基于线粒体DNA序列的秦岭地区淡足青步甲种群遗传结构分析

淡足青步甲Chlaenius pallipes是一类重要的天敌昆虫。为了揭示秦岭地区淡足青步甲的种群遗传分化和种群历史动态,对13个地理种群151个个体的线粒体Cox1-tRNALeu-Cox2片段DNA序列进行了分析。序列比对后的全长为1 602 bp,共检测到57个多态性位点,定义65个单倍型,其中48个为居群内特有单倍型,17个为居群间共享单倍型。单倍型多样性指数H_d 为0.972,核苷酸多样性指数P_i为 0.0025。该种群遗传分化明显,但AMOVA分析结果表明变异主要来源于种群内,占变异总量的92.10%。SAMOVA和PERMUT分析结果均表明秦岭地区的淡足青步甲种群不存在明显的谱系地理结构。结合中性检验、错配分布和BSP分析结果表明该物种发生过种群扩张,且扩张时间大致在0.100-0.025 Ma之间。     

云南4个地区高山姬鼠线粒体控制区种群遗传分化研究

对云南4个种群38个个体的线粒体控制区（D-loop）905 bp的核苷酸序列遗传变异进行分析,探讨了高山姬鼠种群遗传结构和分化。在905 bp D-loop基因的碱基序列中,共发现了57个变异位点（全变异的6.30%）,共定义了23个单倍型,其中有一个单倍型（Hap1）为横断山3个种群（中甸、丽江和剑川）所共享,其余22个单倍型均为各个种群所特有。分子变异分析（AMOVA）表明,种群间的遗传变异占33.7%,种群内的遗传变异占66.3%。FST统计结果表明,除昆明种群和横断山种群之间差异显著（P〈0.05）,其它地理种群间的差异均不显著（P〉0.05）,说明昆明种群与横断山种群之间出现了明显的遗传分化。     

圈养及野生藏酋猴子代遗传多样性差异分析

为评价圈养及野生藏酋猴Macaca thibetana子代遗传多样性的差异,本研究利用藏酋猴线粒体控制区(mt DNA D-loop)全长序列,对四川省金阳地区野生亲本及子一代、马边地区野生亲本及圈养繁殖子一代共102只个体开展了遗传结构变异分析。结果显示,藏酋猴mt DNA D-loop的序列长度为1 091 bp,包括115个变异位点,66个单倍型,其中,马边种群亲本与子一代共享2个单倍型,金阳种群亲本与子一代共享1个单倍型。马边种群2个世代个体的核苷酸多态性分别为0.004 77和0.004 09;而金阳种群2个世代个体的核苷酸多态性分别为0.002 30和0.002 78,子一代与亲本的遗传多样性差异无统计学意义,均处于较低水平。马边和金阳地区子一代与亲本之间的遗传距离分别为0.024 09和0.002 55,表明圈养和野生条件下的子一代与亲本间均未出现明显的遗传分化。根据D-loop全长序列所构建的邻接(NJ)树显示,金阳或马边地区的不同世代个体在NJ树上互相交叉,未形成独有的进化支,说明无论自然条件下的随机交配还是圈养繁育的人为选择压力均没有对藏酋猴种群的遗传结构造成大的影响。本研究首次利用mt DNA D-loop全长序列分析藏酋猴野外与圈养繁殖的亲本与子一代间的遗传差异,为藏酋猴实验动物遗传控制标准化提供数据支持。     

高原鼢鼠线粒体谱系地理学和遗传多样性

高原鼢鼠是一类地下独居啮齿动物,为青藏高原特有种之一。为研究该物种的谱系地理学和遗传多样性,本文测定了采自青藏高原东部3个地理种群8个小种群共37个个体的线粒体D-loop区序列变异。在长度为627bp的序列中,共发现50个变异位点,定义了26种单倍型。该物种的单倍型多样性（Haplotype diversity,H）较高和核苷酸多样性（Nucleotide diversity,πn）较低。谱系分析得到3个稳定的分支,分别与采集的地理种群相吻合：同一地理种群内单倍型之间遗传差异小,而不同地理来源的单倍型之间存在较大区别。距离隔离分析表明高原鼢鼠的遗传分化与地理距离呈正相关。AMOVA分析同样表明地理种群之间存在显著差异：地理种群间变异占遗传变异的80.45%。高原鼢鼠的这种遗传结构特点可能主要是由于第四纪气候变迁、该物种稳定的地下生活环境和有限的迁移能力造成的。     

