We developed six new microsatellite markers containing tetranucleotide repeat motifs (GATA/CTAT) for Lanyu scops owl (Otus elegans botelensis) from an enriched partial library. All these loci are polymorphic and conform to Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. We cross-species
tested these and 12 other microsatellite primer pairs previously developed from O. elegans on four other species of owls (O. lettia, O. spilocephalus, O. scops, and Ninox scutulata). Results showed that the degree of polymorphism decreased with increasing phylogenetic distance to O. elegans. Most loci (66.7, 83.3, and 100%) were polymorphic in the three Otus owls but only five (27.8%) were polymorphic in N. scutulata. These microsatellites should be very useful genetic markers in studying the mating system, population genetics, and conservation
of other little studied Old World Otus owls. 相似文献

We report the isolation of 19 primer pairs for amplification of polymorphic microsatellite loci for Hypericum cumulicola. These markers were evaluated in 24 individuals from one population; two to four alleles were detected per locus, and observed heterozygosity ranged from 0 to 0.5. Two loci demonstrated significant heterozygote deficiencies, possibly due to null alleles, and significant linkage disequilibrium was found between six pairs of loci. The remaining microsatellite loci will help determine if genetic differentiation is responsible for life‐history differences between natural and anthropogenically disturbed populations of H. cumulicola. 相似文献

New microsatellite loci for Tawny Pipit Anthus campestris were isolated from a genomic library. We were able to unambiguously score six loci: two were dinucleotide, one trinucleotide,
two tetranucleotide and one pentanucleotide that turned out to be sex-linked. Four out of six loci were polymorphic with 7–23
alleles in our population and an observed heterozygosity ranging between 0.286 and 0.936. Cross-utility of these markers was
tested in other 17 steppe-bird species of six families. In addition, 16 microsatellite loci developed for other species were
tested for cross-species amplification in A. campestris. Eight microsatellite markers were successfully amplified; seven of them were polymorphic with 2–43 alleles and an observed
heterozygosity of 0.040–0.863. Overall, 14 functional locus markers have been characterized for A. campestris that could be useful for future studies of paternity, genetic variability and population structure. 相似文献

The serpulid Hydroides elegans is recognized as an invasive species in many harbour areas of the world, growing mainly on man-made structures such as pier pilings, where native diversity is low. In addition, because they build large aggregations of calcareous tubes, this increases the maintenance and fuel costs of vessels. While H. elegans is well known for the North Atlantic, Europe, Caribbean and Pacific Ocean, detailed information of the species for the South Atlantic is missing. In the last decade, owners of boats moored at the Clube Naval Charitas (CNC), in the Guanabara Bay, southeastern Brazil noticed an increase in the occurrence of an encrusting organism that we identified as H. elegans. In this study we characterize H. elegans specimens from CNC and Itaguaí Harbor, both in southeastern Brazil, and discuss its distribution in the world. In addition, we deployed PVC panels at two different depths to quantify how H. elegans affects community assembling over two months. We observed that H. elegans could dominate hard substrata in the intertidal zone, occupying more than 50% of the available substrata. Considering the damage caused by H. elegans elsewhere and the ability of the species to monopolize space in the intertidal zone demonstrated here, accurate taxonomic information is essential for future monitoring and management of the species in Brazil and the South Atlantic. 相似文献

Inhibitory Effects of a Branched-Chain Fatty Acid on Larval Settlement of the Polychaete Hydroides elegans 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Eleven strains of Streptomyces isolated from deep-sea sediments were screened for anti-larval settlement activity and all were active. Among those strains,
Streptomyces sp. UST040711-290 was chosen for the isolation of bioactive antifouling compounds through bioassay-guided isolation procedure.
A branched-chain fatty acid, 12-methyltetradecanoid acid (12-MTA) was purified, and it strongly inhibited the larval settlement
of the polychaete Hydroides elegans. Streptomyces sp. UST040711-290 produced the highest yield of 12-MTA when the bacterium was cultured at 30°C and pH 7.0 in a modified MGY
medium. To investigate the potential antifouling mechanism of 12-MTA in the larval settlement of Hydroides elegans, the expression level of four marker genes, namely, Ran GTPase activating protein (GAP), ATP synthase (AS), NADH dehydrogenase (ND), and cell division cycle protein (CDC), was compared among the untreated larvae (the control), isobutylmethylxanthine (an effective settlement inducer), and 12-MTA-treated
larvae. The 12-MTA treatment down-regulated the expression of GAP and up-regulated the expression of AS in the H. elegans larvae, but did not affect the expression of ND and CDC. This study provides the first evidence that a branched-chain fatty acid produced by a marine bacterium isolated from deep-sea
sediment effectively inhibited the larval settlement of the biofouling polychaete H. elegans and its effects on the expression of genes important for larval settlement. 相似文献

