Monogenean anchor morphometry: systematic value, phylogenetic signal, and evolution
Background. Anchors are one of the important attachment appendages for monogenean parasites. Common descent and evolutionary processes have left their mark on anchor morphometry, in the form of patterns of shape and size variation useful for systematic and evolutionary studies. When combined with morphological and molecular data, analysis of anchor morphometry can potentially answer a wide rang...
متن کاملPhylogenetic relationships among monogenean gill parasites (Dactylogyridea, Ancyrocephalidae) infesting tilapiine hosts (Cichlidae): systematic and evolutionary implications.
We studied the systematics of 14 species of monogenean (Ancyrocephalidae) gill parasites from West African tilapiine hosts (Cichlidae) using both morphological and genetic data. With these tools, we were able to: (i) confirm the validity of the previously described morphological parasite species and of the genus Scutogyrus; (ii) propose that some stenoxenous species (i.e., parasite species with...
متن کاملA Deformable Generic 3D Model of Haptoral Anchor of Monogenean
In this paper, a digital 3D model which allows for visualisation in three dimensions and interactive manipulation is explored as a tool to help us understand the structural morphology and elucidate the functions of morphological structures of fragile microorganisms which defy live studies. We developed a deformable generic 3D model of haptoral anchor of dactylogyridean monogeneans that can subs...
متن کاملClock gene evolution: seasonal timing, phylogenetic signal, or functional constraint?
Genetic determinants of seasonal reproduction are not fully understood but may be important predictors of organism responses to climate change. We used a comparative approach to study the evolution of seasonal timing within a fish community in a natural common garden setting. We tested the hypothesis that allelic length variation in the PolyQ domain of a circadian rhythm gene, Clock1a, correspo...
متن کاملCharge Distribution of Signal Peptides and Signal Anchor Type II
Hydrophobic signal sequences, that is, signal peptides (SP) and type I and type II signal-anchor sequences (SA-1, SA-2), are responsible for secretion of mature proteins and translocation of Cterminal and N-terminal segments, respectively [1]. Almost all signal sequences show positively charged residues at their N-terminal end [2]. However, it is difficult to discriminate difference between SP ...
