    INTRODUCTIONThe catalog of mammalian species found in the Philippine archipelago is far from complete. Just recently, 28 new species of non-volant mammals were discovered by Heaney et al. (2016a). Certainly, more species can still be discovered, especially in remote and unexplored parts of the archipelago (Heaney et al. 2010). Species with cryptic morphology and habits may also contribute to the number of overlooked taxa, a common occurrence in bats

    (Campbell et al. 2004, Galimberti et al. 2010). Looking at Vespertilionidae, Phyllostomidae, and Pteropodidae – the three largest families of bats – the number of recognized species in 2005 were 407, 160, and 186, respectively (Simmons 2005). However, based on the latest record in 2017 (ASM 2019), the number of species increased considerably (Vespertiolionidae, 24.07%; Phyllostomidae, 35%; and Pteropodidae 5.4%).

    Nevertheless, species are still endangered throughout the world and in the Philippines through activities such as habitat disturbance and overharvesting of animals (Francis

  • et al. 2010). Globally, a quarter of the total mammalian species is threatened with extinction, and half have declining populations (Myers et al. 2000). Conservation measures must therefore be put in place to maintain the local biodiversity, and proper steps cannot be taken unless species are correctly identified.

    As the number of classically trained taxonomists is dwindling (Hebert et al. 2003), a molecular method for identifying species known as DNA barcoding is gaining increasing importance as source of data for taxonomy. DNA barcoding uses a standard region of the genome as a genetic marker for identifying species. In animals, the 5’ end of the COI is the DNA barcode of choice. Although the task of identifying and describing new species is ultimately achieved through comprehensive taxonomic work, DNA barcoding and the data derived from it can significantly facilitate the process by serving as a supplement to the identification provided by morphological taxonomists (Hajibabaei et al. 2007). It can also facilitate the “democratization” of taxonomic knowledge by making expert taxonomic information available to non-experts in an applied context (Holloway 2006).

    As DNA sequences have become the major source of new information for advancing understanding of evolutionary and genetic relationships (Hajibabaei et al. 2007), the data obtained in this study may contribute substantially to current knowledge on chiropteran classification. In the same way, DNA barcode libraries can serve as effective identification systems for any regional bat fauna (Clare et al. 2007). DNA barcode analysis and the methodology it employs can be applied in a standardized manner across large domains of life – overcoming the difficulty presented by conventional taxonomy, where multiple data types may be required, depending on the taxa being studied (Hajibabaei et al. 2007). Use of DNA barcodes translates to more species being examined in a shorter span of time with less cost. The profiles obtained from barcodes will be cost-effective in many taxonomic contexts. It is important to acknowledge that, at present, access to this new technology is not always readily available to everyone. Nevertheless, innovations in sequencing technology promise future reductions in the cost of DNA-based identifications (Hebert et al. 2003). DNA barcoding may also serve as the basis for a global bioidentification system for animals that will overcome the deficiencies of morphological approaches to species discrimination and allow single laboratories to execute taxon diagnoses across the full spectrum of animal life (Hebert et al. 2003). However, genetic differentiation has its limitations as it cannot incorporate the fossil record or older museum specimens with degraded material. A database of COI profiles coupled with other data (images, geographic location, and other specimen data) can also serve as a

    robust record gathered by morphological taxonomists (Hebert et al. 2003).

    The family of fruit bats, Pteropodidae, is one of the largest bat families within the order Chiroptera having around 45 genera and about 196 recognized species (ASM 2019). In the Philippines, there are about 26 recognized species (Tanalgo and Hughes 2018) – 17 of which (about 65%) are endemic to the country.

    COI barcodes for native and endemic Philippine fruit bat species are lacking. To contribute to current published barcoding data for pteropodids, the study aims to obtain sequences of the COI gene of the fruit bats in the Philippines. The study also aims to test the viability of the marker in delineating the new COI records from existing pteropodids in the database. A gene tree for Philippine bats and those in existing databases were constructed to assess the fruit bat species diversity in the archipelago based on COI. The study will not only be able to document DNA diversity of bats but also have practical applications such as in wildlife forensics.

