Genetic diversity and DNA barcoding of Coccinella septempunctata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) from central China
The seven-spot ladybird Coccinella septempunctata Linnaeus, 1758 is an important biological control agent. Understanding its genetic diversity is vital for biodiversity conservation and effective pest management. We analyzed the DNA barcoding (mitochondrial cox1 gene) sequences from 71 individuals across five provinces in central China, collected between 2020 and 2023, and identified 19 distinct haplotypes, highlighting significant genetic diversity. The highest diversity was observed in Gansu province, while a series of specimens from Sichuan province displayed the lowest diversity. Phylogenetic analysis and haplotype networks did not reveal strong geographic clustering, suggesting frequent gene flow among populations. Shared haplotypes across regions further support this conclusion. These results provide new DNA barcoding resources for the molecular identification of C. septempunctata and highlight the necessity of preserving genetically diverse populations to maintain biodiversity.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity (previous title was Journal of Korean Nature) is an official journal of National Science Museum of Korea (NSMK) and Korea National Arboretum (KNA). The scope of journal is wide and multidisciplinary that publishes original research papers, review articles, as well as conceptual, technical and methodological papers on all aspects of biological diversity-its description, analysis and conservation, and its application by humankind. This wide and multidisciplinary journal aims to provide both scientists and practitioners in conservation theory, policy and management with comprehensive and applicable information. However, papers should not be submitted that deal with microorganisms, except in invited paper. Articles that are focused on the social and economical aspects of biodiversity will be normally not accepted.