中国北鳅谱系地理学分析

北鳅(Lefua costata)为冷水性鱼类, 分布于淮河以北, 分析遗传结构能够反映其适应环境变迁的响应。基于线粒体D-loop区211条序列分析了我国北鳅的谱系地理学和遗传多样性, 样本采自9条水系共18个样点。单倍型分析显示共计55个单倍型, 呈高单倍型多样性(h=0.9304)和高核苷酸多样性(π=0.0087)。单倍型多样性和核苷酸多样性最高的为辽东半岛种群(LD) (h=0.8920, π=0.0074), 其他地理种群距辽东半岛越远, 单倍型多样性越低。遗传距离(K2P)、群体间的遗传分化指数(F_ST)及AMOVA分子方差分析均显示LD种群与其他地理种群存在显著分化。基于单倍型构建的分子系统发育树和单倍型网络关系图均显示9条水系的单倍型不能各自聚类, 形成3大分支: 分支A以LD种群为主; 分支B含所有地理种群; 分支C以淮黄河种群(HH)和海滦河种群(HL)为主。中性检验和错配分析显示不同地理种群有扩张现象。基于化石校准点和北鳅鱼类D-loop序列1.00%Ma的平均进化速率评估各地理种群的分歧时间, 为2.3784— 0.0477Ma前, LD种群与其他地理种群分化时间最早(2.3784 Ma前), 推测LD种群受第四纪冰期影响较小, 辽东半岛为我国北鳅起源地之一, 其他地理种群以辽东半岛为中心借助松辽古大湖和黄渤海平原河口等发生多次迁移。

Brown hares on the edge: Genetic population structure of the Danish brown hare

Denmark lies on the edge of the distributional range of the brown hareLepus europaeus Pallas, 1778, where population differentiation is most likely to occur. A total of 369 brown hares from eight geographically distinct Danish European brown hare populations were used to study the genetic population structure. In all, 480bp of the mitochondrial D-loop were sequenced in both directions. Observed genetic diversity (π) was relatively low (π=0.41%) while haplotype diversity (h=0.808) and the number of unique haplotypes (19) were similar to levels found in other European brown hare populations. The observed population structure was pronounced (pairwise conventionalF _ST and ϕ _st ranged between 6.9–57% and 5–69.8%, respectively). There was no correlation between the geographic and the genetic distance. Population structure was influenced by genetic drift, anthropogenic effects (eg translocation and escapes from hare-farms) and by post-glacial recolonization from southern refuges or refuges north east of the Black Sea. Analysis of historical population expansion/fluctuation events indicated that the populations have experienced different demographic events in the recent past. Relatively high sequence divergence between some populations might be explained by multiple recolonization events after the last Pleistocene glaciations or by stocking effects. Colonization from southern refuges was supported by the observation that haplotype 2 in the Danish brown hare was identical to the central European ancestral haplotype c07.     

Mitochondrial DNA variation in natural populations of endangered Indian Feather-Back Fish, Chitala chitala

Genetic variation at mitochondrial cytochrome b (cyt b) and D-loop region reveals the evidence of population sub-structuring in Indian populations of highly endangered primitive feather-back fish Chitala chitala. Samples collected through commercial catches from eight riverine populations from different geographical locations of India were analyzed for cyt b region (307 bp) and D-loop region (636–716 bp). The sequences of the both the mitochondrial regions revealed high haplotype diversity and low nucleotide diversity. The patterns of genetic diversity, haplotypes networks clearly indicated two distinct mitochondrial lineages and mismatch distribution strongly suggest a historical influence on the genetic structure of C. chitala populations. The baseline information on genetic variation and the evidence of population sub-structuring generated from this study would be useful for planning effective strategies for conservation and rehabilitation of this highly endangered species.     

