Biomes are interdependent. Plant communities relate to
physical properties of environment as: temperature, humidity, solar
radiation Those physical properties change with altitude and vary the

INTRODUCTION
1. Reason for choosing the topic
Biomes are interdependent. Plant communities relate to
physical properties of environment as: temperature, humidity, solar
radiation Those physical properties change with altitude and vary the
structure of plant communities. Plant are food of insects and have an
important role in the diversity and distribution of insects. Study on
responding of herbivore with the change of plant communities in
altitude will help us over the understand about relationship
interdependent each other in the ecosystem.
Chrysomelidae is the biggest family in Coleoptera order. Their
food are plant, therefore Chrysomelidae relates to plant in all their life
and sampling them is easy. For those reasons, Chrysomelidae is a
suitable object to study the interaction of biomes in the ecosystem.
Nui Chua national park includes the area of semi-driest forest
in Vietnam. Plant communities change in altitude from dry forest on
low land through semi-humid forest green humid forest on a high
mountain. For those reasons, Nui Chua national park is the ideal site to
carry out researching.
For above all reason, I choose the topic “ Study on the
diversity of leaf beetle (Chrysomelidae) and relationship with plant
in environmental condition at Nui Chua national park, Ninh Thuan
province, Vietnam by molecular biological tool ”

CHAPTER 1. OVERVIEW
1.1. The topic relates to the dissertation
1.1.1. Using the molecular biological tool to measure biodiversity
1.1.1.1. Biodiversity and problems related
Definement biodiversity: Biodiversity is the diversity in three levels:
gene, species and ecosystem. In there, the diversity of species is used
in studying biology, conservation and ecology. Mora et al. (2011)
predicted that there are about 8,7 million (± 1,3 million) of eukaryote
on the earth; among there, about 2,2 million (± 0,18 million) live under
the ocean. And they think that about 86% of living species on the land
and 91% of living species under ocean are waiting for describing. So
far, total known species in the world are approximately 1.900.000
species and every year there are 18.000 new species to be described
(Chapman 2009). In there, tropical forest supports 50% of biodiversity
on the earth (Myers 1988, Mittermeier et al. 1998) and 80% of known
insect species (WWF), 1998) although the tropical forest only covers
<10% of areas of the earth (Achard et al. 2002).
3
Measuring Biodiversity: Biologist usually measures the biodiversity
by measuring species richness. There are two main methods to
measure species richness, that are quality (the number of species) and
quantity (the number of individual or living mass per unit of area)
method. The best method for measuring biodiversity is to measure the
abundance of all organism following space and time, using a
classification (the number of species), function and interactions
between species. Or measuring a changing of biodiversity in space and
time. But, today we could not to exactly do this highly because of the
lack of data.
Crisis of biodiversity: is lost of gene, species and ecosystem. Vos et
al. (2015) estimated that the lost in nature about with ratio 0,1 species
per million species per year and now aday, the ratio of extinct is higher
1000 times when compare with natural extinct and in the future could
be higher 10.000 times. Levin (2002) shown that average of 20
minutes there is one species be lost.
Impediment of classification in studying biodiversity: The lack of
name and difficulty to recognize species in ecological research is
impediment of classification (New, 1984). This influence on
conservational research. Because of there are many species to be
extinct before described and we will not know how many species are
on the earth. This impediment makes us misunderstand about
biodiversity on the earth.
1.1.1.2. Using molecular biological tools to measure rapid biodiversity
Using molecular biological tool to measure the diversity of species:
ADN barcode in Mitochromosome (COI gene) is the useful tool to
determine animal species. ADN barcode is a good tool for
4
determining known tspecies and detecting new species (Hebert et al.
2003, 2010, Savolainen et al. 2005). ADN barcode support data for
classification more exactly (Thompson et al. 2012). ADN barcode
help determining species in the case species only recognized in family
or genus level.
In the plant, the ADN in chromosome are used for determining
species. Gene rbcLa and matK are barcode for plant land (CBOL Plant
Working Group 2009). Add this, two sites trnH-psbA and nrITS are
puted forward as supplemental ADN barcode for plant (Hollingsworth
et al. 2011, Li et al. 2011).
Using molecular biological tool to study ecological interaction: By
this method, plant ADN is extracted from the insect's gut. A part of
Chloroplast ADN are amplified, sequences of plant ADN are
compared with Genbank. This method permits us to determine host
plant of hebivove with no observing field.
1.1.2. Heterogeneity of the environment and how it influences
biodiversity.
Haller et al. (2013) said that, there are two space pattern on
the earth: superpopulation pattern in their organism live in a two or
many fragmentary and environmental gradient pattern. The
heterogeneity of environment by two factors: the first because of the
change of environment and continuously because of fragment in
space. They conclude that the heterogeneity of environment was
created regime of choices differently motivate diversity that is an
important motive for species formation.

