Gel electrophoresis was used to measure genetic variation in the orange roughyHoplostethus atlanticus. Samples were collected on the continental slope in the Tasman Sea, South-west Pacific Ocean and North-east Atlantic Ocean, at various periods from 1982 to 1984. Twenty-two enzymatic loci were resolved in seven samples to give observed heterozygosities between 0.104±0.037 and 0.125±0.044. There was little genetic differentiation between populations separated by a distance of approximately 21 000 km. Tasman-Pacific and Atlantic samples differed significantly in allele frequency at only two loci, while at a third locus a rare allele was found only in the Atlantic Ocean. 相似文献

Genetic heterogeneity among adult and recruit red sea urchins, Strongylocentrotus franciscanus 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Allozyme electrophoresis was used to characterize genetic variation within and among natural populations of the red sea urchin
Strongylocentrotus franciscanus. In 1995 to 1996, adult urchins were sampled from twelve geographically separated populations, seven from northern California
and five from southern California (including Santa Rosa Island). Significant population heterogeneity in allelic frequencies
was observed at five of six polymorphic loci. No geographic pattern of differentiation was evident; neighboring populations
were often more genetically differentiated than distant populations. Northern and southern populations were not consistently
distinguishable at any of the six loci. In order to assess within-population genetic variation and patterns of recruitment,
large samples were collected from several northern California populations in 1996 and 1997, and were divided into three size
classes, roughly representing large adults (>60 mm), medium-sized individuals (31 to 60 mm, “subadults”) and individuals <2 yr
of age (≤30 mm test diam, referred to as “recruits”). Comparisons of allelic counts revealed significant spatial and temporal
differentiation among size-stratified population samples. Recruit samples differed significantly from adult samples collected
at the same locale, and showed extensive between-year variation. Genetic differentiation among recruit samples was much higher
in 1997 than in 1996. Between-year differences within populations were always greater for recruits than for adults. Potential
explanations for the differentiation of recruit samples include pre- and post-settlement natural selection and high interfamily
variance in reproductive success or “sweepstakes” recruitment. Unless recruit differentiation can be attributed to an improbable
combination of strong and spatially diverse selection, such differentiation across northern California populations indicates
that the larval pool is not well mixed geographically (even on spatial scales <20 km), despite long planktonic larval duration.

Genetic structure of populations of two species of Chthamalus (Crustacea: Cirripedia) in the north-east Atlantic and Mediterranean 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Protein electrophoresis on starch gels was used to investigate population genetic structure of the barnacles Chthamalus
montagui
Southward and C. stellatus (Poli) over their north-east Atlantic and Mediterranean ranges. In each species, a single locus exhibited marked differentiation
of allele frequencies between Atlantic and Mediterranean localities; in C. stellatus, genetic differentiation between the two basins had not previously been noted. In both species, mean heterozygosity per locus
appeared higher in the Mediterranean samples than in the Atlantic, and Mediterranean populations had more alleles at the loci
studied. Possible explanations for the differentiation between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean populations are discussed.

Electrophoretic variation in proteins encoded by 23 loci revealed substantial genetic differentiation among populations of bicolor damselfish (Eupomacentrus partitus) collected from four coral reefs in the Florida Keys, USA, during 1986–1988. Genetic differentiation was concentrated between a sample collected from Little Grecian Rocks Reef (LGR) and the remaining samples, including fish from a reef only 600 m distant (Grecian Rocks Reef). Genetic distinction of the LGR sample derived from significantly heterogenous allelic frequencies at six of eight polymorphic loci. Aco-1 (aconitase); Ada (adenosine deaminase); Gpi-2 (glucosephosphate isomerase); Ldh-2 and Ldh-3 (lactate dehydrogenase); and Me-1 (malic enzyme); nevertheless, differentiation at cytosolic aconitase (Aco-1) far exceeded that observed for other loci (fixation index, F
ST=0.482), and differences in Aco-1 allele frequencies were largely responsible for large genetic distances (0.20) between LGR and the other reefs. Paradoxically, estimates of numbers of migrants exchanged between reefs per generation (mN
e=17.47) indicated the potential for extensive gene flow. The extent of genetic differentiation among these populations is evaluated relative to models of population genetic structure based on equilibrium between gene flow and natural selection or genetic drift. 相似文献