陕西省林麝mtDNA D-loop区序列结构和种群遗传多样性

林麝(Moschus berezovskii)曾广泛分布于中国,由于盗猎和栖息地缩小,秦岭地区野生种群数量迅速下降,圈养繁殖种群已成立了几十年,但大多数圈养种群的遗传背景不清,种群规模增长非常缓慢。为了给这一物种的保护和管理提供有用的信息,调查了陕西省林麝1个圈养种群3个野生种群线粒体DNA(mt DNA)D-Loop 632 bp片段的遗传多样性和种群结构。在69个个体中其碱基组成为A+T的平均含量63.2%高于G+C含量36.8%,共检测到变异位点171个(约占总位点数的27.05%)。核苷酸多样性(Pi)为0.04424,平均核苷酸差异数(K)为19.908。69个个体分属32个单倍型,单倍型间的平均遗传距离(P)为0.070。32个单倍型构建的NJ系统树聚为3个分支,4个林麝群体中的单倍型是随机分布的。4个群体的平均遗传距离为0.043(标准误SE为0.005),凤县养殖场群体与留坝和陇县群体的亲缘关系较远。单倍型间的平均遗传距离为0.043,可见其遗传分化尚未达到种群分化的水平。结果表明,陕西省林麝群体mt DNA D-loop区序列存在着较丰富的变异和遗传多样性,凤县野生群体和凤县养殖场群体的核苷酸多样性和单倍型多样较高,养殖场种群没有出现近亲繁殖及遗传多样性下降的情况。凤县野生群体和凤县养殖场群体两者遗传分化较小,存在着较高的基因流水平。     

Genetic diversity and population connectivity of the Asian green mussel Perna viridis in South China Sea,inferred from mitochondria DNA markers

The Asian green mussel Perna viridis is ecologically and economically important in the coastal regions of China. In order to characterize the genetic diversity and population connectivity of P. viridis in South China Sea, a 664 bp region of mitochondrial COI gene and a 293 bp region of 16S rRNA gene were sequenced and analyzed for 78 and 92 individuals from four populations in South China Sea, respectively. A total of 15 haplotypes were defined by 14 variable nucleotide sites in COI gene, and 7 haplotypes by 6 variable nucleotide sites in 16S rRNA gene. High haplotype diversity and low nucleotide diversity were observed in COI gene, while moderate haplotype diversity and low nucleotide diversity were observed in 16S rRNA gene. Pairwise F_ST values of COI gene were all negative and those of 16S rRNA gene ranged from −0.01409 to 0.10289. The results showed that no significant genetic divergence (or shallow genetic structure) and high levels of population connectivity among the four populations of P. viridis in South China Sea.     

岛屿生境下黄毛鼠种群的遗传变异

岛屿具有独特的生态系统,常被生态学家和进化生物学家视为研究生物进化的天然实验室,岛屿生物地理学也受到了越来越多科学家的关注。对舟山群岛8个面积不等岛屿的黄毛鼠(Rattus losea)种群进行了调查,分析了8个种群的遗传变异特征,对探讨岛屿理论中的种群动态和种群分化具有重要意义。采用线粒体分子标记技术,利用PCR扩增得到D-loop区基因序列815 bp,在330个黄毛鼠样本中共识别出15个单倍型,平均核苷酸多样性(P_i)为0.001,平均单倍型多样性(H_d)为0.364,表明舟山群岛黄毛鼠种群的遗传多样性较低。Tajima′s D中性检验显示除了小盘峙种群,均为显著负值(P0.01),表明种群受到了自然选择的作用,历史上发生过种群扩张。AMOVE显示,群体间的遗传分化指数平均值为0.745,处于较高的分化水平,表明遗传变异主要来自种群间,占74.5%。基于线粒体D-loop区序列构建的系统发育树和中值网络都表明8个岛屿的黄毛鼠种群起源于两个母系。此外,Mental检验显示不同岛屿种群间的遗传距离与岛屿间地理距离之间存在显著正相关关系(r=0.6077,P=0.004),种群遗传多样性与岛屿面积并未发现显著相关性(r=0.6255,P=0.1840)。研究结果可为岛屿黄毛鼠种群的微观演化以及一些岛屿物种的进化理论提供参考。     

