Abstract This article documents the addition of 83 microsatellite marker loci and 96 pairs single‐nucleotide polymorphism ( SNP ) sequencing primers to Molecular Ecology Resources Database. Loci were developed for following species: Bembidion lampros, Inimicus japonicus, Lymnaea stagnalis, Panopea abbreviata, Pentadesma butyracea, Sycoscapter hirticola Thanatephorus cucumeris anamorph : Rhizoctonia solani) . These cross‐tested on grandifolia reyndersii also primer 88 allele‐specific or...
Oceanographic features such as currents, waves, temperature and salinity, together with life history traits, control patterns rates of gene flow contribute to shaping the population genetic structure marine organisms. Seascape genetics is an emerging discipline that adopts a spatially explicit approach examine biotic abiotic factors drive in environments. In this study, we examined differentiation two coastal Mediterranean gastropods whose geographical ranges overlap but which inhabit...
In the present study we used high-throughput sequencing technology Illumina MiSeq to develop 26 polymorphic microsatellite loci for marine snail Gibbula divaricata. Four 32 alleles were detected per locus across 30 samples analyzed. Observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.130 0.933 0.294 0.956, respectively. No significant linkage disequilibrium existed. Seven deviated Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium that could not totally be explained by presence of null alleles. Sympatric...
Genetic connectivity studies are essential to understand species diversity and genetic structure assess the role of potential factors affecting connectivity, thus enabling sound management conservation strategies. Here, we analysed patterns variability in marine snail Gibbula divaricata from five coastal locations Adriatic Sea (central Mediterranean) one adjacent northern Ionian Sea, using 21 previously described polymorphic microsatellite loci. Observed expected heterozygosity varied...
Three species of the genus Asterina are known to inhabit Mediterranean Sea and north-eastern Atlantic Ocean: gibbosa (Pennant, 1777), A. pancerii (Gasco, 1870) phylactica Emson & Crump, 1979. Differentiation these has primarily been based only on subtle characters (some highly debatable), such as colour or size. Therefore, this study aimed review morphological data characterising members genus, incorporate new that may clarify analyses couple with molecular evidence differentiation...
Abstract Declines in Panulirus echinatus Smith, 1869 populations along their wide distribution the Atlantic Ocean have spurred efforts to improve fisheries management and conservation. In this study, genetic structure of these is reported for first time. a survey 18 species‐specific polymorphic microsatellite markers, 152 individuals were genotyped from five oceanic islands, covering most insular range species. The analyses revealed that P. genetically partitioned into two stocks Ocean. A...
Population connectivity studies are a useful tool for species management and conservation planning, particular of highly threatened or endangered species. Here, we evaluated the genetic structure pattern coral Cladocora caespitosa across its entire distribution range in Mediterranean Sea. Additionally, examined relative importance sexual asexual reproduction studied populations their diversity. A total 541 individuals from 20 localities were sampled analysed with 19 polymorphic...
The population genetics of Patella ferruginea Gmelin, 1791, an endangered limpet endemic to the western Mediterranean, has been analysed using 11 polymorphic microsatellite markers on 533 individuals from 18 localities throughout its distribution area. results showed a deficit heterozygotes, denoting certain degree inbreeding, and, with overall FST 0.004, low level genetic variability among localities. These data indicate that species is distributed as metapopulation (an assemblage discrete...