1.1.3. Chrysomelidae is suitable object to apply the
molecular biological tool to measure biodiversity and study
interaction in the ecosystem.
Chrysomelidae is a big family in Coleoptera order.
Chrysomelidae is great diversity (the number species and their host
plant) and easy to collect Therefore Chrysomelidae is suitable
object to apply the molecular biological tool to study their diversity
and interaction between Chrysomelidae and their host plant (Price
2002).
1.1.3.1. Overview about studying Chrysomelidae in Vietnam.
Chrysomelidae in Vietnam was studied about classification,
biology, ecology from 1975 to 2008. Specially in North of Vietnam
(Tam Đảo, Hòa Bình, Hà Nam, Ninh Bình..), and midle of Vietnam
(Quảng Bình, Quảng Trị and Thừa Thiên Huế) and Highland of
Vietnam (Đặng Thị Đáp & Medvedev, 1982- 1989; Đặng Thị Đáp et
al. 2005-2008). Classification of Chrysomelidae in Vietnam is studied
by many foreign scientists as Medvedev (1983- 2015), Kimoto (1997,
1998, 2000). There are about 700 species of Chrysomelidae are
recorded and published in Vietnam. Predicting the number of species
Chrysomelidae can be over 1000 species. This show that
Chrysomelidae in Vietnam are great diversity and many species are
waiting to describe new for science. But information about host plant
of Chrysomelidae in Vietnam are limited. Đặng Thị Đáp (1983)
studied about the influence of landscape to distribution of Cassidinae
subfamily, but haven’t researched about responding of Chrysomelidae
with environmental gradient yet. 2005 year, Tạ Huy Thịnh et al.
6
Studied about insects in Nui Chua national park, but he did not study
about Chrysomelidae community. .
1.1.3.2. Overview about studying Chrysomelidae on the world.
Chrysomelidae on the world were deeply studied about host
plant (Jolivet và Hawkeswood 1995), biology, classification,
evolution, ecology. (Jolivet, và Cox , 1996). Now aday, scientist
used molecular biological tool to study phylogeny of Chrysomelidae
(Montelongo và Gómez-Zurita, 2014; ), measuring their diversity
of Chrysomelidae (Thormann et al., 2016) and seek their host plant
(De la Cadena et al. 2016; Kishimoto-Yamada et al. 2013; Jurado-
Rivera et al.2009). There are research about the change of species
by altitude, almost research are in South and Central America and on
coleoptera and butterfly (24,5%), only have several research on
Chrysomelidae.
1.2. Research site
1.2.1. Locality
Research was carried out in the Núi Chúa National Park, Ninh
Thuan province, South of Vietnam. The Núi Chúa national park was
located from 11°35'25" to 11°48'38" of North latitude and from
109°4'5" to 109°14'15" of East longitude. Núi Chúa includes 29.865
ha, in there the land are 22.513 ha and the ocean is 7.352 ha, and the
buffer zone is 7.350 ha in area
1.2.2. Terrain
The shape of Núi Chúa national park as Tortoise with a head in
South, tail in Xốp peak. Núi Chúa includes many peaks, the highest
peak is Cô Tuy mountain where is 1039m in high.

1.2.3. Climate and hydrography
Climate in Núi Chúa national park is dry, rain season is later
and end earlier than the other area in Vietnam, starting from
September in October and ending in December.
1.2.4. Plant ecology
Ecosystem in Núi Chúa national park is a semi-dry plant in
low mountain and evergreen plant in high mountain.
1.2.5. Fauna and flora
Flora in Núi Chúa national park have recorded 1.504
vascular plant species belong to 85 orders, 147 families, 596 genera in
7 phyla Fauna in Núi Chúa national park have recorded 330 vertebrate
species, in there 84 animal species, 163 bird species and 83
amphibians – reptiles species, 46 species in there are in Vietnam red
books. In research 2004 year, Tạ Huy Thịnh et al., have recorded 10
orders, 95 families and 361 insect species in Núi Chúa.
Summary, the Núi Chúa national park is unique and driest
forest in Việt Nam and plant communities change with altitude from
dry forest on the lowland, through semi-humid to humid evergreen
forest on a high mountain, therefore Núi Chúa is the ideal site to carry
out this research.
Chapter 2: RESEARCH METHOD
2.1. Sampling and delimitation biomes in Núi Chúa national
park.
2.1.1. Sampling
8
Specimens were collected 10 times in two years (2012 and
2013 years) fixed and along 5 paths in the Núi Chúa national park:
Mái Nhà, Đá Đỏ, Ao Hồ, Núi Ông và Suối Trục. In every path,
sampling from the altitude at sea level (corresponding to the dry
ecoregion) go to up at 449m in altitude (corresponding to the transition
ecoregion and a part of the humid ecoregion) and the Ðá Hang path
was only collected one time in the first fieldworking (5/2012) (Figure
2.2). Chrysomelidae are collected by beating around fixed sites along
the paths in each sampling. Beating is carried out during 10 minutes
from shrub, low trees up to high trees until it is impossible to stop
(about 2,5 m). The collected beetles were immediately stored in vials
containing absolute ethanol (96%) for preservation of DNA, vials
labeled for geographical location and sampling path.

