Images (partial): Biodiversity: - Species, ecosystems, evolutionary lineages, genetic diversity, cultural diversity. - Why is it important ? - Intrinsic value - Practical (anthropocentric) value: - Ecosystem services. - Source of food, materials, substances, innovation.

The Biodiversity Crisis

Time No. of species Species known to science Presently living species Species diversity

The Biodiversity Crisis Urgent needs: - To inventory, document, map and characterize the world´s biodiversity; - To understand and monitor current threats to this biodiversity, as well as their impacts in various contexts; - To eliminate or limit the magnitude of these threats, and/or to minimize their impacts through conservation and management actions.

Applications of DNA Barcoding in Biodiversity Conservation 1.Gathering data on components of native biodiversity; 1.1. Baseline data; 1.2. Monitoring of biodiversity in impacted areas; 2.Gathering data on threats to native biotas; - e.g. invasive species, pathogens, wildlife trafficking. 3.Helping to enforce actions aimed at curbing threats to biodiversity. - e.g. wildlife forensic analyses.

Applications of DNA Barcoding in Biodiversity Conservation 1.Gathering data on components of native biodiversity 1.1. Baseline data: Thoroughly inventorying all of the Earth’s ecosystems -Discovery of new species; -Improved knowledge on geographic ranges of species. -Analysis of diverse sources/kinds of biological specimens (including environmental samples); -Close interaction with morphology-based taxonomy and reference collections; -Link to in-depth studies (e.g. phylogeographic) – DNA banks

Applications of DNA Barcoding in Biodiversity Conservation 1.Gathering data on components of native biodiversity 1.1. Baseline data: Improving knowledge on species’ ecology and life history -Identification of morphologically distinct genders and life history stages; -Diet (e.g. using fecal DNA); -Interactions with parasites, symbionts and pathogens; -Spatial and temporal patterns of species occurrence, including habitat association.

Applications of DNA Barcoding in Biodiversity Conservation 1.Gathering data on components of native biodiversity 1.2. Monitoring of biodiversity in impacted areas: (i.e. almost everywhere...) -Surveys of species occurrence in areas suffering varying degrees and kinds of disturbance: -Information on susceptibility vs. resilience of each organism; -Caution with sampling procedures. -Links to DNA barcoding efforts targeting agricultural and epidemiological (e.g. emerging diseases) aspects.

Applications of DNA Barcoding in Biodiversity Conservation 2. Gathering data on threats to native biotas: -Mapping and monitoring the spread of invasive species; -Identifying vectors and reservoirs of pathogens that threaten wildlife populations (as well as addressing potential emerging diseases for humans); -Understanding the dynamics of wildlife trafficking activities; DNA barcodes that also identify geographic provenance.

Applications of DNA Barcoding in Biodiversity Conservation 3. Helping to enforce actions aimed at curbing threats to biodiversity. - Wildlife forensic analyses: - Species-level identification (and geographic origin when possible) of confiscated materials (e.g. meat products, eggs, pelts, bones, wood, etc.); - Example: whale meat in Japanese and Korean markets (DNA surveillance initiative); - Barcoding for Species Conservation (BSC) initiative (CBoL): - Bushmeat trade in Africa, international pet trade, trade in tiger parts in China, overexploitation of sharks, etc.

Examples of ongoing and planned research fronts in Brazil - Species identification in carnivores; - Fecal DNA: ecological and biogeographic studies (large- scale assessment of current geographic ranges); - Study on rabies virus in wild canids. - Large-scale inventory of Brazilian biodiversity - Multi-center project designed in 2005 to boost taxonomic research in Brazil using the DNA barcode concept as a catalyst to integrate field collections, museum research, genome center networks and bioinformatic advances.

Central portion of the “standard” COI barcode (~400 bp) Building a carnivore barcode database: COI

Selection of a Carnivore-optimized mini-barcode for fecal DNA: - COI barcode (658 bp) -Sliding window approach; - Data set with 45 carnivore species representing several families

16 Kb 12.5 Kb ATP6 (125 bp) Panthera Numt mtDNA COI 1560 bp BARCODE 648 bp MINI-COI (186 bp) Development of additional segments for carnivore non- invasive DNA barcoding: -Special interest in identifying jaguar vs. puma scats; - Nuclear mtDNA insertion in the genus Panthera (numt); - Use of a segment of the ATP6 gene
