Urmia Lake, with a surface area between 4000 to 6000 km2, is hypersaline lake located in northwest Iran. It the saltiest large world that supports life. Lake National Park home of an almost endemic crustacean species known as brine shrimp, Artemia urmiana. Other forms life include several algae, bacteria, microfungi, plants, birds, reptiles, amphibians and mammals. As consequence this unique biodiversity, has been selected one 59 biosphere reserves by UNESCO. This paper provides...
Abstract Species of Artemia are regionally endemic branchiopod crustaceans composed sexual species and parthenogenetic lineages, represent an excellent model for studying adaptation speciation to extreme heterogeneous hypersaline environments. We tested hypotheses whether populations from the Tibetan Plateau belong A. tibetianaAbatzopoulos, Zhang & Sorgeloos,1998 a population Kazakhstan is new species, using other Asian as outgroups. conducted multitrait phylogenetic study based on...
Abstract Apis mellifera capensis Eschscholtz and A . m scutellata Lepeletier are subspecies of western honey bees that indigenous to the Republic South Africa (RSA). Both have invasive potential organisms concern for areas outside their native range, though they important beekeepers, agriculture, environment where native. The aim present study was examine genetic differentiation among these estimate phylogenetic relationships using complete mitochondrial genomes sequences. We used 25...
Using two nuclear ( ITS 1 and Na + /K ATP ase ) three mitochondrial COI , 16S 12S markers, we determined the genetic variation evolutionary relationship of parthenogenetic bisexual Artemia . Our analyses revealed that genes had higher than showed more variety other in populations. Triploid parthenogens lower diploid ones, whereas tetra‐ pentaploids greater distance parthenogens. No shared haplotype was found between individuals populations Asian species with exception tibetiana ). Only...
The brine shrimp Artemia represents a widespread genus of microcrustaceans adapted to hypersaline environments.The species this have been the subject numerous phylogenetic studies, but many open questions remain, especially for Eurasian lineages.Artemia sinica Cai, 1989 and tibetiana restricted geographical distribution, whereas haplotype complex (EHC) urmiana Günther, 1899 show wider ranges.We examined geographic evolutionary age, historical demography Asian lineages (A.urmiana, A. sinica,...
Apis mellifera scutellata and A.m. capensis (the Cape honey bee) are western bee subspecies indigenous to the Republic of South Africa (RSA). Both bees important for biological economic reasons. First, is invasive "African bee" Americas exhibits a number traits that beekeepers consider undesirable. They swarm excessively, prone absconding (vacating nest entirely), usurp other colonies, exhibit heightened defensiveness. Second, socially parasitic bees; workers can reproduce thelytokously....
Native American Artemia franciscana has become an introduced species in the Old World due to rapid development of aquaculture industry Eurasia. The recent colonisation A. Mediterranean regions and Asia been well documented, but Australia is a continent where dispersal this not understood. In present study, we sequenced cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) examined phylogenetic relationships, haplotype network population genetic structure from four geographical localities two native localities....
Urmia Lake, the largest natural habitat of brine shrimp Artemia urmiana , has progressively desiccated over last two decades, resulting in a loss 80% its surface area and producing thousands hectares arid salty land. This ecological crisis seriously affected lake’s native biodiversity. lost more than 90% population during decade from 1994 (rainy period) to 2004 (drought due salinity increasing saturation levels (∼300 g/l). We studied influence this on genetic diversity A. based one cyst...
We characterized the complete mitogenome sequence of Cape honey bee, Apis mellifera capensis, from South Africa. The circle genome is 16,470 bp in length, with base composition 43.2% A, 9.6% C, 5.6% G, and 41.5% T. assembled has 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNA genes, one control region. All are initiated by ATT, ATC, ATG or ATA codons terminated typical stop codon TAA. heavy strand encodes four eight tRNAs, rRNAs. light nine 14 tRNAs. A.m. capensis...
Urmia Lake is one of the two large hypersaline lakes in world which have Artemia. It located northwest Iran. Due to a decrease water inflow and volume, salinity has reached more than 300 g.l -1 since 2001. The increased greatly influenced biological aspects lake, caused lake undergoes at critical conduction. aim present study was investigate distribution fluctuations phytoplanktons selected physicochemical factors relation Artemia during 8 months. Statistical analysis mean values ion...
The complete mitochondrial genome of the western honey bee subspecies Apis mellifera meda was sequenced. This is 16,248 bp in length, with 37 classical eukaryotic genes and an A + T-rich region. Gene direction arrangement are similar to those other mitogenomes. All initiate ATT (six genes), ATG (four ATA (two ATC (one gene) start codons terminate a TAA stop codon. Four encoded on heavy nine light strands, respectively. 22 tRNA genes, ranging from 66 78 bp, have typical cloverleaf structure....
The complete mitochondrial genome of the western honey bee subspecies Apis mellifera lamarckii was sequenced. This is 16,589 bp in length with 37 classical eukaryotic genes and an A + T-rich region. Gene directions arrangements are similar to those other mitogenomes. Seven begin ATT, four ATG, two ATA (none ATC) all terminate TAA. Four encoded on heavy strand nine light strand. All 22 tRNA genes, ranging from 66 80 bp, have a typical cloverleaf structure. phylogenetic tree showed that A.m....
Abstract The taxonomic identity of an unknown Artemia population inhabiting the Al Wathba Wetland Reserve in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E., was determined using phylogenetic analysis mitochondrial marker Cytochrome Oxidase Subunit 1 ( COI ). results showed that examined belongs to exotic invasive species, franciscana . Based on distribution pattern haplotypes, studied could possibly have originated from Great Salt Lake (Utah, U.S.A.).
Due to the rapid developments in aquaculture industry, Artemia franciscana, originally an American species, has been introduced Eurasia, Africa and Australia. In present study, we used a partial sequence of mitochondrial DNA Cytochrome Oxidase subunit I (mt-DNA COI) gene genomic fingerprinting by Inter-Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSRs) determine genetic variability population structure populations (indigenous introduced) from 14 different geographical locations Western Asia. Based on haplotype...
Urmia Lake, an endorheic salt lake in northwestern Iran, was registered the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands as a wetland of international importance, also UNESCO biosphere reserve. In this review, we have updated our last checklist 2014 with available information biodiversity lake.
The complete mitochondrial genome of Apis mellifera simensis was 16,523 bp long. 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNAs, and 22 tRNAs resembled other mitogenomes. location this subspecies in our phylogenetic tree supported the hypothesis that is distinct, most closely related to A. m. scutellata monticola.
The complete mitochondrial genome of Artemia sinica was obtained using the next-generation sequencing (NGS) method. is a circular molecule 15,689 bp in length, with typical structure 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNAs) and 2 ribosomal genes, non-coding control region (CR). base composition 31.53% A, 18.99% C, 16.50% G, 32.98% T, an A + T content 64.51%. All tRNAs have cloverleaf excepting tRNA-Ser1, that represents D-loop structure.
In the previously published mitochondrial genome sequence of Artemia urmiana (NC_021382 [JQ975176]), taxonomic status examined had not been determined, due to parthenogenetic populations coexisting with A. in Urmia Lake. Additionally, NC_021382 [JQ975176] has obtained pooled cysts (0.25 g consists 20,000–25,000 cysts), a single specimen. With regard Lake, and intra- inter-specific variations samples, cannot be recommended as valid any attempt attribute it or population is unreasonable. aid...