Five new polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed for the coral reef damselfish Pomacentrus amboinensis. Twenty-four individuals from two Great Barrier Reef populations were genotyped at the five loci, with numbers of alleles
per locus ranging from 6–23 and observed heterozygosity between 0.42–0.92. In addition, the cross-species testing of six primers
developed for Stegastes partitus revealed one primer (SpGATA40) that was also polymorphic for P. amboinensis. Due to high levels of polymorphism (≥14 alleles) in at least four of the six loci and a high proportion of tetranucleotide
repeats, these microsatellite markers should be useful for parentage assignment as well as other investigations of individual
relatedness. 相似文献

The blue mussel Mytilus trossulus occurs in the Pacific and in the North Atlantic. We developed and characterized six microsatellite loci for Baltic M. trossulus. Seventeen microsatellite loci were screened, of which six were polymorphic. The number of alleles among 50 individuals ranged
from 3 to 13 and the observed and expected heterozygosity were 0.09–0.46 and 0.34–0.86, respectively. The loci were also tested
for cross amplification in M. edulis, in which four of the six microsatellite loci were successfully amplified. 相似文献

We report microsatellite primer pairs for the wild tristylous daffodil, Narcissus triandrus (Amaryllidaceae). From enriched libraries, we identified 58 unique microsatellite loci. We designed primer pairs for 27 of these loci and screened genomic DNA from 38 to 40 adults from a single population. For eight polymorphic loci, the number of alleles per locus ranged from five to 17. As six primers also amplified loci in three other Narcissus species, including two horticultural varieties, we expect that some of these markers will be transferable to other Narcissus species. 相似文献

Five microsatellite loci were isolated from the saltmarsh beetle Pogonus chalceus. Polymorphism ranges from six to 16 alleles, and observed and expected heterozygosities range from 0.437–0.764 and 0.588–0.786, respectively. Most loci cross‐amplified well in four other Pogonus species. 相似文献

We report the isolation and characterization of polymorphic microsatellite loci for the Siberian flying squirrel Pteromys volans. The seven most useful loci had between six and 11 alleles and expected heterozygosities ranging from 0.477 to 0.866. We also tested the utility of these loci in other squirrel species, northern flying squirrels (Glaucomys sabrinus and G. volans) and the common red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris). Three of the Siberian flying squirrel loci were polymorphic in other squirrel species, suggesting a limited potential for cross‐species use. 相似文献

Hydroides elegans is a major fouling organism in tropical waters around the world, including Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. To determine the importance of initial surface characteristics on biofilm community composition and subsequent colonization by larvae of H. elegans, the settlement and recruitment of larvae to biofilmed surfaces with six different initial surface wettabilities were tested in Pearl Harbor. Biofilm community composition, as determined by a combined approach of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and fluorescence in situ hybridization, was similar across all surfaces, regardless of initial wettability, and all surfaces had distinct temporal shifts in community structure over a 10 day period. Larvae settled and recruited in higher numbers to surfaces with medium to low wettability in both May and August, and also to slides with high wettability in August. Pearl Harbor biofilm communities developed similarly on a range of surface wettabilities, and after 10 days in Pearl Harbor all surfaces were equally attractive to larvae of Hydroides elegans, regardless of initial surface properties. 相似文献

We describe the cross‐genomic isolation of 13 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and one variable microsatellite from five loci for the death cap mushroom Amanita phalloides. Microsatellite repeats were identified by searching the partial Amanita bisporigera genome. Flanking primers were designed for 25 of these microsatellite loci and tested for cross‐amplification in A. phalloides. One locus contained an interrupted, compound microsatellite, and four loci contained one to six SNPs. These results demonstrate the usefulness of even an incomplete genome to identify molecular markers for population studies in nonmodel organisms. 相似文献

