Clonal Diversity and Clone Formation in the Parthenogenetic Caucasian Rock Lizard Darevskia dahli
The all-female Caucasian rock lizard species Darevskia dahli and other parthenogenetic species of this genus reproduce normally via true parthenogenesis. Previously, the genetic diversity of this species was analyzed using allozymes, mitochondrial DNA, and DNA fingerprint markers. In the present study, variation at three microsatellite loci was studied in 111 specimens of D. dahli from five pop...
متن کاملOrigin and clonal diversity of the parthenogenetic lizard Aspidoscelis rodecki (Squamata: Teiidae): chromosomal evidence
Origin and clonal diversity of the parthenogenetic lizard Aspidoscelis rodecki (Squamata: Teiidae): chromosomal evidence. We analyzed the karyotypes of individuals of two different populations of Aspidoscelis rodecki to investigate the origin and chromosomal diversity of this unisexual lizard. The karyotype of A. rodecki has a diploid number of 50 chromosomes, and exhibits a marked structural h...
متن کاملEcological Drivers of Ecosystem Diversity in Sahelian Rangeland of Niger
Description of vegetation patterns associated with environmental factors such as grazing, climate, landforms, substrate variables etc. are helpful for land management planning. This study used new synecological tools to investigate plants composition and to provide ecological descriptions of plants communities of communal pastures in Sahelian Ecological Zone of Niger. Vegetation and several env...
متن کاملEcological variation within traditional diatom morphospecies: diversity of Frustulia rhomboides sensu lato (Bacillariophyceae) in European freshwater habitats
More than 300 strains of Frustulia rhomboides sensu lato were isolated from populations across Europe to estimate its molecular diversity and geographic distribution in oligotrophic freshwater habitats. Phylogenetic analyses, based on partial large subunit (LSU) rDNA sequences, revealed six lineages that did not fully correspond with the separation of F. rhomboides into traditional varieties. A...
متن کاملFungal endophytes in neotropical trees: Abundance, diversity, and ecological implications
Although fungi comprise only ca. 72,000described species, many authors rank them among hyperdiversetaxa, comparing fungi with nematodes, mites and insects in terms of global species richness (Cqlwell and Coddington, 1994;Hawksworth et al., 1995).However, the true scale of fungal diversity is a matter of open debate, with estimates ranging from hundreds of thousands of species (Aptroot, 1997)to ...
