We used mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence data and allele frequencies at eight microsatellite loci to examine the population genetic structure, estimate divergence times of distinct lineages, infer patterns associated with host colonization in populations bark beetle Dendroctonus approximatus Mexico. Two haplotype groups were identified using mtDNA sequences 71 individuals from 15 populations. The first group was distributed Sierra Madre Occidental (SMOc, Western Mexico), some Faja...
Abstract Premise The mechanisms generating the geographical distributions of genetic diversity are a central theme in evolutionary biology. amount and its distribution controlled by several factors, including dispersal abilities, physical barriers, environmental climatic changes. We investigated patterns differentiation among populations widespread species Brosimum alicastrum Mexico. Methods Using nuclear DNA microsatellite data, we tested whether structure B. was associated with roles...
Abstract Background: Genetic diversity is needed to preserve the capability of a species survive environmental changes. Due presence small isolated populations, relict such as Magnolia are at an elevated extinction risk. In recent years, many new have been described in Mexico, each one classified by its category To achieve conservation, knowledge their basic level biological essential design adequate conservation plans and avoid negative consequences genetic loss. Here, we implemented...
