Abstract. Diversity at 35 allozyme loci was examined in nine populations of the taxa currently included in Darevskia saxicola . The data support the recognition of the subspecies Darevskia s. saxicola and D. s. lindholmi as species. The remaining subspecies D. s. brauneri, D. s. darevskii and D. s. szczerbaki are conspeciŽ c although they can no longer be referred to Darevskia saxicola , but mu...

A broad sample of Darevskia rudis from the main part of its range was reviewed with regard to external morphology (discriminant, UPGMA, MST and ANOVA analyses) and osteology. Darevskia bithynica is raised to species rank, with two subspecies: D. b. bithynica and D. b. tristis. The other subspecies are fairly similar (D. r. rudis being the most different). Two singular populations are described ...

The genus Lepidonotus is the largest in number of species within the Polynoidae, with more than 70 described species and subspecies. A catalogue of 18 nominal species and subspecies of Lepidonotus from South America is provided, with valid names, synonyms and original citations. Redescriptions and illustrations of two species based on new specimens collected along the littoral of the State of P...

We assessed the mitochondrial DNA sequence divergence of a 718 bp fragment of the control region and 1007 bp of the cytochrome b gene between two allopatric morphologically different subspecies of bluethroat (Luscinia svecica). None of the 17 total haplotypes was shared between L. s. namnetum and L. s. svecica. However, the mean distances between subspecies were very low for both fragments (0.0...

The article summarizes and analyzes the materials of literary sources results our own research on inventory species diversity mosquitoes horseflies in Tyumen region. fauna Yamalo-Nenets autonomous okrug is represented by 27 6 subspecies, - 29 species, southern part region 33 4 subspecies 41 mosquitoes.

Aims Existing methods for the identification of subspecies Xylella fastidiosa are time-consuming which can lead to delays in diagnosis and associated plant health response outbreaks interceptions. Methods Results Diagnostic markers were identified using a comparative genomics approach allow fine differentiation very closely related subspecies. Five qPCR assays designed specific detection X. sub...

Abstract The Meadow and Steppe viper, Vipera ursinii-renardi complex is a well-studied group that divided into several morphological subspecies. In this study, we combine the analyses of two mitochondrial genes with 9 microsatellite markers to compare both phylogenetic signals. Whereas signal similar between genomes within most subspecies, relative relationships subspecies are more differentiat...

background: interest in tatera indica rodent arises mostly because it is believed that this species is survived among four subspecies reported from iran, two of which exist in khuzestan province. in addition, it might has a role as res­ervoir hosts of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis in the transmission of leishmania major in some of the widespread asian foci including southwestern iran. method...