    MATERIALS AND METHODSSampling

    Fruit bats were collected from 17 sites in the Philippines (see Figure 1). Samples used in this study came from various collections by the authors, as well as collections by other researchers mentioned in the acknowledgments.

  • Species identification was based on Ingle and Heaney (1992). Tissue samples collected came in the form of 2-mm wing punches from individuals that were captured and released, or muscle from vouchered specimens. Tissues collected were kept frozen or placed in a microcentrifuge tube with 95–100% ethanol. At least three individuals per species were used for the study.

    DNA Extraction, PCR Amplification, and Sequencing Genomic DNA was obtained from the tissues using the Promega™ Wizard® SV Genomic DNA Purification Kit (USA) following the manufacturer’s protocols. The COI gene was amplified using the primers VF1 (TTCTCAACCAACCACAARGAYATYGG) and VR1 (TAGACTTCTGGGTGGCCRAARAAYCA) (Ivanova et al. 2006). Alternatively, the mammal primer cocktail (Ivanova et al. 2012) was used for other specimens. A 30-μL reaction mix was prepared using the genomic DNA, primers, and Taq dNTPack (Roche, USA). The PCR reaction consisted of 5 μL 10x polymerase chain reaction (PCR) reaction buffer with 15 mM Mg2+, 1 μL 1.25 mM dNTP mix, 10 μL Q buffer, 1 μL 25 mM MgCl2, 2.5 μL of 10 mM each of forward and reverse primers, 27.85 μL distilled water, 0.25 μL of 5 units/μL Taq polymerase, and 2.4 μL of approximately 20 ng/μL DNA sample. PCR amplification was done in a Labnet MultiGene™ thermocycler under the following conditions: one cycle initial denaturation at 94 °C for 2 min; five cycles of 94 °C for 40 s, 45 °C for 45 s, and 72 °C for 1.5 min; 35 cycles of 94 °C for 40 s, 51 °C for 45 s, and 72 °C for 1.5 min; and a final extension at 72 °C for 5 min.

    The PCR products were run on a 1% agarose gel and visualized using EtBr-UV illumination. Bands formed in the gel were excised and purified using QIAquick® DNA Extraction Kit (Qiagen, USA) following the manufacturer’s protocols. The purified products were sent to 1st BASE Pte. Ltd. in Malaysia or Macrogen Inc. in South Korea for DNA sequencing.

    Sequence AnalysisSequences provided by the service providers were assembled using the Staden Package (Staden et al. 2000). Sequences and other data were uploaded to BOLD (Process IDs BPHB092-16 – BPHB127-16, BPHB133-18 – BPHB158-18, BPHP159-19 – BPHP207-19) and Genbank (Accession numbers MK585711 – MK585812, MK622922 - MK622930). BOLD records are publicly available under the dataset DS-PHPTERO (dx.doi.org/10.5883/DS-PTERODS). To see how the COI sequences generated from this study cluster with COI sequences of other species, COI sequences of pteropodid bats from GenBank and the BOLD were included in the analysis. Finally, three individuals from the family Rhinolophidae – a sister family based on the study of

    Almeida et al. (2011) – was included as an outgroup in the final data set. The list of specimens in this study can be found in Appendix I, while the list of sequences from Genbank and BOLD used in the dataset can be found in Appendix II.

    The dataset was then aligned using MAFFT version 7 (Katoh et al. 2017), followed by manual alignment as needed. The lengths of sequences were made uniform to 542 base pairs to accommodate sequences that were shorter in length. The complete dataset included 817 sequences, of which 111 are pteropodid sequences generated from this study.

    MEGA 7 (Kumar et al. 2016) was used to calculate pairwise K2P distances needed to construct a COI gene tree. An NJ tree (Nei and Saitou 1987) with 1000 bootstrap replicates was constructed to view the groupings of the sequences. An ML tree using RaxML (Stamatakis 2014) with 1000 bootstraps (rapid bootstrap algorithm) and a best-fit model of substitution acquired from jModelTest 2 (Darriba et al. 2012) was also constructed to see if there is an alternative grouping for this study’s generated sequences. The substitution model GTR plus gamma and proportion of invariant sites (GTR+G+I) was selected as the best-fit model of substitution based on the Akaike Information Criterion (Akaike 1973).

