The effective population size of Anopheles gambiae in Kenya: implications for population structure 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
We estimated current and long-term effective population size (Ne) of two
Anopheles gambiae (savanna cytotype) populations in Kenya. Temporal
variation at nine microsatellite loci in each population sampled 7 and 9
years apart and genetic diversity in each sample were analyzed to answer
the following questions. (1) Do bottlenecks occur in Kenyan populations of
A. gambiae? (2) How variable are different populations with respect to
their current and long-term Ne values? (3) What are the implications of
these results on population structure and history? The estimates of Ne of
Asembo and Jego were 6,359 and 4,258, respectively, and the lower 95%
limits were 2,455 and 1,669, respectively. Thus, despite the typical
observation of low density at the village level during the dry season,
large populations are maintained annually. Large current Ne is consistent
with previous studies showing low differentiation across the continent,
especially under Wright's isolation-by-distance model. Current Ne in Asembo
was 1.5-fold higher than in Jego, but this difference was not significant.
Long-term Ne in Asembo (22,667) was 2.9-fold higher than that in Jego
(7,855) based on the stepwise mutation model. The difference between
populations was significant at both time points regardless of whether
long-term Ne values were calculated based on the stepwise mutation model or
the infinite-alleles model. Heterozygosity in Jego declined significantly
between 1987 (59%) and 1996 (54%), whereas heterozygosity in Asembo was
stable (66%-65%). Despite the relatively high and significant
differentiation between Asembo and Jego (FST = 0.072-0.10, RST = 0.037-
0.038), all alleles in Jego were found in Asembo but not vice versa. All of
these findings suggest that lower Ne in Jego magnifies differentiation
between the two populations. The long-term Ne was biased downward, because
its calculation was based on an upper bound estimate of microsatellite
mutation rate. Ne values based on mtDNA and allozymes were an order of
magnitude higher. Long-term Ne therefore, is probably measured in hundreds
of thousands and hence does not support a recent expansion of this species
from a small population.

We critically compared Marcusenius specimens from the mouth of the Cunene River on the Namibia/Angola border, a harsh desert environment on the Atlantic Ocean coast virtually devoid of aerial insects with aquatic larvae which are an important food item, with Marcusenius multisquamatus Kramer & Wink, 2013 from the escarpment region of that same river, in a relatively rich and productive subtropical savannah environment. River mouth specimens were differentiated in morphology and electric organ discharges, as determined by ANOVA/MANOVA comparisons, principal component and discriminant analyses on morphological and electrophysiological characters, and genetics, including sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene, indicating reproductive isolation. Specimens from the river mouth differed from M. multisquamatus, their closest relatives, by having a shorter snout, a smaller eye diameter, and smaller nares separation. River mouth specimens were also differentiated from other, increasingly less-close relatives, such as M. altisambesi Kramer et al., 2007 from the Okavango River, Botswana, and from M. krameri Maake et al., 2014 from the Limpopo System, South Africa. We therefore designate the new species Marcusenius desertus sp. nov. for the Cunene River mouth population. 相似文献

We report here the structural determination of N-linked oligosaccharides
found on extracellular hemoglobins of the hydrothermal vent tube worm
Riftia pachyptila. Structures were elucidated by a combination of
electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry, matrix- assisted laser
desorption/ionization mass spectrometry, normal-phase high performance
liquid chromatography, and exoglycosidase digestion. The sugar chains were
found to consist mainly of high-mannose-type glycans with some structures
partially capped by one or two terminal glucose residues. The present study
represents the first report of the occurrence of glucose capping of
N-linked carbohydrates in a secreted glycoprotein of a metazoan.
Previously, glucose capping has only been described for a membrane-bound
surface glycoprotein from the unicellular parasite Leishmania mexicana
amazonensis.

Background
Two common southern African mice species, Mastomys coucha and M. natalensis, are widely distributed throughout the subregion and overlap in many areas. They also share a high degree of morphological similarity, making them impossible to distinguish in the field at present. These multimammate mice are documented carriers of serious disease vectors causing Lassa fever, plague and encephalomyocarditis, which coupled to their cohabitation with humans in many areas, could pose a significant health risk. A preliminary study reported the presence of isozyme markers at three loci (GPI-2, PT-2, -3) in one population each of M. coucha and M. natalensis. Two additional populations (from the Vaal Dam and Richards Bay) were sampled to determine the reliability of these markers, and to seek additional genetic markers. 相似文献29.
