“…Therefore, arthropod DNA barcoding does not replace the classical approach of morphology-based species identification (Hebert and Gregory 2005;Pires and Marinoni 2010). The combination of both techniques has proven successful in numerous cases (Pires and Marinoni 2010;Okiwelu and Noutcha 2014;Kirichenko et al 2015) and should be applied also in sentinel nurseries and plantations (Roques et al 2015).…”

The number of invasive alien pest and pathogen species affecting ecosystem functioning, human health and economies has increased dramatically over the last decades. Discoveries of invasive pests and pathogens previously unknown to science or with unknown host associations yet damaging on novel hosts highlights the necessity of developing novel tools to predict their appearance in hitherto naïve environments. The use of sentinel plant systems is a promising tool to improve the detection of pests and pathogens before introduction and to provide valuable information for the development of preventative measures to minimize economic or environmental impacts. Though sentinel plantings have been established and studied during the last decade, there still remains a great need for guidance on which tools and protocols to put into practice in order to make assessments accurate and reliable. The sampling and diagnostic protocols chosen should enable as much information as possible about potential damaging agents and species identification. Consistency and comparison of results are based on the adoption of common procedures for sampling design and sample processing. In this paper, we suggest harmonized procedures that should be used in sentinel planting surveys for effective sampling and identification of potential pests and pathogens. We also review the benefits and limitations of various diagnostic methods for early detection in sentinel systems, and the feasibility of the results obtained supporting National Plant Protection Organizations in pest and commodity risk analysis.

“…As a main problem in entomological studies is the difficulty in identifying closely related species (Okiwelu and Noutcha 2014), chromosomal data have provided ample opportunities for taxonomic and phylogenetic analyses of many insect groups (Miao andHua 2017, Soldán andPutz 2000). Cytogenetic studies have detected fundamental patterns in chromosome evolution that have assisted in the systematic analyses of many taxa (Camargo et al 2006).…”

Abstract:The use of karyological studies in insects is of considerable significance. However, chromosome karyotyping has been hampered principally by: 1) the minute size of many insects, 2) the recovery of suitable tissues, 3) the small number of cells adequate for analyses 4) the smallness of the chromosomes in some groups, 5) the difficulty in obtaining satisfactory numbers of well-spread or dispersed metaphases, and 6) the determination of the best time of the year to carry out chromosome preparations using freshly collected material because the life history of many insects is still not well-known. Many attempts have been made to reduce these difficulties by developing novel karyological methods. These procedures can yield chromosome preparations applicable to a wide variety of insects. In this paper, we outline techniques for preparation and observation of chromosomes from insect cells. Also, implications of chromosome techniques on insect systematics are discussed.
