Abstract

Ants, which are members of the Formicidae family, have been the subject of considerable scientific scrutiny due to their remarkable diversity and ecological importance. Extensive research endeavors have been directed towards understanding the complex behaviors and ecological responsibilities exhibited by these organisms. The advent of cutting-edge sequencing technology in recent times has sparked a significant breakthrough in the deciphering of mitochondrial genomes in many animals, including ants. The objective of this review paper is to provide an informative summary of the mitochondrial DNA of ants. Exploring the intricate structural aspects, we investigate the genetic diversity that exists in the mitochondrial genomes of ants. The investigation of evolutionary processes provides insight into the complex alterations that have shaped genomes throughout time. The broader ramifications of these genetic differences for the fields of ant biology and conservation are thoroughly considered. An examination is conducted on the structural characteristics, genetic variations, and evolutionary features of ant mitochondrial genomes, along with an investigation into their physiological impacts. As the molecular complexities of ant mitochondrial genomes are revealed, there is an opportunity to further explore their realm, leading to a more comprehensive comprehension of these extraordinary organisms.

Abstract

Palm weevils (Rhynchophorus spp.) are significant pests of sago palms worldwide. Yet, the taxonomy and evolutionary lineage of these species in North Sulawesi remain unclear, likely due to geographic isolation driving genetic variation and species differentiation. This study aimed to investigate the genetic diversity and morphological differentiation of Rhynchophorus across distinct geographic regions in North Sulawesi using an integrative approach combining DNA barcoding and morphometric analysis. Morphometric traits from palm weevil specimens collected in Sangihe Island, Minahasa, and Bolaang Mongondow were measured and statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA, MANOVA, principal component analysis (PCA), and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) to assess interpopulation morphological differences. For molecular identification, the cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene was amplified and sequenced. Phylogenetic relationships were inferred using the maximum likelihood method, and a DNA barcode gap analysis was conducted to evaluate the separation between intra- and interspecific genetic distances. Morphometric analysis revealed significant size variations among the specimens, particularly in rostrum dimensions, with the EBBM (Bolaang Mongondow) group showing the highest values. COI-gene-based identification confirmed that all specimens were of R. vulneratus. However, phylogenetic analysis showed EBMin (Minahasa) and EBBM forming a distinct subgroup, while EBMan, EBSTS, EBTam, and EBSTU (all from Sangihe Island) clustered separately. Barcode gap analysis demonstrated a clear distinction between intra- and interspecific divergence, validating COI as a reliable marker for species delimitation. This study concludes that integrating morphometric and genetic analyses reveals geographic structuring within R. vulneratus, highlighting the effectiveness of combined methods for accurate identification and population differentiation.

Abstract

DNA barcoding and mini-barcoding are widely used to study insect biodiversity, including ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). This study evaluated the effectiveness of both approaches for species identification and phylogenetic inference in ants, with particular attention to the performance of universal primers during PCR amplification. Full-length DNA barcode (658 bp) and mini-barcode (127 bp) regions of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene were retrieved from GenBank, aligned, and analysed with maximum-likelihood phylogenetics (1,000 bootstrap replicates) under the Tamura-Nei model. The universal DNA barcoding primers (Folmer's LCO1490 and HCO2198) showed generally good alignment with ant COI sequences. However, multiple nucleotide mismatches were observed in LCO1490, including one critical mismatch located within the GC clamp region. In contrast, the universal mini-barcoding primers (UniMinibarF1 and UniMinibarR1) showed critical mismatches at their 3′ ends, likely reducing PCR efficiency. Despite limitations associated with primer mismatches, both DNA barcoding and mini-barcoding are reliable for species identification. DNA barcoding and mini barcoding are both capable of distinguishing ants at the species level, regardless of the length of the sequences being compared. The same sequences have also been used for phylogenetic analysis, showing good ability to distinguish ant species based on phylogenetic tree reconstruction. The comparison of DNA barcoding and mini-barcoding in ants showed that longer sequences offered superior resolution for species identification and phylogenetic reconstruction. These findings underscore the need for primer optimisation in ant-specific applications and highlight the utility of both barcoding strategies for taxonomic and evolutionary studies.

Abstract

The use of smer plant extracts is one alternative in environmentally friendly pest control. This research generally aims to obtain a technology for controlling Paracoccus marginatus mealybug pests that is environmentally friendly and easily applied by farmers. This study aims to determine the formulation of vegetable insecticide extract of pangi leaves to control papaya mealybug P. marginatus. This research was conducted at the Laboratory of Plant Pests and Diseases, Faculty of Agriculture, Sam Ratulangi University Manado. This research method used consisted of five treatments of pangi leaf extract dosage, namely: 5%, 10%, 20%, 40% and control. Each treatment was tested on pest nymphs. P. marginatus. And each treatment was repeated 5 times. The results of the study showed that 40% pangi leaf extract had the highest percentage of daily mortality at 24% and 48%. The higher the concentration of pangi leaf extract formulation, the higher the killing power on mealybug P. marginatus.
