Small-scale patterns of genetic variation in the mayfly Bungona narilla (Ephemeroptera: Baetidae) in rainforest streams, south-east Queensland
نویسنده
چکیده
1. Genetic structure of the mayfly Bungona narilla was examined using allozymes and a section of the cytochrome oxidase I gene. 2. The study had two major aims. The first was to determine whether patterns of genetic variation in mitochondrial DNA were similar to those found previously for allozymes, i.e. that more variation was evident among pools within a single stream than among streams. The mitochondrial DNA results were similar to those reported previously for allozymes, supporting the idea that larvae within any particular pool were unrepresentative of the total population and may result from a few matings. 3. The second aim was to test the hypothesis that the variation among pools within a stream was greater after dry periods than after wet periods. This was because after wet periods, larvae would have greater opportunity for mixing because of movement among pools. This hypothesis was partly supported by the mitochondrial DNA data but not by the allozyme data, in which variation among pools was extremely low on both sampling occasions. The reasons for this difference are unclear.

Bungona illiesi (Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty) n.comb. was described from a single specimen collected in northern Queensland, Australia, as a species of Cloeodes Traver. The distinguishing characteristics of a minute maxillary palp, the absence of spination on the mandibles between the mola and prostheca, narrow-elongate gills, and medially expanded labial palps were later found to occur in Bungona ...

We report new data about mayfly diversity from a 85 km area in East Kalimantan (Borneo, Indonesia). More than 40 mayfly genera have been collected in a lowland Dipterocarpaceae forest. They belong to the following families (by decreasing diversity order): Baetidae (12), Leptophlebiidae (7), Caenidae (6), Heptageniidae (5), Ephemerellidae (2), Potamanthidae (2), Teloganodidae (2), Isonychiidae (...

Despite its wide, almost worldwide distribution, the mayfly genus Cloeon Leach, 1815 (Ephemeroptera: Baetidae) is restricted in the Western hemisphere to North America, where a single species is reported. In the Neotropics, except for some species wrongly attributed to the genus in the past, there are no records of Cloeon. Recently, however, specimens of true Cloeon were collected along the coa...
