Population genetic structure of North American burbot (Lota lota maculosa) across the Nearctic and at its contact zone with Eurasian burbot

چکیده
The burbot, Lota lota (Teleostei: Gadidae), has a holarctic distribution, with one subspecies (Lota lota lota) living in the lakes and rivers of the Palaearctic and northwestern North America and the other (Lota lota maculosa) living in the Nearctic (except the northwest). We analysed nine microsatellite loci and the mitochondrial DNA control region of 350 burbot sampled across North America to develop a continent-wide understanding of population differentiation following postglacial recolonization. Using mitochondrial DNA, we identify three subclades of L. l. maculosa: one is widespread, one is moderately well distributed, and the third is restricted to the southwest. Lota l. lota is restricted to Yukon and Alaska. Microsatellite loci show moderate levels of genetic diversity and high population differentiation throughout North America (Rst £ 0.9). Lota l. maculosa and L. l. lota mtDNA lineages only co-occur appreciably in Great Slave Lake. An individual-based Bayesian approach to detect genotypic admixture indicates that very few of all individuals show signs of admixture between subspecies, and those individuals are restricted to Great Slave Lake and Lake Laberge. Résumé : L’aire de répartition de la Lotte, Lota lota (Teleostei : Gadidae), est circumpolaire avec une sous-espèce (Lota lota lota) vivant dans les lacs et rivières du paléarctique et le nord-ouest de l’Amérique du Nord, et l’autre sous-espèce (Lota lota maculosa) vivant dans le néarctique (sauf le nord-ouest). Nous avons analysé neuf microsatellites marqueurs génétiques et l’ADN mitochondrial (région de contrôle) des Lottes. Les échantillons nord-américains on été prélevés afin de comprendre la différenciation génétique de la population à traver tout le continent suite à la colonisation post-glaciaire. L’ADNmt identifie trois clades génétiques dans L. l. maculosa : une clade est très répandue, une autre est distribuée modérément, et la troisième se retrouve seulement dans la région du sud-ouest. Lota l. lota se retrouve seulement dans les territoires du Yukon et Alaska. Les marqueurs microsatellites montrent un niveau moyen en diversité génétique mais une différenciation génétique élevée entre populations à travers l’Amérique du Nord (Rst £ 0,9). Les lignées ADNmt de L. l. maculosa et L. l. lota coexistent seulement dans le Grand lac des Esclaves. Une approche Bayesianne, basée sur les individus, dans le but de détecter le mélange génétypique, indique que peu des Lottes montrent un brassage génétique entre sous-espèces; ils se retrouvent seulement dans le Grand Lac des Esclaves et Lac Laberge.

متن کاملMorphological and Ecological Variation among Populations and Subspecies of Burbot (Lota lota [L, 1758]) from the Mackenzie River Delta, Canada
Introduction the Burbot (Lota lota [L, 1758]) is a northern fish species with a circumpolar distribution in freshwater rivers, creeks, and lakes. Burbot live in cold lakes and rivers, where they tend to frequent deep water near the bottom (McPhail and Paragamian 2000). they can at tain a length of 1 m and a weight of 8 kg, although most fish are 0.3–0.6 m in length and weigh 1–3 kg (McPhail and...
متن کاملDiet overlap between young-of-the-year perch, Perca fluviatilis L., and burbot, Lota lota (L.),during early life-history stages
The diet overlap between young-of-the-year (YOY) perch and burbot in the pelagic zone of Lake Constance during spring and summer was investigated in relation to gape size limitation. Because perch were larger and grew faster than burbot during their early life history, perch overcame gape size limitation for various zooplankton taxa earlier than burbot. The interspecific diet overlap between pe...
متن کاملGenetic admixture of burbot (Teleostei: Lota lota) in Lake Constance from two European glacial refugia.
The burbot, Lota lota, is the only freshwater species of the codfish family and has a Holarctic distribution. Pleistocene glaciations caused significant geographical differentiation in the past, but its life history characterized by winter spawning migrations over large distances is likely to homogenize populations by contemporary gene flow. We investigated the population genetic structure of 5...
متن کاملEstablishment and partial characterization of a cell line from burbot Lota lota maculosa: susceptibility to IHNV, IPNV and VHSV.
This study describes the development and partial characterization of a continuous fibroblastic-like cell line (BEF-1) developed from late stage embryos of North American burbot Lota lota maculosa. This cell line has been maintained for over 5 yr and 100 passages in vitro. Cells were cultured using Eagle's minimum essential medium with Earle's salts (MEM) supplemented with GlutaMAX, and 10% feta...
