Divergent karyotypes of the annual killifish genus Nothobranchius (Cyprinodontiformes, Nothobranchiidae)
Karyotypes of two species of the African annual killifish genus Nothobranchius Peters, 1868, Nothobranchius brieni Poll, 1938 and Nothobranchius sp. from Kasenga (D.R. Congo) are described. Both species displayed diploid chromosome number 2n = 49/50 for males and females respectively with multiple-sex chromosome system type X1X2Y/X1X1X2X2. The karyotypes of studied species are considerably diff...
متن کاملComparative mapping and rapid karyotypic evolution in the genus helianthus.
Comparative genetic linkage maps provide a powerful tool for the study of karyotypic evolution. We constructed a joint SSR/RAPD genetic linkage map of the Helianthus petiolaris genome and used it, along with an integrated SSR genetic linkage map derived from four independent H. annuus mapping populations, to examine the evolution of genome structure between these two annual sunflower species. T...
متن کاملAnnual fishes of the genus Nothobranchius as a model system for aging research.
Aging research in vertebrates is hampered by the lack of short-lived models. Annual fishes of the genus Nothobranchius live in East African seasonal ponds. Their life expectancy in the wild is limited by the duration of the wet season and their lifespan in captivity is also short. Nothobranchius are popular aquarium fishes and many different species are kept as captive strains, providing rich m...
متن کاملReproductive Adaptations among Viviparous Fishes (cyprinodontiformes: Poeciliidae).
Within the family Poeciliidae, a wide range of adaptations accompanying viviparity has evolved. The reproductive mechanisms of five representative species were examined and related to the habitats in which they are employed. Poecilia reticulata, the guppy, represents the majority of poeciliids which have a single stage of embryos in the ovary at a time. Most of the nutrients are prepack-aged in...