Eight dinucleotide microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized from Hobsonia florida, a tube‐dwelling ampharetid polychaete. The identified loci were highly polymorphic, with allelic diversity ranging from six to 11 alleles. Levels of expected heterozygosity were 0.52 or greater in all cases, averaging 0.78 across the complete set of loci. Cross‐species amplification was successful in three of the eight loci for one or both of the other species (Melinna cristata and Ampharete acutifrons) tested. Although these novel loci were designed for immediate utility in H. florida population‐level research, these results indicate they may prove useful in studies of other related taxa. 相似文献

Freshwater molluscs are globally critically threatened, yet little is known about their genetic diversity. We describe the
isolation and characterization of the first microsatellite markers for the European swan mussel, Anodonta cygnea. Nine loci were polymorphic in a panel of 110 individuals from seven German and Estonian populations. Number of alleles ranged
from 2 to 14 and heterozygosity levels ranged from 0.021 to 0.498 for H
o and from 0.069 to 0.634 for H
e. Deficiency of heterozygous genotypes was observed in six loci. The length of the microsatellite repeat motives was positively
correlated with the allele numbers in the respective loci. 相似文献

The house fly, Musca domestica L., is a cosmopolitan species with a capacity to transmit human pathogens. Here, we report on the development of polymorphic microsatellite loci for house flies and present preliminary results from four house fly subpopulations from Manhattan, Kansas. Twenty‐four microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized using DNA enriched for repeat sequences. Forty individuals from four locations in Kansas were assayed to identify for polymorphic loci. Eight loci were polymorphic with the number of alleles ranging from three to six. 相似文献

We describe the development of six microsatellite loci for big brown bats, Eptesicus fuscus. Microsatellite markers were isolated from a small insert genomic library, and tested on a population of 44 animals from the Pend d’Oreille Valley, in southeastern British Columbia, Canada. These six loci were highly variable, with 12–23 alleles per locus, and observed and expected heterozygosities of greater than 79.5%. The six primer sets, and three others that were not variable in E. fuscus, were tested on 11 other species in the families Vespertilionidae and Antrozoidae. All the tested loci amplified highly variable products in at least several other species. 相似文献

Eight microsatellite loci were isolated from an enriched genomic library of the great leaf-nosed bat, Hipposideros armiger. The polymorphism of these loci was tested on a population of 48 individuals from Anhui Province, China. All loci revealed
the polymorphism ranging from three to 12 alleles. The observed heterozygosity values were from 0.213 to 0.875 and expected
heterozygosity from 0.232 to 0.820. No significant linkage disequilibrium was detected. Two loci significantly deviated from
Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium after Bonferroni correction. In addition, successful cross-amplification also suggested that these
microsatellite markers will facilitate research on the population genetics and gene flow of H. armiger and other related species. 相似文献

The recent invasion of California by avocado thrips, Scirtothrips perseae, has had a serious economic impact on the Californian avocado industry. Here we report the isolation and characterization of six microsatellite loci for S. perseae, four of which were highly polymorphic (number of observed alleles ranged from three to 13 and expected heterozygosity from 0.31 to 0.87). These markers will be used to investigate the invasion history and route of entry into California of S. perseae. Three of the six loci successfully amplified in other Scirtothrips and Neohydatothrips species. 相似文献

Horabagrus brachysoma (sun‐catfish, Bagridae, Siluriformes) is a valuable ornamental and food fish. The stock structure of H. brachysoma, necessary to conserve its declining natural populations, is not known. Twenty‐five primers developed for four fish species belonging to the orders Siluriform (3) and Osteoglossiform (1) were tested and eight primers amplified microsatellite loci in H. brachysoma. The results demonstrate that cross‐priming between fish species belonging to different families and even to different orders can yield microsatellite loci. Five of eight primers each amplified two loci. However, the loci that had repeat motifs after sequencing were considered only for genotyping. Finally, eight loci were polymorphic with hree to seven alleles. Individual fish genotype data (n = 42; 21 each in two rivers) at each locus was analysed. Significant genetic heterogeneity was detected at six loci. The identified loci exhibited potential for use in population genetics application in H. brachysoma. 相似文献