Genetic differentiation and genetic variability of sporophytic and gametophytic populations of Gelidium arbuscula (Bory) from three localities sampled in 1989 and 1990 in the Canary Islands (Spain) were examined by isozyme electrophoresis. Twenty-three to 29 putative alleles corresponding to 22 gene loci, were compared. High deviations in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and significant differences between allelic frequencies of sporophytic and gametophytic subpopulations at the same locality were found, suggesting a predominant asexual reproduction of G. arbuscula. The genetic variability (percentage of polymorphic loci, mean number of alleles per locus and average gene diversity) of haploid subpopulations was lower than that of diploid subpopulations at all three localities, being the lowest described for seaweeds. No correlation between genetic and geographical distance was found. The high genetic differentiation coefficient between all subpopulations suggests a very reduced genetic flow between subpopulations of the same and of different localities. These results suggest that the genetic structure of the populations of G. arbuscula from the Canary Islands is due to a founder-effect combined with a predominance of asexual reproduction. This is the first report comparing allelic frequencies between sporophytic and gametophytic subpopulations of seaweeds. 相似文献

This paper reports data on 28 allozyme loci in wild and artificially reared sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) samples, originating from either coastal lagoon or marine sites in the Mediterranean Sea. F
ST analysis (θ estimator) indicated strong genetic structuring among populations; around 34% of the overall genetic variation
is due to interpopulation variation. Pairwise θ estimates showed that, on average, the degree of genetic structuring was much
higher between marine populations than between samples from lagoons. Six polymorphic loci showed differences in allele frequencies
between marine and lagoon samples. Multivariate analyses of individual allozymic profiles and of allele frequencies suggested
that different arrays of genotypes prevail in lagoons compared to marine samples, particularly at those loci that, on the
basis of previous acclimation experiments, had been implicated in adaptation to freshwater. On the other hand, variation at
“neutral” allozyme loci reflects to a greater extent the geographic location of populations. Allozyme differentiation was
also studied in a D. labrax population from the Portuguese coast. Average genetic distance between this population and the Mediterranean populations
was quite high (Nei's D = 0.236) and calls into question the taxonomic status of the Portuguese population. Finally, genetic relationships between
D. labrax and D. punctatus were evaluated. Average Nei's D was 0.648, revealing high genetic differentiation between the two species, even for two sympatric populations of these species
in Egypt; thus gene flow was not indicated between species.

Five polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed and then used to assess the population genetic structure of a commercially
harvested merobenthic octopus species (Octopus maorum) in south-east Australian and New Zealand (NZ) waters. Beak and stylet morphometrics were also used to assess population
differentiation in conjunction with the genetic data. Genetic variation across all loci and all sampled populations was very
high (mean number alleles = 15, mean expected heterozygosity = 0.85). Microsatellites revealed significant genetic structuring
(overall F
ST = 0.024, p < 0.001), which did not fit an isolation-by-distance model of population differentiation. Divergence was observed between
Australian and NZ populations, between South Australia and north-east Tasmania, and between two relatively proximate Tasmanian
sites. South Australian and southern Tasmanian populations were genetically homogeneous, indicating a level of connectivity
on a scale of 1,500 km. Morphometric data also indicated significant differences between Australian and NZ populations. The
patterns of population structuring identified can be explained largely in relation to regional oceanographic features. 相似文献

Abstract: The endangered Hawaiian monk seal breeds at six locations in the northwestern Hawaiian Islands. To determine whether significant genetic differentiation exists among these sites, we used microsatellite loci to examine the monk seal population structure at the five largest breeding colonies. Of 27 loci isolated from other seal species, only 3 were polymorphic in an initial screening of one individual from each breeding site. Only two alleles were found at each of these 3 loci in samples of 46–108 individuals. This extremely low variation is consistent with other measures of genetic variability in this species and is probably the result of a recent severe population bottleneck, combined with a long-term history of small population sizes. Although the smallest monk seal subpopulation in this study ( Kure Atoll) showed some evidence of heterozygote deficit, possibly indicative of inbreeding, the next smallest ( Pearl and Hermes Reef) had an apparent excess of heterozygous individuals. Genetic differentiation was detected between the two subpopulations at extreme ends of the range ( Kure and French Frigate Shoals). This trend was significant only at the microsatellite locus for which we had the largest sample size ( Hg6.3: R ST = 0.206, p = 0.002; allelic goodness of fit G h = 15.412, p < 0.005). French Frigate Shoals is the source population for translocated animals that have been released primarily at Kure Atoll. Differentiation between these sites consisted of allele frequency differences (with the same allele predominant in each location at all three loci), rather than the preservation of alternative alleles. Although the translocations have had positive demographic effects, we recommend continued genetic monitoring of both the source and recipient populations because translocated individuals are now entering the breeding population. 相似文献

