A genetic dimension to deep-sea biodiversity
Our knowledge of deep-sea biodiversity is based almost entirely on morphological distinctions at the species level. Here, we use haplotype variations in the mitochondrial 16S ribosomal gene to assess biodiversity at the genome level in four deep-sea molluscan morphospecies. Genetic divergence levels among populations of the morphospecies fall within the range of interspeci"c divergence found in...
متن کاملGenetic variability and differentiation of common carp (Cyprinuscarpio) in southern Caspian Sea and Aras dam
Common carp CyprinuscarpioL. is an important economic species in Caspian Sea. Genetic variability and differentiation of common carp investigated in and Gorgan rood estuary, Ramsar shoreline, Anzali wetland and Aras dam using microsatellite markers. A total of 100 specimens of adult common carp were sampled from regions. Seven pairs of microsatellites were tested on the common carp. In this stu...
متن کاملNatural variability of hepatic biomarkers in Mediterranean deep-sea organisms.
Biomarker assays are widely used as proxies for contaminant-induced effects in aquatic organisms. However, in many cases, their intrinsic natural variability due to exogenous and endogenous factors makes the interpretation of biomarker data difficult. In the present study, we investigated the natural fluctuations of six hepatic biomarkers, namely ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) in fish and ...
متن کاملThe Rosetta Target Asteroids Environment
The ROSETTA spacecraft will y-by a few asteroids during its course to the nal cometary target. The candidate asteroids presently are 140 Siwa (C-type) and 4979 Otawara. An alternative interesting trajectory reaching four asteroids (5331 Erimomisaki, 905 Universitas, 1515 Perrotin and 4247 Grahamsmith) has also been found by ESA. With the limited data presently available on these bodies we calcu...
متن کاملGenetic diversity of archaea in deep-sea hydrothermal vent environments.
Molecular phylogenetic analysis of naturally occurring archaeal communities in deep-sea hydrothermal vent environments was carried out by PCR-mediated small subunit rRNA gene (SSU rDNA) sequencing. As determined through partial sequencing of rDNA clones amplified with archaea-specific primers, the archaeal populations in deep-sea hydrothermal vent environments showed a great genetic diversity, ...
