The genetical and environmental determination of phally polymorphism in the freshwater snail Bulinus truncatus.
In some species of self-fertile pulmonate snails, two sexual morphs co-occur in natural populations: regular individuals and aphallic individuals that cannot transmit sperm to other snails. Purely aphallic populations therefore reproduce obligatorily by selfing. Understanding the evolution of aphally and selfing in these snails requires a precise knowledge of phally determination. In this paper...
متن کاملMicrosatellites and the genetics of highly selfing populations in the freshwater snail Bulinus truncatus.
Hermaphrodite tropical freshwater snails provide a good opportunity to study the effects of mating system and genetic drift on population genetic structure because they are self-fertile and they occupy transient patchily distributed habitats (ponds). Up to now the lack of detectable allozyme polymorphism prevented any intrapopulation studies. In this paper, we examine the consequences of selfin...
متن کاملGenetic variability in the compatibility between Schistosoma haematobium and its potential vectors in Niger. Epidemiological implications.
A populational study of the compatibility between Schistosoma haematobium and its potential vectors has been carried out in the Niger, confronting samples of S. haematobium populations from three epidemiologic foci with Bulinus populations originating from the same focus (sympatric infection) and with Bulinus populations from other foci (allopatric infections). The three transmission foci selec...
متن کاملMicrosatellite size homoplasy, SSCP, and population structure: a case study in the freshwater snail Bulinus truncatus.
The extent of microsatellite size homoplasy, as well as its effect on several population genetics statistics, was investigated in natural populations using the single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) method. The analysis was conducted using 240 individuals from 13 populations of the freshwater snail Bulinus truncatus at a GT(n)CT(m) compound microsatellite locus. We showed that SSCP can ...
متن کاملPopulation dynamics inferred from temporal variation at microsatellite loci in the selfing snail Bulinus truncatus.
We analyzed short-term forces acting on the genetics of subdivided populations based on a temporal survey of the microsatellite variability in the hermaphrodite freshwater snail Bulinus truncatus. This species inhabits temporary habitats, has a short generation time and exhibits variable rates of selfing. We studied the variability over three sampling dates in 12 Sahelian populations (1161 indi...
