This Collective Article presents information on 22 species belonging to 5 Phyla, arranged geographically from west east. The new records were found in 8 countries as follows: Spain: first record of the two scarcely known nemerteans Baseodiscus delineatus and Notospermus geniculatus Formentera; Malta: second alien fish Lagocephalus sceleratus; Italy: polychaete Syllis pectinans isopod Paranthura japonica, well cryptogenic opisthobranch Anteaeolidiella lurana, fouling assemblages along docks...
This article documents the addition of 238 microsatellite marker loci and 72 pairs Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) sequencing primers to Molecular Ecology Resources Database. Loci were developed for following species: Adelges tsugae, Artemisia tridentata, Astroides calycularis, Azorella selago, Botryllus schlosseri, Botrylloides violaceus, Cardiocrinum cordatum var. glehnii, Campylopterus curvipennis, Colocasia esculenta, Cynomys ludovicianus, leucurus, gunnisoni, Epinephelus coioides,...
Direct observations of sex change were made on the endangered limpet Patella ferruginea in Chafarinas Islands (Alboran Sea) between 2006 and 2011. Individuals species sexed tagged during spawning season for subsequent monitoring to determine possible changes. Mortality was minimized by following a carefully designed sexing protocol. Out 49 specimens (41–88 mm size) that could be successive years (28 males 21 females), 16 changed into females consecutive (50.0% smaller than 70 100% larger...
Cladocora caespitosa is a reef-building zooxanthellate scleractinian coral in the Mediterranean Sea. Mortality events have recurrently affected this species during last decade. Thus, knowledge of its genetic structure, population diversity, and connectivity needed to accomplish suitable conservation plans. In order obtain better understanding genetics species, 13 highly variable microsatellites markers were developed from naturally bleached colony. The primers failed amplify zooxanthella...
Reptiles are the animals with most described coccidian species among all vertebrates. However, co‐evolutionary relationships in this host–parasite system have been scarcely studied. Paperna & Landsberg ( South African Journal of Zoology , 24, 1989, 345) proposed independent evolutionary origin Eimeria ‐like isolated from reptiles based on morphological and developmental characteristics their oocysts. Accordingly, they suggested reclassification these parasites two new genera,...
We describe nine polymorphic tetranucleotide microsatellite loci from the starfish, Asterina gibbosa. Loci were isolated a partial genomic library that had been enriched for AAAC repeat sequences. Number of alleles per locus ranged two to 14 in sample 85 individuals three populations (two Spain and one UK). Observed expected heterozygosities population 0.000 0.400 0.040 0.784, respectively. All presented significant heterozygote deficits or more populations. Eight these amplified variable A....
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...
Using high-throughput sequencing technology 17 polymorphic microsatellites with perfect tetra-nucleotide repeats were identified for the brown spiny lobster Panulirus echinatus Smith, 1869. Two to ten alleles detected per locus across 30 samples analysed from Canary Archipelago. Observed and expected heterozygosities ranged between 0.100 0.867 0.095 0.799, respectively. No significant linkage disequilibrium was found pairs of loci, only one (Pe-L43) deviated Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium,...
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...
Several molecular studies have been conducted on northeastern Atlantic and Mediterranean patellid limpets, but Algerian specimens never included in these studies.This work intends to fill this gap characterize populations of different Patella species inhabiting the coasts Oran, clarifying presence ferruginea that is considered as endangered.Moreover, comparison their intraspecific variation with other areas might enlighten about connectivity conservation status analysed species.The analyses...
La dermatofitosis es una enfermedad que afecta la piel, evidenciándose en el crecimiento de hongos múltiples partes del cuerpo, generalmente las mayor exposición. En última década se ha encontrado esta propagado grandes proporciones, afectando principalmente los pobladores Ciénaga Virgen, por elevada humedad y altas temperaturas. ese contexto, investigación pretende identificar propiedades antioxidantes anti-micóticas tiene planta Cassia Fistula (Cañandonga) para prevenir propagación hongo...
Abstract Heterozygosity affects mate selection and can modulate interactions among family members their fitness-related decisions. We studied whether nestling heterozygosity affected parent–offspring sib–sib competition in the Blue Tit (Cyanistes caeruleus) while controlling for degree of relatedness nestlings. Demanding environmental conditions might make detection heterozygosity-fitness correlations easier. Thus, we also investigated decision rules according to offspring were by brood...