Population structure of the giant tiger prawn Penaeus monodon in Australian waters, determined using microsatellite markers 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
We describe three highly polymorphic microsatellite loci which have been isolated from the giant tiger prawn Penaeus monodon. The number of alleles present among 312 samples at the loci Pmo9, Pmo25 and Pmo27 were 84, 34 and 35, respectively, with
heterozygosities all >90%. Analyses of the distribution of length variation at three microsatellite loci among five Australian
P. monodon populations revealed strong differentiation between populations from the west and those from the northern and eastern coasts.
Tests for population differentiation (F
st) values and an analogous measure for microsatellite loci (R
st) all demonstrated that Western Australian P. monodon are a separate genetic stock which exhibits reduced genetic variation relative to the other populations. Reduced variability
is consistent with a recent population bottleneck or colonization by a small founding population from the east when sea links
between Indonesia, New Guinea and Australia were re-established following the last ice age. The results of this study are
in agreement with previous surveys of P. monodon conducted with allozymes and mtDNA.

The genetic population structure of red grouper, Epinephelus morio (Valenciennes), and scamp, Mycteroperca phenax Jordan and Swain, from the southeastern U.S. Atlantic coast and the Gulf of Mexico was examined using nuclear microsatellite DNA markers in order to test the null hypothesis of panmixia throughout this range. Physical and biological data indicate that relatively isolated populations of these fish exist. Genetic variation was assessed at four microsatellite loci in red grouper and six loci in scamp. The fish were collected on different dates between 1991 and 2001. The microsatellite loci were highly polymorphic, with an average expected heterozygosity of 0.75 in red grouper and 0.68 in scamp. Heterozygote deficiencies (significant deviations from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, HWE) were found at two of four loci in all red grouper samples except the eastern Gulf of Mexico, and for all red grouper combined. In contrast, all loci conformed to HWE in the separate scamp samples. Minimal genetic differences distinguished southeastern U.S. Atlantic or Mexican red grouper from other localities, and no indication of genetic differentiation was observed in scamp. This large-scale genetic homogeneity may be attributed to ongoing gene flow and/or historical contact between present-day populations. For management purposes, genetic homogeneity does not necessarily imply a single stock. Because larval dispersal may be sufficient to homogenize gene frequencies but not to replenish depleted stocks, other data must be considered in the management of these species.Electronic Supplementary Material Supplementary material is available in the online version of this article at .Communicated by J.P.

Genetic differentiation within the intertidal zone was examined in six populations of the asexually reproducing alga Enteromorpha linza growing in the Long Island Sound, USA. Four of the five populations sampled in 1981 showed significant differentiation between high and low intertidal positions with respect to the GOT-2 locus. The pattern of differentiation was consistent for samples collected at several times during the year with some seasonal modifications. Four additional polymorphic loci, resolved in 1982, identified a total of 13 five-locus genotypes or clones. Four of the six populations sampled in 1982 showed significant differences in clone frequency between high and low intertidal positions. Laboratory experiments revealed differences in response to temperature among the clones. At 24°C a high intertidal associated clone showed an increase in growth, while low intertidal associated clones showed decreased growth compared to growth at 15°C. These results suggest that the microgeographic differentiation observed for E. linza in the intertidal zone may in part be due to the differential adaptation of clones to different intertidal environments. Additional demographic information is needed for individual clones in order to determine the role longevity, reproductive output, recruitment and interclonal competition play in maintaining the observed differentiation. 相似文献

Although the genetic structure of many populations of marine organisms show little deviation from panmixia, in those marine species with limited larval dispersal, patterns of microgeographic genetic differentiation may be common. The octocoral Briareum asbestinum should show local population differentiation because colonies reproduce asexually by fragmentation, most matings occur between colonies in very close proximity, and the sexually produced larvae and sperm appear to disperse only short distances. Variability in secondary chemistry of individual B. asbestinum colonies from different populations in close proximity also suggests local population differentiation. We determined the genetic composition of local populations by surveying allozyme variation of three shallow and two deep populations within a 300 m2 area at San Salvador Island, Bahamas and at a site 161 km away on Little San Salvador, Bahamas in July 1990. As B. asbestinum occurs as either an erect branching form or an encrusting mat often at the same sites, we sampled both morphs to examine the extent of genetic exchange between them. Five of 21 loci were polymorphic and most populations showed a deficit of heterozygotes. Allele frequencies differed significantly between morphs at each site where they occurred together. The mean genetic distance (D=0.065) between morphs is consistent with the interpretation that the two morphs are genetically isolated. Despite the close spatial proximity of the San Salvador populations, both the branching and encrusting morphs showed significant genetic heterogeneity among neighboring populations. Similarly, pooled allelic frequencies for samples collected from the islands of San Salvador and Little San Salvador differed significantly at 1 locus for the branching morph and at 3 out of 5 loci for the encrusting morph. 相似文献

