ 650 base pairs mtdna (COI) Protein coding rapidly evolving

6 The Barcoding Approach 1. Create profile (reference) database 2. To identify an unknown: add unknown sequence to profile sequences create a Neighbour-joining (NJ) tree using K-2-P distances profile sequence with which unknown matches most closely (smallest genetic distance)

7 Purpose Test efficacy of DNA barcoding in identification of selected pest lepidoptera: species identification population identification?

8 Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae Lymantria & Orgyia Lymantria dispar (Gypsy Moth)

9 Testing the efficacy of COI identifications 6 species Lymantria 3 species Orgyia 1 species Perina 1 species Teia Total of 87 specimens ( unknowns ), across 11 species Included specimens from different geographic regions & populations

10 The Barcoding Approach 1. Create profile (reference) database 37 species 13 genera 4 families (Lymantriidae, Noctuidae, Notodontidae, Arctiidae).

11 Results 100% success rate (87/87) most species showed very little haplotype diversity a few species showed substantial genetic divergence between populations

16 Some limitations. how do we define species limits? can t detect hybridization for some taxa, little population-level information may not resolve sibling species

17 Conclusions 100% success rate (87/87) easy, accessible, rapid relatively inexpensive

18 Intraspecific Interspecific Sequence Divergence
