The InBIO Barcoding Initiative Database: DNA barcoding of Sialis sp. (Megaloptera) in Portugal: the missing tool to species identification

The dataset contains five records of the alderfly genus Sialis Latreille, 1803 (Megaloptera, Sialidae) collected in 2011 and 2015 in northern continental Portugal. The study of these specimens found two species previously unknown in the country, S. lutaria Linnaeus, 1758 and S. nigripes Pictet, 1865 and confirmed the presence of S. fuliginosa Pictet, 1836 in Portugal (Ferreira et al. 2019). In that work the three species were identified morphologically and confirmed with DNA barcodes. Specimens were detected by direct search on vegetation and rocks around river streams and captured with a hand-net. Captured specimens were identified to species level and preserved in 96% ethanol. A tissue sample, a leg, was collected from each individual, from which DNA was extracted. The DNA barcoding of these specimens was conducted within the InBIO Barcoding Initiative (IBI), funded by EnvMetaGen and PORBIOTA projects. DNA barcode sequences were deposited in BOLD (Barcode of Life Data System) and GenBank online databases. DNA extracts are deposited in the IBI collection at the CIBIO (Research Center in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources).

Abstract

The dataset contains five records of the alderfly genus Sialis Latreille, 1803 (Megaloptera, Sialidae) collected in 2011 and 2015 in northern continental Portugal. The study of these specimens found two species previously unknown in the country, S. lutaria Linnaeus, 1758 and S. nigripes Pictet, 1865 and confirmed the presence of S. fuliginosa Pictet, 1836 in Portugal (Ferreira et al. 2019). In that work the three species were identified morphologically and confirmed with DNA barcodes. Specimens were detected by direct search on vegetation and rocks around river streams and captured with a hand-net. Captured specimens were identified to species level and preserved in 96% ethanol. A tissue sample, a leg, was collected from each individual, from which DNA was extracted. The DNA barcoding of these specimens was conducted within the InBIO Barcoding Initiative (IBI), funded by EnvMetaGen and PORBIOTA projects. DNA barcode sequences were deposited in BOLD (Barcode of Life Data System) and GenBank online databases.

Abstract

The InBIO Barcoding Initiative aims to develop a reference collection of DNA barcoding sequences covering Portuguese invertebrate taxa. Within the project, a special focus is afforded to insects, given their relevance to food webs, ecosystems functioning, high diversity and limited number of DNA barcoding sequences of interest.

Funding

InBIO Barcoding Initiative is funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme under grant agreement No 668981 and by the project PORBIOTA — Portuguese E-Infrastructure for Information and Research on Biodiversity (POCI-01-0145-FEDER-022127), supported by Operational Thematic Program for Competitiveness and Internationalization (POCI), under the PORTUGAL 2020 Partnership Agreement, through the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER), and is part of research conducted at the Long Term Research Site of Baixo Sabor (LTER_EU_PT_002).

Study Area Description

Descriptor

Specimens were collected in continental Portugal, in four different localities. Sampling was conducted in 2011 and 2015.

Design Description

Description

Specimens in this dataset were collected in field work carried in 2011 and 2015. Adult specimens were detected by direct search on vegetation and rocks around river streams and captured with a hand-net.

 
 

Methods

Method Step

Description

Sampling of specimens was done at four different localities of continental Portugal, in 2011 and 2015. Adult specimens were detected by direct search on vegetation and rocks around river streams and captured with a hand-net.

Method Step

Description

The captured specimens were preserved in 96% ethanol.

Method Step

Description

The specimens were morphologically identified using a binocular stereoscopic microscope and resorting to available literature (Monserrat, 2014).

Method Step

Description

DNA barcodes were sequenced from all specimens. For this, one leg was removed from each individual from which a 658 bp COI DNA barcode fragment was extracted, amplified and sequenced.

Method Step

Description

The obtained sequences were submitted to BOLD and GenBank databases and the specimens’ morphological identification was contrasted with the results of the BLAST of the newly generated DNA barcode in BOLD Identification Engine.

Method Step

Description

Prior submission to GBIF, data was checked for errors and inconsistencies with OpenRefine 3.3 ( http://openrefine.org/).

Captured specimens were preserved in 96% ethanol and stored at the InBIO Barcoding Initiative reference collection for downstream molecular analysis. The collected specimens were morphologically identified.