Vermilion snapper (Rhomboplites aurorubens) were collected from four sites off the Atlantic coast of the USA and one site in the Gulf of Mexico to evaluate effective
population size and genetic stock structure. Previous studies had suggested geographic variation in the ratio of males to
females, so this population characteristic was explored in conjunction with the genetic analysis. Sex ratio varied greatly
among the five sample sites; males comprised 57% of samples in the Gulf of Mexico, while within the South Atlantic Bight they
comprised between 36% (Morehead City, North Carolina) and 53% (Carolina Beach, North Carolina) of samples. No clear geographic
trends in the sex ratio emerged; instead, it was found to vary with fish length, the percentage of males decreasing with increasing
size. Allelic variation assessed at seven dinucleotide microsatellite loci was large; gene diversities ranged from 0.43 to
0.95 and allelic counts from 7 to 39. Estimates of the effective population size ranged from 24 500 (based on the infinite-alleles
model) to 150 500 (based on the stepwise-mutation model). There was evidence for excess homozygosity within samples: estimates
of F
IS
(the correlation of alleles within individuals) ranged from 0.01 to 0.03 among the seven loci, and three estimates were significantly
greater than zero. Differentiation among localities was very weak, as estimates of F
ST
(the correlation of alleles within populations) were on the order of 0.001 to 0.002 and genetic distance estimates between
localities were not related to geographic distances. This suggested that vermilion snapper in the South Atlantic Bight (Cape
Hatteras, North Carolina to Cape Canaveral, Florida) and Gulf of Mexico are likely to consist of one genetic stock. Despite
the overall homogeneity, there were indications of a temporally dynamic local structure that would bear further examination.

An allozyme survey, using starch-gel electrophoresis, was carried out on eight populations of the Antarctic nemertean worm
Parborlasia corrugatus (McIntosh, 1876) collected from locations around the South Orkney Islands, Antarctica. These populations were separated by
distances in the order of tens of kilometres. Genetic variation was estimated over 22 enzyme loci for all populations examined,
giving an observed heterozygosity of 0.142. This was much lower than the expected heterozygosity (H
e
= 0.201), and it was found that there was a significant deficiency of het‐erozygotes across four enzyme loci ( p ≤ 0.01). A more detailed examination of this deficiency of heterozygotes was undertaken for the six populations and six variable
enzyme loci for which the most complete data sets existed. A significant deficiency of heterozygotes was found at the enzyme
locus Odh-1 for four of the six populations examined ( p ≤ 0.01). Mean F
is
(0.240) indicated a significant ( p ≤ 0.01) within-population component of the heterozygote deficiency estimated for the six populations sampled, and this was
mainly due to the␣Ap-1, Odh-1 and Pgm-1 loci. The mean F
st
value (0.036) was also significant ( p ≤ 0.01), indicating a degree of genetic differentiation between populations. The observed levels of genetic differentiation
between populations of P. corrugatus and the significant heterozygote deficiencies were unexpected, because this species has been reported to have a long-lived
planktotrophic larva. It is hypothesised that recruitment of P. corrugatus in the South Orkney Islands originates from genetically distinct populations located in the Weddell Sea and to the west of
the Antarctic Peninsula. Shifts in the relative position of the Weddell Sea Front, Weddell–Scotia Confluence and Scotia Front,
relative to the South Orkney Islands, provide a mechanism for variation in the origin of recruits over time.

Many species of marine fish are typified by large population sizes, strong migratory behavior, high fecundity, and pelagic
eggs and larvae that are passively transported by ocean currents, all features that tend to increase gene flow, and hence
reduce genetic partitioning, among localized populations. The plaice, Pleuronectes platessa, is a commercially important demersal species that exhibits all of these characteristics. We analyzed genetic variation at
eight microsatellite loci in samples of spawning adults (N = 348) from the coasts of Ireland, Iceland, and, for the first time, from the Baltic Sea. Significant differentiation was
observed between Iceland and Irish and Baltic Sea samples. However, there were no genetic differences between Irish and Baltic
Sea samples, which contrast with the significant differentiation reported between Baltic Sea and North Sea/Atlantic populations
of other flatfish species. To increase the data set, we carried out a cross-calibration exercise, allowing us to perform a
joint analysis of data with an earlier study on adult and juvenile plaice (N = 480) collected over a broad geographic range, using six microsatellite loci in common to the two studies. Significant differentiation
was observed between fish collected at the northern (Iceland, Faeroes, Norway) and southern (Bay of Biscay) parts of the species
range. In contrast, the results showed little evidence of genetic structuring over much of the continental shelf of Europe.
We believe that bathymetric and hydrographic barriers are the major factors shaping genetic structure, while lack of structure
over much of the European continental shelf may be explained by a combination of past historical events, population structure,
and dynamics of the species. 相似文献

