1 The Biota-FAPESP International Symposium on DNA Barcoding 29 DNA barcoding of South American mammals Eduardo Eizirik Lab. Biologia Genômica e Molecular, PUCRS, Brasil Instituto Pró-Carnívoros, Brasil Laboratory of Genomic Diversity, NIH, EUA

2 Applications of DNA Barcoding in Biodiversity Conservation. Gathering data on components of native biodiversity.. Baseline data.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

3 Neotropical mammals How DNA barcodes can help the study and conservation of Neotropical mammals:. Improved reliability of surveys - Academic-oriented (e.g. geographic range refinements) - Environmental impact assessments 2. Ecological studies - Habitat association - Diet - Parasite interactions - Monitoring of species occurrence 3. Forensics and law enforcement applications

4 The effort towards Large-scale DNA barcoding of Neotropical mammals History: Precursor: 25 Beginning of the Brazilian DNA barcoding network - Large-scale inventory of Brazilian biodiversity - Multi-center project designed in 25 to boost taxonomic research in Brazil using the DNA barcode concept as a catalyst to integrate field collections, museum-based biodiversity research, genome center networks and bioinformatics advances.

5 Large-scale inventorying of Brazilian biodiversity (25) Sampling strategy 5 sites: -, samples/site: - fish - amphibians - reptiles (incl. birds) - mammals - spiders - Leguminosae

6 Large-scale inventorying of Brazilian biodiversity 6 museums - Involved in coordinating collection trips, curation of sampled specimens and their morphology-based analysis 4 Centers of Molecular Biodiversity: - Network of genome centers and molecular biology laboratories performing high-throughput sequencing of DNA barcodes from 5, samples; Bioinformatics tools: online management of data collection, analysis and integration (e.g. morphology, DNA barcodes, geography) Training activities: courses, workshops.

7 The effort towards Large-scale DNA barcoding of Neotropical mammals History: Regional CBOL meeting in Campinas, Brazil - Mammals emerge as a CBOL-endorsed regional priority for DNA barcoding. - Several members of the 25 network confirm participation, while additional partner institutions join.

8 The effort towards Large-scale DNA barcoding of Neotropical mammals History: present Activities:. Talks, symposia and/or planning meetings during subsequent regional, national and international congresses: -, 28 Brazilian Congress of Genetics - 28 Brazilian Congress of Zoology, Brazilian Congress of Mammalogy, Regional Genetics Meeting (RS) - 29 International Mammalogical Congress, Argentina 2. Funding proposals: CYTED (), PROSUL (, 28).

9 PROSUL project proposal 28 (excerpt) Goal: To consolidate an international network whose aim is generate, analyze and apply an integrated data base of DNA barcodes for South American mammals. Official participants: 2 research institutions from six countries (Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, Bolivia, Peru and Venezuela). - museum-based groups working on mammal systematics - molecular genetics laboratories Proposed tasks: (i) Training of students from multiple countries in the use of molecular tools for biodiversity studies; (ii) Coordination meeting comprising group leaders; (iii) Reagent costs for the initial phase of data collection.

33 Current challenges for large-scale DNA barcoding of Neotropical mammals:. Samples with no vouchers (especially medium-sized and large species). 2. Museum vouchers with no tissue samples. 3. Unsampled species. 4. Poor geographic coverage for most species. 5. Taxonomically complex taxa (need for thorough revision). 6. Lack of manpower, lack of large-scale funding.