Sampling sites in sampling paths with grey area are assumed transitional
area.
2.1.2. Delimitation biomes in Núi Chúa national park.
Delimitation biomes in the Núi Chúa national park are based
on previous studies of Núi Chúa, combining with analyzing some
9
parameters of the Chrysomelidae population as Sorensen – Dice index
by using the sliding window method (Barton et al. 2013).
2.2. Molecular biological method
ADN of all specimens of Chrysomelidae collecting in the Núi
Chúa national park are extracted by DNeasy Blood and Tissue
(Qiagen Iberia) kit by laboratory protocol. We used whole specimens,
which were recovered after DNA extraction, mounted dry and labelled
with a voucher number for the future. We amplified cytochrome c
oxidase 1 (cox1) gene to delimit Chrysomelidae and amplified locus
cpDNA PsbA-TrnH to determine host plant of Chrysomelidae.
2.3. Method for delimitation Chrysomelidae species
Delimitation Chrysomelidae species by molecular data: We
used phylogenetic methods: Generalized Mixed Yule-Coalescent
(GMYC) pattern with single and multi threshold (Pons J. et al. 2006)
and và sự Poisson Tree Processes (bPTP) pattern (Zhangj-J et al.
2013). We used some softwares as r8s, PADTHd8, BEAST 1.8.1 to
get ultrametric tree. Using "splits " package (Ezard et al. 2009) in R
3.1.1 software to delimit by GMYC pattern with single and multi
threshold. bPTP pattern is ran online on the web "bPTP server"
(
Classification species by morphology. Specimens are
classified by key of Kimoto (2000, 1989, 1982, 1981). The result is
compared with result of molecular biological methods.
2.4. Method determination host plant of Chrysomelidae in Núi
Chúa national park: Using BAGpipe program.

2.5. Estimate expected species richness of Chrysomelidae in
Núi Chúa national park. Using EstimateS 9.1 software.
2.6. Method research interaction between Chrysomelidae and
environment.
2.6.1. Analyzing the change of Chrysomelidae with spaces: Using
EstimateS 9.1 software (Colwell 2013) to calculate Jacard and
Sorensen indexes. Measuring dissimilarity by “betapart” package R.
2.6.2. Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA) to detect factor
imfluent on interaction between Chrysomelidae and their host
plant: Using “vegan” 2.0-10 package in R.
2.6.3. Mesruring Beta diversity of interaction between
Chrysomelidae and their host plant by biome (altitude): Using
“BAT” and “betalink” 2.1.0 packages in R software.
2.6.4. Analysing topology of interaction between Chrysomelidae and
their host plant. Using “Bipartite” 2.05 package in R software.
Chapter 3: RESULTS OF RESEARCH
3.1. Delimitation of biomes
We recommend elevational intervals from 160 m to 320 m as
a transition zone between dry biome and moist biome in the sampling
area. The midpoint (300 m) is considered as the strong boundary of
the transition area for further analysis of the Chrysomelidae
community and their host plant according to elevation.
3.2. Species diversity of Chrysomelidae in Núi Chúa national park.
3.2.1. Species diversity of Chrysomelidae of Chrysomelidae in Núi
Chúa national park basing on morphology
Total 520 specimens of Chrysomelidae collected in the Núi
Chúa national park. Using classificatinal keys of some authors, we
identified all specimens are in 141 morphospecies. Almost specimens
11
are identified at the genus level, some specimens are to family level,
a few specimens are at species level. In specimens are identified to
species, there are 13 new species for science, 11 species in there
belong to Monolepta Chevrolat genus: M. decreta, M. demimuta, M.
densopunctata, M. dubia, M. fluctuans, M. fuscicorne, M.
interruptomarginata, M. ochracea, M. quotidiana, M. semicostata, M.
thomaswagneri and 2 species belong to Paleosepharia Laboissiere
genus: P. frontis và P. nuichua. Almost specimens belong to
Eumolpinae, Galerucinae and Alticinae subfamilies. Remaining 7
subfamilies are few specimens, in there two subfamilies
Cryptocephaninae and Hispinae there are no collected specimens in
some paths. Diversity of species is from 22 species to 58 species in
sampling paths and from 85 species to 95 species in two elevations
(300m). (Table 3.1).

3.2.3. Expected species diversity of Chrysomelidae in Núi Chúa
national park
The result of estimating expected species diversity of
Chrysomelidae shown that the species richness of Ao Hồ, Suối Trục,
13
Đá Đỏ, Mái Nhà and Núi Ông paths are higher from twice (exception
Jack 1 estimator) to 4,3 times (Chao 2 estimator Mái Nhà) (Table: 3.4).
When split data according to altitude, the result shown that the
specimens collected