Population structure of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Nouelia insignis</Emphasis> (Asteraceae), an endangered species in southwestern China,based on chloroplast DNA sequences: recent demographic shrinking

Nouelia insignis, an endangered species, is distributed in the Jinsha and Nanpan drainage areas in southwestern China. In this study, we examined the genetic diversity and population structure based on the sequences of the cpDNA rpL 16 intron. Low levels of genetic variation were detected within all populations of the endemic species. A gene genealogy of 11 haplotypes recovered two major lineages I and II, with haplotypes H1 and H6 nested as interior nodes, respectively. Haplotype H1 was widespread in all populations, while haplotype H6 was restricted to populations southern of the Jinsha River. Low levels of genetic differentiation were detected, as most F _st values between populations were zero. This result, however, contradicts previous studies based on allozymes and fingerprinting. Genetic analyses suggested that coancestry due to low evolutionary rates resulted in the lack of geographical subdivision. Molecular dating estimated that the two lineages split about 3.224 MYA (95% CI 1.070–6.089 MYA). Maintenance of ancestral polymorphisms was possibly attributable to a long-standing large effective population size until recently. Postglacial demographic expansion was supported by a unimodal mismatch distribution and star-like phylogenies.     

Low genetic diversity and lack of genetic structure in the giant jellyfish Nemopilema nomurai in Chinese coastal waters

The giant jellyfish Nemopilema nomurai is a scyphozoan species well-known in East Asian Marginal Seas for its damage to fisheries. The genetic diversity and population structure of N. nomurai, collected from five geographic regions in Chinese coastal seas, were examined based on mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene and nuclear internal transcribed spacer one (ITS1) sequences. A total of 26 and five unique haplotypes were recovered from the COI and ITS1 genes, respectively. The overall genetic diversity of N. nomurai calculated by the COI and ITS1 sequences was low (haplotype diversity 0.727% and 0.108%, nucleotide diversity 0.212% and 0.039%). The median-joining network analysis revealed a star-like haplotype network. The hierarchical Analysis of Molecular Variance (AMOVA) of COI haplotypes showed that N. nomurai populations form a single population, with a low F_ST (0.0149, p?=?0.1036). The dispersal ability, together with the biological characteristics, could be important factors for the lack of a geographically structured pattern in N. nomurai in Chinese coastal waters.     

Genetic diversity and population structure of selected lacustrine and riverine populations of African catfish,Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822), in Kenya

Determining the genetic characteristics of natural fish stocks is useful for conservation and aquaculture programs. For African catfish, Clarias gariepinus, genetic characterization could help identify populations suitable as brood stock for culture, and those in need of conservation. This study determined the genetic diversity, population structure, and demographic history of C. gariepinus from Lakes Victoria (LV), Kenyatta (LKE), Kamnarok (LKA), and Rivers Nyando (NR), Tana (TR) and Sosiani (SR) in Kenya. Using 128 DNA sequences of D-loop control region, 34 haplotypes were recovered, of which 79.4% were singletons. Only 7 haplotypes were shared between sites, implying little gene flow between sites. Number of haplotypes was highest in LKE and NR populations and lowest in SR. Haplotype diversity was highest in LV, and lowest in SR, while, nucleotide diversity was highest in LKA and lowest in LV. Phylogenetic analyses revealed five clusters: Lakes Victoria, Kamnarok and Kenyatta, and Rivers Tana and Nyando, from both maximum likelihood tree and minimum spanning network. This, together with significant F _ST values among the sites imply population differentiation. Mismatch distributions were multi-modal in LKA, LKE, NR and TR, signifying demographic equilibria. Neutrality tests Tajima`s D values for the sampled populations were negative and significantly different, suggesting stable populations. These results show the existence of genetically distinct populations of C. gariepinus that require spatially explicit management actions such as reducing fishing pressure, pollution, minimizing habitat destruction and fragmentation for sustainable utilisation of stocks.
