利用非损伤性方法评估神农架保护区川金丝猴种群遗传多样性

湖北神农架国家级自然保护区是中国川金丝猴(Rhinopithecus roxellana)的重要分布区之一,为了更好地了解神农架川金丝猴种群遗传结构,并制定有效的保护对策,采集了该保护区2个川金丝猴种群126份样品,其中分布在大龙潭的人工补食种群粪便样品60份,分布在千家坪的一个小种群粪便样品63份、肌肉样品3份。通过应用线粒体DNA(mtDNA)引物和筛选出的9对近缘微卫星位点成功地进行了川金丝猴种群的遗传多样性和遗传结构分析,同时使用Y染色体相关标记方法进行性别鉴定。结果显示:在24份川金丝猴mtDNA D-loop区401bp序列中,共检测出27个变异位点,定义了20个单倍型,单倍型多样性(h)为0.9820,核苷酸多样性(π)为0.0129;其中有9对微卫星位点能够在117份粪便样品DNA中稳定扩增,2对位点可能偏离Hardy-Weinberg平衡,平均有效等位基因数(Ne)为3.85,遗传杂合度(Ho)为0.7450;多态信息含量(PIC)为0.5950。使用Y染色体标记方法,在58个特有的基因型中检测到18个雄性和40个雌性川金丝猴。微卫星标记和mtDNA D-loop区基因序列均表明神农架川金丝猴存在较丰富的遗传多样性,同时2个取样点川金丝猴种群间出现了明显的遗传分化。

Genetic diversity of Rhinopithecus roxellana in Shennongjia National Nature Reserve as estimated by non-invasive DNA technology

Sichuan snub-nosed monkey ( Rhinopithecus roxellanae) is an unique primates in china,witch is in severe danger now and is mainly distributed in Shanxi,Hubei,Sichuan and Gansu province.In recent years,since the forest has been cut excessively and human activities have become increasingly frequent,habitat loss and habitat fragmentation have caused the population isolation and differentiation,the reduction of genetic diversity in Sichuan snub-nosed monkey.Hubei Shennongjia National Nature Reserve is one of the...