    RESULTSThis study was able to generate 111 DNA barcodes, representing 19 of the 26 known Philippine pteropodid species. Of these species, 13 are new species records for the COI region. In addition, all generated barcodes are new pteropodid records from the Philippines.

    Figures 2 and 3 are the NJ and ML gene trees, respectively, that were generated from the COI data set. Overall, mean intraspecific genetic K2P distance is significantly lower than interspecific and intergeneric distances (Table 1). However, overlaps between the ranges of these categories were observed. In particular, some interspecific and intergeneric pairwise distances exhibited small values (< 3% pairwise distance). Examples of these cases are pairwise distances between the species Micropteropus pusillus and Epomophorous gambianus, Pteropus lylei and Pteropus vampyrus, and Macroglossus minimus and Macroglossus sobrinus from Genbank and BOLD. These cases where DNA barcodes fail to distinguish species have been observed and discussed in other studies (Francis et al. 2010, Nesi et al. 2011).

    The topologies of the NJ and ML are vastly different at the internal nodes of the trees. However, there is general agreement between them regarding the groupings of the generated sequences at the terminal nodes. On one case, however, NJ and ML disagreed on the position of

  • Macroglossus minimus. In the NJ tree, M. minimus in the Philippines (PH) forms a separate clade from the M. minimus / M. sobrinus clade from other Southeast Asian (SEA) countries (bootstrap = 99%). However, the ML tree places M. minimus PH within the M. minimus / M. sobrinus

  • Eonycteris spelaea and Pteropus hypomelanus generated in this study have nested within their respective conspecifics in BOLD and Genbank. For the rest of the species, COI sequences generated in this study formed distinct lineages. The 13 new species barcodes each formed distinct and well-supported clades in the trees (NJ bootstrap = 99%, ML bootstrap = 83–100%) and therefore show that COI is effective in identifying them as separate species.

    Results also show that COI sequences can be used to delineate Philippine fruit bat species from their conspecific counterparts in Asia. For example, as previously mentioned, Philippine lineages of M. minimus are distinct from the M. minimus / M. sobrinus clade from other SEA countries. Between the two groups, a high K2P distance of 6.63% was observed. The same can be said for Rousettus amplexicaudatus where the Philippine clade has a mean K2P distance of 12.75% from its SEA counterpart. Sequences of Megaerops wetmorei generated in this study did not group with its congenerics. Instead, the group was observed to be a sister clade of the Ptenochirus and Cynopterus. Lastly, it was observed that C. brachyotis sequences did not form a monophyletic group. Instead, the Philippine lineage was distinct from the SEA lineage (mean K2P distance = 11.45%) and both formed a species complex with C. horsfieldii and C. sphinx (see Table 1).

    Interisland variations were observed for the endemic Haplonycteris fischeri. In the NJ and ML trees, the species split into three groups that represent the specimens collected from mainland Luzon, Mindoro Island, and Mindanao Island. On average, these three lineages had an interisland K2P distance of 7.50% (range: 6.67–8.30%), which indicates that COI was able to detect genetically distinct populations for this taxon.

  • DISCUSSIONThis study provides the first records of Philippine barcodes of the family Pteropodidae and is a complement to previous efforts on DNA barcoding of pteropodid bats within Southeast Asia (Francis et al. 2010).

    Results in this study show that the COI barcode is effective in distinguishing fruit bat species. DNA barcoding relies on the capability of a standard genetic marker to distinguish between species. A marker of choice must be able to separate intraspecific variation and interspecific divergence for it to accurately differentiate between species (Meyer and Paulay 2005). The COI gene can ideally distinguish between closely related species – even between haplotypes and geographic variants – owing to a high rate of evolution that easily produces divergent sequences (Hebert et al. 2003, Clare et al. 2007, Francis et al. 2010).

