Journal Article
A multidisciplinary approach to tackling invasive species: barcoding, morphology, and metataxonomy of the leafhopper Arboridia adanae
2024
Overview
The leafhopper genus
Arboridia
includes several species that feed on
Vitis vinifera
and cause leaf chlorosis. We report the first alien
Arboridia
infestation in Italy in 2021 in an Apulian vineyard. To confirm the taxonomic status of the species responsible for crop damage, and reconstruct its demographic history, we barcoded individuals from Apulia together with
Arboridia
spp. from Crete (Greece),
A. adanae
from Central Turkey and other specimens of the presumed sister species,
A. dalmatina
from Dalmatia (Croatia). Molecular phylogenies and barcoding gap analysis identified clades not associated with sampling locations. This result is incongruent with classical specimen assignment and is further supported by morphological analyses, which did not reveal significant differences among the populations. Therefore, we propose
A. dalmatina
as a junior synonym of
A. adanae
, which would become the only grapevine-related
Arboridia
species in the eastern Mediterranean. To further characterise
A. adanae
evolution, we performed a molecular clock analysis that suggested a radiation during the Pleistocene glaciations. Finally, to assess whether the Apulian individuals carried microorganisms of agricultural relevance, we sequenced their bacterial microbiota using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing identifying three phytopathogens not generally associated with
Arboridia
activities as well as
Wolbachia
in one Apulian haplogroup. We discuss the agricultural implications of this infestation.
