Microsatellite Markers Reveal Strong Genetic Structure in the Endemic Chilean Dolphin
Understanding genetic differentiation and speciation processes in marine species with high dispersal capabilities is challenging. The Chilean dolphin, Cephalorhynchus eutropia, is the only endemic cetacean of Chile and is found in two different coastal habitats: a northern habitat with exposed coastlines, bays and estuaries from Valparaíso (33°02'S) to Chiloé (42°00'S), and a southern habitat w...
متن کاملGenetic structure of an endemic Japanese conifer, Sciadopitys verticillata (Sciadopityaceae), by using microsatellite markers.
We investigated the genetic structure of Sciadopitys verticillata, an endemic conifer in Japan, using 11 microsatellite markers. Average expected heterozygosity varied from 0.282 to 0.450, with between 2 and 17 alleles per locus, and allelic richness varied from 2.14 to 2.94 within a population. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests suggested that there was a recent bottleneck in the southwestern populati...
متن کاملPatterns of population structure at microsatellite and mitochondrial DNA markers in the franciscana dolphin (Pontoporia blainvillei)
The franciscana dolphin, Pontorporia blainvillei, is an endemic cetacean of the Atlantic coast of South America. Its coastal distribution and restricted movement patterns make this species vulnerable to anthropogenic factors, particularly to incidental bycatch. We used mitochondrial DNA control region sequences, 10 microsatellites, and sex data to investigate the population structure of the fra...
متن کاملMicrosatellite markers for the relict tree Aextoxicon punctatum: the only species in the Chilean endemic family Aextoxicaceae.
PREMISE OF THE STUDY We screened 10 microsatellite loci for the dioecious, rainforest tree Aextoxicon punctatum, a species belonging to a monotypic family and genus, endemic to southwestern South America (30-43°S). METHODS AND RESULTS Polymorphisms were evaluated in 108 adult trees from four populations, including the northern and southern extremes of the geographic range of Aextoxicon in Chi...
متن کاملHistorical dimensions of population structure in a continuously distributed marine species: The case of the endemic Chilean dolphin
The complementarity of historical and contemporary processes contributes to understanding the genetic structure of continuously distributed marine species with high dispersal capabilities. Cephalorhynchus eutropia, has a continuous coastal distribution with strong genetic differentiation identified by nuclear DNA markers. We explored the historical dimension of this genetic differentiation betw...
