- W1922152615 abstract "Maintaining biodiversity is essential for ecosystems to retain their resilience to the pressures imposed on them by mankind and natural disasters. Biodiversity is threatened by habitat degradation, land-use change, pollution, climate change and loss of species and genetic diversity. In order to protect and preserve biodiversity, there must be prior knowledge of what biodiversity there is to begin with. With the rise of molecular technologies, it has now become possible to assess and quantify biodiversity faster and more efficiently. DNA barcoding is a diagnostic technique which uses a short, standardized segment of the Cytochrome C Oxidase I (COI) mitochondrial gene to identify animal species. Despite criticisms, it has been applied successfully to many studies involving arthropods. In this introductory chapter, I will provide a summary of DNA barcoding on the African continent. Traditionally, DNA barcode data is used above the species level in order to delimit species but in this chapter I tested if the sequence data could be informative below the species level. Using data from the ants of Madagascar DNA barcode project as a case study, the COI data was used in landscape and phylogeographic analyses to determine the spatial distribution of genetic variation of Anochetus madagascarensis across Madagascar. A total of 120 COI sequences of A. madagascarensis from 39 localities within Madagascar and a neighbouring island were downloaded from the Barcode of Life Database (BOLD). Landscape genetics and phylogeographical analyses revealed that there were three distinct populations; a group from Northern Madagascar, a southern group and an offshore group collected on the neighbouring island of Mayotte." @default.
