The German Barcoding initiatives BFB and GBOL have generated a reference library of more than 16,000 metazoan species, which is now ready for applications concerning next generation molecular biodiversity assessments. To streamline the barcoding process, we developed meta-barcoding pipeline: We pre-sorted single malaise trap sample (obtained during one week in August 2014, southern Germany) into 12 arthropod orders extracted DNA from pooled individuals each order separately, to facilitate...
Despite considerable progress in the ability to measure complex 3‐D structure of forests with improvement remote‐sensing techniques, our mechanistic understanding how biodiversity is linked canopy still limited. Here we tested whether increase arthropod abundance and richness beech forest canopies increasing complexity supports more‐individuals hypothesis or habitat‐heterogeneity hypothesis. We used fogging collect samples from 80 standardized plots single‐ multi‐layered mature montane...
Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases have been frequently reported in Brazil. The Program for Monitoring Diseases (ProMED) is a virtual system with expert curation monitoring health events, including those occurring This study aimed to describe the ProMED as complementary surveillance emerging It has retrospective descriptive design, was conducted using ProMED-PORT reports that cited Brazil were published from 1 January 2015, 31 December 2020. In total, 220 new identified during...
SUMMARY Amblyomma birmitum sp. nov. is formally described as a new record from 99 Ma old Burmese amber Myanmar. This confirms the presence of extant hard tick genus C.L. Koch, 1844 (Ixodida: Ixodidae) in Late Cretaceous. discovery placed its wider context and some reports fossil ticks, such Hyalomma Eocene Baltic amber, are misidentifications. The belongs to clade Metastriata, group which probably also accommodates two extinct genera, Cornupalpatum Poinar Brown, 2003 Compluriscutata Buckley,...
Arthropods account for a large proportion of animal biomass and diversity in terrestrial systems, making them crucial organisms our environments. However, still too little is known about the highly abundant megadiverse groups that often make up bulk collected samples, especially tropics. With molecular identification techniques ever more evolving, analysis arthropod communities has accelerated. In study, which was conducted within Global Malaise trap Program (GMP) framework, we operated two...
A status report with preliminary results for the IndoBioSys project is presented and impact of our knowledge Indonesian fauna discussed. Using REST API available on Barcode Life Data System we recover 21,153 public records (3,390 BINs) from Indonesia compare against 21,813 (3,580 generated by project. From all BINs, 3,366 (94%) are new to Indonesia. responsible a BIN increase 36.5% in Lepidoptera, 62.6% Trichoptera, 986% Coleoptera, 1,086% Hymenoptera. After two years project, Museum...
Here we present a general collecting and preparation protocol for DNA barcoding of Lepidoptera as part large-scale rapid biodiversity assessment projects, comparison with alternative preserving vouchering methods. About 98% the sequenced specimens processed using yielded sequences more than 500 base pairs. The study is based on first outcomes Indonesian Biodiversity Discovery Information System (IndoBioSys). IndoBioSys German-Indonesian research project that conducted by Museum für...
Uma lista das espécies de Chalcididae (Hymenoptera, Insecta) é apresentada para o Estado do Espírito Santo. Os exemplares são procedentes 22 localidades e pertencem a 37 11 gêneros, sendo que somente duas cinco gêneros já haviam sido registrados Estado. Sete um gênero novos registros Brasil registradas pela primeira vez região Neotropical. A composição desta fauna discutida em relação à distribuição geográfica espécies.
The Indonesian archipelago features an extraordinarily rich biota. However, the actual taxonomic inventory of remains highly incomplete and there is hardly any significant activity that utilises recent technological advances. IndoBioSys project was established as a biodiversity information system aiming at, amongst other goals, creating inventories entomofauna using DNA barcoding. Here, we release first large scale assessment megadiverse insect groups occur in Mount Halimun-Salak National...
We present the results of a DNA barcoding pipeline that was established as part German-Indonesian IndobioSys project - Indonesian Biodiversity Information System. Our data release provides first large-scale diversity assessment coleoptera obtained by canopy fogging. The combined extensive fieldwork with databasing, barcode based species delineation and in collaboration counterparts, aimed at supporting further analyses data. Canopy fogging on 28 trees undertaken two different sites, Cikaniki...
Abstract Tropical mountain forests contribute disproportionately to terrestrial biodiversity but little is known about insect diversity in the canopy and how it distributed between tree species. We sampled tree-specific arthropod communities from 28 trees by fogging analysed beetle which were first morphotyped then identified their DNA barcodes. Our results show that at 1100 1700 m a.s.l. are almost completely distinct. Diversity was much lower upper forest while community structure changed...

Launched in 2015, the large-scale initiative Indonesian Biodiversity Discovery and Information System (IndoBioSys) is a multidisciplinary German-Indonesian collaboration with main goal of establishing standardised framework for species discovery all associated steps. One aspect project includes application DNA barcoding identification biodiversity assessments. In this framework, we conducted assessment insect fauna Mount Halimun-Salak National Park which one largest tropical rain-forest...
We present the first regional inventory of fauna Chalcididae in Peruvian Amazon, with a nearly 6-fold increase number species recorded for country. A total 418 specimens were collected between 2000 and 2017 at Panguana Reserve, 400 which obtained using Malaise traps remaining 18 by canopy fogging. The morphological analyses indicated that these represent 183 10 different genera, 173 new to Peru 134 potentially species. submitted 268 specimens, representing 167 species, DNA barcoding. Of...

Since December 2019, a new form of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) has emerged worldwide, caused by SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). This disease was called COVID-19 and declared pandemic the World Health Organization on March 2020. Symptoms can vary from common cold to severe pneumonia, hypoxemia, respiratory distress, death. During this period world stress, medical scientific community were able acquire information generate data at unprecedented speed, better understand facilitate...
