Development of DNA microsatellite markers in the multiband butterflyfish (Chaetodon multicinctus).
نویسندگان
چکیده
Twelve polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed in the multiband (pebbled) butterflyfish Chaetodon multicinctus. The loci were scored in 45 individuals from Hawaii. There were five to 21 alleles per locus with observed heterozygosity ranging from 0.419 to 0.883. Four of the primer sets also reliably amplified polymorphic loci in Chaetodon quadrimaculatus. We expect these markers to be useful for studies of genetic population structure and kinship, for example to determine whether new recruits settling onto reefs are related.

Arginine vasotocin neuronal phenotypes and their relationship to aggressive behavior in the territorial monogamous multiband butterflyfish, Chaetodon multicinctus.
Intra and interspecific comparisons of arginine vasotocin (AVT) and its mammalian homolog arginine vasopressin (AVP) demonstrate several relationships between these neuropeptides and aggression/dominance behaviors. Prior studies in coral reef butterflyfishes and other fishes indicate that features of AVT neurons in the gigantocellular preoptic area (gPOA) and axon varicosities within the ventra...

Detailed neuroanatomical studies of model species are necessary to facilitate comparative experiments which test hypotheses relevant to brain evolution and function. Butterflyfishes (Chaetodontidae) boast numerous sympatric species that differ in social behavior, aggression and feeding ecology. However, the ability to test hypotheses relevant to brain function in this family is hindered by the ...
متن کاملArginine vasotocin neuronal phenotypes among congeneric territorial and shoaling reef butterflyfishes: species, sex and reproductive season comparisons.
Arginine vasotocin (AVT) and the homologous arginine vasopressin (AVP) neuropeptides are involved in the control of aggression, spacing behaviour and mating systems in vertebrates, but the function of AVT in the regulation of social behaviour among closely-related fish species needs further clarification. We used immunocytochemical techniques to test whether AVT neurones show species, sex or se...
متن کاملAcoustic communication in territorial butterflyfish: test of the sound production hypothesis.
Butterflyfishes are conspicuous members of coral reefs and well known for their visual displays during social interactions. Members of the genus Chaetodon have a unique peripheral arrangement of the anterior swim bladder that connects with the lateral line (the laterophysic connection) and in many species projects towards the inner ear. This morphology has lead to the proposal that the lateroph...

Butterflyfishes (Chaetodontidae) are conspicuous, colorful inhabitants of tropical and subtropical coral reefs. There are approximately 120 species, most of which live in pairs and defend their territories against intruders. At the territorial borders, they display threatening and aggressive behavior towards their neighbors. This communication appears to be multimodal, i.e. integrate different ...
