[Taxacom] Barcoding without DNA? Species identification using near infrared spectroscopy

Hennig's holomorphology concept defines taxonomy as a process that synthesizes
evidence from all relevant comparative sources. One possible source is
metabolomics, in which the global metabolic profile is analyzed. An integral
metabolic profile can be quickly obtained, nondestructively, through
spectroscopy in the near infrared region. Here we use near infrared spectroscopy
and chemometry to identify nine species of flies in the genus Neodexiopsis
Malloch (Muscidae, Diptera). This genus is the most species-rich of the
Muscoidea in the Neotropical region. Identification success demonstrates that
near infrared spectroscopy may provide a new source of data to test and organize
hypotheses of species delimitation. Comparing near infrared spectroscopy with
DNA barcoding, spectroscopy may have even greater conceptual merit as a true
barcode of life....

The hotspot in question, including Sulawesi (i.e., "Celebes"),
the Lesser Sunda Islands, etc., is called Wallacea. It is to the east
of the Wallace Line (while the Sundaland hotspot is to the west of that
line). I believe that the eastern boundary of Wallacea is called the
"Weber Line".
Wallacea is what I recently called the "gauntlet", which tends
to very effectively filter out many dispersals from both directions
(Sundaland on the west and most of Australasia to the east). Wallacea
is thus a mixture which is particularly rich in endemic species (those
which got isolated and stuck within this "gauntlet" but unable to
completely penetrate the gauntlet (in either direction).
Anyway, a Google search for "Wallacea biodiversity" should yield
a lot good possibilities, or better yet, "Wallacea biodiversity" and
map.

Can anyone direct me to one or more recent papers that identify global
centers of biodiversity? I recall there were one or two papers (maybe in
Nature or Science) that did this with some color coded maps. I am
interested to see if the region of South East Asia, particularly the
region of the Lesser Sunda and Celebes showed up in any particular way.
I could probably track (and no bad pun unintended) this down next week,
but it would be helpful to me to find these articles as soon as possible
for possible citation purposes and I am assuming that some on this list
probably keep apace with global biodiversity overviews.
Thanks,

Hi John,
?
Hawkins (2010 J Biogeogr) showed arborescent plant?families most diverse in
Malesia (Malaysia/Indonesia/Philippines/New Guinea), also?Panama/Costa Rica (bit
hard to read his color-coded map). An example of a widespread Old World
group?with its highest species diversity in Sulawesi is Macaca.??
?? That's not much I'm afraid -?it seems Sulawesi biogeography is overdue for
a?review paper.???

Hi John,
I presume you were thinking of the following:
Myers, N., Mittermeier, R.A., Mittermeier, C.G., da
Fonseca, G.A.B., Kent, J. Biodiversity hotspots for conservation
priorities. Nature 403: 853?858, 2000.
If anyone is interested, I have a list of literature pertaining to the
biogeography of Wallacea.

Ken,
Thanks for the suggestion. I understand that there is an area called
'Wallacea', but it's an artificial construction and the dispersals are
pretty much products of imagination. It's a good example how one can
draw a line that might fit one or other groups, call it a barrier, and
then classify all other organisms as either imprisoned by that barrier,
or transgressors that somehow crossed the 'barrier'. Anyway, for my
purposes I wanted to know if the region had been identified for its
biodiversity importance in any particular way so I could comment on that
with respect to some ghost moth distributions.

Thanks Mike,
This and a couple of other papers seems sufficient to point out that the area is
of high biodiversity interest which meets my purposes in commenting on ghost
moth distributions.

In charge of the information about the Augustin-Pyramus de Candolle Prize
(2012 edition), in the name of the "Soci?t? de Physique et d'Histoire
Naturelle de Gen?ve" (SPHNG), I am pleased to post this announcement. Feel
free to forward it to any person who may be interested in applying for the
Prize.
A. Chautems
The "Soci?t? de Physique et d'Histoire naturelle" of Geneva (SPHN) is
pleased to an-
nounce the award in 2012 of the Botany Prize instituted by A.-P. de
Candolle in 1841,
which recognizes the author or co-authors of the best monograph of a genus
or family of
plants. The Prize is intended preferably to scientists early in their
career. Monographs
will be considered if unpublished, or published after December 31st 2007.
The monograph should be a complete coverage of the group considered
and include its arrangement in a system of hierarchical classification. It
should contain descriptions
of external morphological characters and internal characters - anatomical,
caryologi-
cal, physiological, genetic and molecular - as far as they can be used to
distinguish
sub-groups. A complete bibliography, critical synonymy, and identifiation
keys are
requested. The work should comply with the International Code of Botanical
Nomen-
clature. Partial treatments, i.e. a monograph of a sub-family, tribe,
sub-genus or
section, would be acceptable provided that the group is clearly defined
with respect to
its neighbours.
The Prize is open to authors of any nationality or country. The text
may be written in
Latin, French, German, English, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese. A summary,
restricted
to a maximum of 4000 words, must be provided in French or English. Two
copies of
the manuscript, along with author's curriculum vitae and summary, must
reach the
following address before February 29th 2012:
Augustin-Pyramus de Candolle Prize
Conservatoire et Jardin botaniques de la Ville de Gen?ve
Case postale 60
CH-1292 Chamb?sy ? Switzerland
The Prize is endowed with an amount of CHF 5'000. If the submitted
monographs are
judged of insuficient level or do not fulfil the criteria of this notice,
the reward may be
reduced, or not awarded. The Prize will be awarded in October-November
2012. Rights
on the selected monograph remain the property of the author. Copies of the
manuscript
will not be returned to their authors. For any further information, please
