The InBIO Barcoding Initiative Database: Portuguese Earwigs (Dermaptera)
The dataset contains 56 records of Earwigs (Dermaptera) species collected from 2006 to 2019 in continental Portugal. All captured specimens were identified to species level, belonging to ten of the fourteen species of Dermaptera present in Portugal.
Specimens were detected and captured by direct search of the environment. Captured specimens were preserved in 96% ethanol. From each specimen one leg (tissue sample) was removed to be used for DNA extraction. Preserved specimens and DNA extracts are deposited in the within the InBIO Barcoding Initiative (IBI) collection at the CIBIO (Research Center in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources).
Samples of each species were selected for DNA sequencing based on geographic provenance of the corresponding specimen. Sequencing of the 658 bp DNA barcodes was conducted within the InBIO Barcoding Initiative (IBI) and all DNA sequences were submitted to BOLD (Barcode of Life Data System) and GenBank 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). The fieldwork benefited from EDP Biodiversity Chair, the project “Promoção dos serviços de ecossistemas no Parque Natural Regional do Vale do Tua: Controlo de Pragas Agrícolas e Florestais por Morcegos” funded by the Agência de Desenvolvimento Regional do Vale do Tua and includes research conducted at the Long Term Research Site of Baixo Sabor (LTER_EU_PT_002).
Study Area Description
- Descriptor
-
Specimens were captured during several field incursions throughout Portugal from 2006 to 2019 in 30 localities, distributed across 11 districts.
Design Description
- Description
-
The specimens in this dataset were collected in field work incursion carried out between 2006 and 2019, encompassing several sites throughout Portugal in an attempt to have a good representation of the country’s fauna. Specimens of Dermaptera were detected by direct search of the vegetation and soil.
Methods
• Method
Method Step
- Description
-
Specimens of Dermaptera were captured in continental Portugal from 2006 and 2019 by direct search of the sampling site. Collected specimens were preserved in 96% ethanol prior to storage.
Method Step
- Description
-
The specimens were morphologically identified resorting to available literature (Chopard, 1922, 1943; Lapeira and Pascual, 1980; Albouy and Caussanel, 1990; Bivar de Sousa, 1997).
Method Step
- Description
-
Six specimens from each species (or all specimens, when less than six available) were selected for DNA extraction and sequencing, based on geographical location. 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
-
All obtained sequences were submitted to BOLD and GenBank databases and to each sequenced specimen the morphological identification was contrasted with the results of the BLAST of the newly generated DNA barcodes in BOLD Identification Engine.
Method Step
- Description
-
Prior submission to GBIF, data was checked for errors and inconsistencies with OpenRefine 3.2 ( http://openrefine.org/).
Sampling
- Study Extent
-
Specimens of Dermaptera were captured in thirty sites, distributed across eleven districts of the country. Sampling was conducted from 2006 to 2019, in several field work expeditions.
- Sampling Description
-
Specimens were captured from 2006 to 2019 in continental Portugal by direct search of thirty sampling sites. Captured insects were preserved in 96% ethanol and stored at the InBIO Barcoding Initiative reference collection for downstream molecular analysis. Collected specimens were morphologically identified using a binocular stereoscopic microscope.
