Microsatellite markers for the praying mantid Ciulfina rentzi (Liturgusidae).
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nine polymorphic microsatellite loci were characterized from an enrichment library of the Australian praying mantid Ciulfina rentzi, a group with a unique reproductive morphology and behaviour. The number of alleles per locus ranged from three to 16 and heterozygosity from 0.24 to 0.94. These markers are the first microsatellites developed for any praying mantid. They will be useful for paternity analysis and for population genetic studies in the Wet Tropics World Heritage Region of Australia.

The praying mantid genus Ciulfina Giglio-Tos includes many small, gracile tree-trunk dwelling species found throughout northern Australia. Four new species of Ciulfina: C. annecharlotteae, C. herbersteinae, C. ianrichardi, and C. terrymariceae are formally described on the basis of male genital morphology.
متن کاملThe Functional Significance of Chiral Genitalia: Patterns of Asymmetry, Functional Morphology and Mating Success in the Praying Mantis Ciulfina baldersoni
Genital asymmetry is relatively common and widespread throughout the animal kingdom. The functional significance of genital asymmetry is however, poorly understood for most species. Male praying mantids of the genus Ciulfina are remarkable in possessing complex and directionally asymmetric genital phallomeres in some species, and chirally dimorphic/antisymmetric genitalia in others. Here we exp...

متن کاملBinocular Spatial Localization in the Praying Mantis
The way in which mantids localize the direction and the distance of their prey has been analysed, to clarify the importance of binocular interactions. The results suggest the following major points: 1. Binocular interactions coordinate monocular directional information, such that the direction in which a mantid fixates its prey is intermediate between the image directions in the two eyes (Figs ...
متن کاملTension-sensitive kinetochore phosphorylation and the chromosome distribution checkpoint in praying mantid spermatocytes.
Improper chromosome attachment to the spindle can lead to daughter cells with missing or extra chromosomes. Such mishaps are avoided in many cells by a checkpoint that detects even a single improperly attached chromosome. What is detected? A misattached chromosome is not under tension from opposed mitotic forces, and in praying mantid spermatocytes, direct experiments show that the absence of t...