    Both the NJ and ML trees show well-supported clades for the sequences generated in this study. Moreover, they generally agree with each other in terms of the groupings at the terminal nodes of the trees, which is important for the objectives of DNA barcoding. In the case of the discordance between the NJ and ML trees with regards to the placement of M. minimus PH, it was observed that sequences of the group had a relatively higher mutation rate than the rest of the M. minimus sequences. In addition, all sequences still clustered together and formed a distinct lineage. Overall, the use of NJ trees with K2P distances is sufficient in delineating species, at least for Philippine fruit bats in our dataset.

    Past studies have revealed high diversity and endemicity of bats through DNA barcodes (Clare et al. 2007, Francis et al. 2010). This study supports this idea for the Philippine species as can be observed for the lineages of the new records and in Philippine lineages of C. brachyotis, M. minimus, M. wetmorei, and R. amplexicaudatus. The high endemicity and diversity in the Philippine archipelago can be attributed to its unique geological history (Heaney and Roberts 2009, Heaney et al. 2016b).

    The distinct Philippine lineage of C. brachyotis has been documented in a previous study. Based on cytochrome b and control region sequences, Campbell et al. (2004) noted the presence of a species complex across the range of C. brachyotis. Their study observed at least six distinct lineages in Southeast Asia, one of which is in the Philippines. This and our study lend support to the reassignment of C. brachyotis to C. luzoniensis (Peters, 1861).

    Rookmaaker and Bergmans (1981) suggested three subspecies under R. amplexicaudatus based on morphology – R. a. amplexicaudatus (Geoffroy, 1810); R. a. infumatus (Gray 1870); and R. a. brachyotis (Dobson 1877). R.

    amplexicaudatus in the Philippines was assigned to R. a. amplexicaudatus together with populations from mainland Southeast Asia, Borneo, Timor, Maluku, and Papua New Guinea. However, the high K2P distance (12.70%) between the PH clade and SEA clade seems to indicate cryptic speciation for R. amplexicaudatus in the country. Similarly, M. minimus PH, which is traditionally placed under M. minimus lagochilus (Maryanto and Kitchener 1999), is distinct from other members of the subspecies. In the case of M. wetmorei, the divergence of the Philippine samples from the one M. wetmorei sample from Malaysia (Genbank accession number = HM540878) may reflect subspecies divergence between M. w. wetmorei (where Philippine species belong) and M. w. albicolis (Francis 1989). Future studies should sample across the biogeographic ranges of these species and use more markers to be able to clarify the taxonomic status of the Philippine lineages.

    In the case of the endemic H. fischeri, three distinct island lineages were observed. This result agrees with the study of Roberts (2006) regarding the diversity of H. fischeri. In their study, cytochrome b and ND2 sequences revealed divergence of this species between islands. The presence of a unique lineage in each Pleistocene island complex (Brown and Diesmos 2002) gives evidence to how the configuration of the Philippine archipelago during this geologic time period influenced the splitting of these lineages.

    Most of the barcodes for pteropodid species in the Philippines represent distinct COI lineages. However, these unique lineages must be studied further to confirm if they are indeed a different species. Using single mitochondrial gene is prone to bias, usually against recently diverged or currently diverging species and taxa whose reproductive isolation times are highly variable, lending possibility to the underestimation of diversity of the taxon being studied (Song et al. 2008). Introgression – the repeated backcrossing of existing hybrids – is also known to interfere with the resolution of relationships using a single gene (Hickerson et al. 2006). Indeed, the value of DNA barcoding is to flag species in need of taxonomic revision and perform more robust analyses (Hajibabaei et al. 2007). In future studies, it is prudent to use more genetic markers and to sample across the whole species range in order to be more precise in estimating the diversity of a species. If substantial evidence has been gathered to prove that a species within a certain geographic range is a different species or – at the very least – a unique genetic lineage, governments and conservation organizations such as CITES must recognize these species as a separate conservation unit, and therefore requires its own resource for conservation efforts.

  • CONCLUSIONDNA barcoding is an important tool, not only in identifying species, but also in discovering putative new species. Barcoding of Philippine pteropodids reveal many distinct lineages, some of which may need taxonomic reevaluation based on the results of this study. For future studies, barcodes of other pteropodid species are important to obtain to complete the Philippine database for pteropodids. Additionally, the use of more robust molecular markers for phylogeny and/or morphological studies can be done on the species that were flagged in this study.