Genetic variability within the Cuban population of the white shrimp Litopenaeus schmitti (Burkenroad, 1936) was assessed using five microsatellite loci and samples collected from four sites (Batabanó, Cienfuegos, Tunas de Zaza, and Manzanillo) from November 1999 to March 2000. All loci were polymorphic, and a total of 80 alleles were found, 13 of them private alleles occurring only in a single population and always in low frequencies. The Cienfuegos sample had the highest observed heterozygosity (Ho=0.653), and the Tunas de Zaza sample had the lowest values (Ho=0.605), but there were no significant differences among samples in heterozygosity or in the mean numbers of alleles per locus (ranging from 11.0 to 11.6). Significant differentiation among populations was detected (FST=0.012, P<0.001). Low but significant FST values were revealed in pairwise comparisons between populations. Assignation tests correctly assigned high percentages of individuals to their original populations (74.5%) using a Bayesian approach. The significant differentiation among populations could be due to the restriction of gene flow among populations of L. schmitti and is concordant with previous allozyme studies on Cuban populations.Communicated by J.P.

Specimens of the deep-sea brittle-star Ophiomusium lymani were collected from six sites in the Rockall Trough (northeast Atlantic_. Four monomorphic and four polymorphic loci were detected, with up to 75 individuals screened at any one locus. The results showed little difference in allele frequencies between sites and, consequently, estimates of genetic identity indicated no significant genetic differentiation between the populations sampled. Deficits of heterozygotes were observed at all polymorphic loci, but the deficiencies were only significant at the phosphoglucose isomerase locus from two locations. The deficit of heterozygotes was not the same across loci, suggesting that inbreeding is not the cause of the excess homozygosity. No relationship between heterozygosity and depth was observed. 相似文献

The genetic relationships between morphologically indistinguishable marine and brackish-water populations of Monocelis lineata (O.F. Müller, 1774) (Proseriata: Monocelididae) were analysed by means of allozyme electrophoresis. Fifteen samples of M. lineata (13 from the Mediterranean and two from the Atlantic) from coastal marine and brackish-water habitats were examined for variation at 18 loci. Eleven loci were polymorphic in at least one population of M. lineata. Low levels of within-population genetic variability were found, with average observed and expected heterozygosity values ranging from Ho=0.015±0.015 to 0.113±0.044, and from
He=0.028±0.028 to 0.138±0.054, respectively. The occurrence of a number of private alleles indicated a marked genetic divergence among populations of M. lineata, with Rogers genetic distances ranging from
DR=0.003 to 0.676 and a highly significant FST value (0.918±0.012, P<0.001). UPGMA (unweighted pair-group method using arithmetic average) cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling showed a clear genetic divergence between marine and brackish-water populations. Moreover, Atlantic and Mediterranean populations were sharply separated. Our results suggest that M. lineata is a complex of sibling species.Communicated by R. Cattaneo-Vietti, Genova 相似文献

Gene flow between populations of the asteroid Linckia laevigata (Linnaeus) was investigated by examining over 1000 individuals collected from ten reefs throughout the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), Australia, for genetic variation at seven polymorphic enzyme loci. Despite geographic separations in excess of 1000 km, Nei's unbiased genetic distance (0 to 0.003) and standardised genetic variation between populations (F
ST) values (mean 0.0011) were small and not significant. Genetic homogeneity among L. laevigata populations is consistent with the long-distance dispersal capability of its 28 d planktonic larval phase, and is greater than that observed for other asteroid species, including another high-dispersal species, Acanthaster planci, which has a 14 d larval phase. Variation within populations was also higher than previously recorded for asteroids (mean heterozygosity=0.384; number of alleles per locus ranged from 5.1 to 6.0 in each population). Among asteroids, dispersal ability is positively correlated with gene flow and levels of variation, and negatively correlated with levels of differentiation. 相似文献
