Abstract

We know little about how parasitoids of herbivorous insects use herbivore-induced volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to locate potential hosts on saplings in forests, and how this depends on tree composition. Therefore, we performed an experiment in a forest in Poland where we placed pairs of oak saplings (Quercus robur or Q. petraea) in neighborhoods dominated by oak, beech, or pine trees. We treated one sapling in each pair with the phytohormone methyl jasmonate, which triggers induced responses in plants. We measured the VOC emissions of thirty-six saplings and placed Malaise traps with five of the pairs. We counted the parasitoids in the ten Malaise samples and identified them using DNA metabarcoding. We used parasitoids reared from oak-feeding caterpillars to estimate which species are associated with oaks. The two species of oak differed in both the proportions of VOCs and the specific VOCs that were elevated following the application of methyl jasmonate. We did not detect any overall effects of treatment on parasitoid abundance or community composition. However, some parasitoid species that were associated with oaks appeared to be attracted to elevated emissions of specific induced VOCs. The parasitoid communities differed significantly between sites and showed marginally significant differences between neighborhoods. Overall, our results suggest that parasitoids in the understory are affected by tree composition of the canopy, but the effects of VOC emissions are limited. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

13. Evaluation of eight protocols for genomic DNA extraction of Hypostomus commersoni (Valenciennes, 1836), Siluriformes: Loricariidae

Abstract

The principle and techniques applied in DNA extraction play a pivotal role in the obtention of a considerable and purified yield of genetic material. In this work, we evaluate the efficiency of seven protocols chosen from literature for the DNA extraction of Hypostomus commersoni (Valenciennes, 1836), an important component of South American freshwater ichthyofauna. We also proposed and evaluate an improved protocol, based on the combination of variables from the selected methodologies that demonstrated higher potential for extracting H. commersoni DNA. The quality of samples was assessed through spectrophotometry, gel electrophoresis and PCR-RAPD amplification. The efficiency of DNA extraction was influenced both by the method applied and target-tissue of choice. Higher concentrations and yield of DNA were obtained from ocular tissue, with a positive spectrum of incubation in lysis buffer for up to 36 hours after sample collection, without maceration, using fresh tissues and in the presence of high concentration of Proteinase K. In these conditions, samples were successfully amplified using a set of primers from Operon Technologies. To date, there is no record of description for the parameters analyzed in this work, neither the description of RAPD markers for H. commersoni , evidencing the importance of our findings.
