Disentangling the effects of historic vs. contemporary landscape structure on population genetic divergence.
Increasing habitat fragmentation poses an immediate threat to population viability, as gene flow patterns are changed in these altered landscapes. Patterns of genetic divergence can potentially reveal the impact of these shifts in landscape connectivity. However, divergence patterns not only carry the signature of altered contemporary landscapes, but also historical ones. When considered separa...
متن کاملGenetic Diversity and Population Structure of Iranian tulips revealed by EST-SSR and NBS-LRR Markers
The genus Tulipa L. (Liliaceae) comprises about 100 species and Iran is considered as one of the main origins of tulips. In this research, genetic diversity and population structure of 27 wild populations of tulips collected from Iran were studied by 15 highly polymorphic and reproducible expressed sequenced tag-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers and 8 nucleotide binding site (NBS)-enzyme...
متن کاملPopulation genetic structure and ecotoxicology.
Electrophoretic analyses of population genetic structure, both in the laboratory and in the field, have documented significant shifts in allozyme genotype frequencies in a variety of aquatic taxa as a result of environmental impacts. Studies are documented which indicate that contaminants may select for individuals with tolerant allozyme genotypes, causing the potential loss of individuals with...
متن کاملPopulation connectivity of the corallivorous gastropod Coralliophila abbreviata: larval dispersal potential and genetic structure
Coralliophila abbreviata (Lamarck) is a coral-eating gastropod found throughout the Caribbean and Western Atlantic. These snails cause substantial and chronic mortality of the two ESA listed ‘Threatened’ scleractinian coral species, Acropora palmata and A. cervicornis. The objectives of this project were to 1) determine the species status of Coralliophila abbreviata 2) estimate the dispersal po...
متن کاملPopulation genetic structure and connectivity of the harmful dinoflagellate Alexandrium minutum in the Mediterranean Sea.
The toxin-producing microbial species Alexandrium minutum has a wide distribution in the Mediterranean Sea and causes high biomass blooms with consequences on the environment, human health and coastal-related economic activities. Comprehension of algal genetic differences and associated connectivity is fundamental to understand the geographical scale of adaptation and dispersal pathways of harm...
