We present evidence that the heritable genetic variation within individual species, especially dominant and keystone has community ecosystem consequences. These consequences represent extended phenotypes, i.e., effects of genes at levels higher than population. Using diverse examples from microbes to vertebrates, we demonstrate phenotype can be traced individuals possessing trait, community, processes such as leaf litter decomposition N mineralization. In our development a genetics...
Abstract We report the first detailed genetic linkage map of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). The segregation analysis was performed using 76 doubled haploid produced by androgenesis from a hybrid between “OSU” and “Arlee” androgenetically derived homozygous lines. Four hundred seventy-six markers segregated into 31 major groups 11 small (<5 markers/group). minimum genome size is estimated to be 2627.5 cM in length. sex-determining locus distal position on one groups. analyzed...
Summary Androgenetic doubled haploid progeny produced from a cross between the Oregon State University and Arlee clonal rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) lines, used for previous published map, were to update map with addition of more amplified fragment length polymorphic (AFLP) markers, microsatellites, type I allozyme markers. We have added than 900 bringing total number 1359 genetic markers sex phenotype including 799 Eco RI AFLPs, 174 Pst 226 72 VNTR, 38 SINE 29 known genes, 12...
The architecture of the MHC in teleost fish, which display a lack linkage between class I and II genes, differs from all other vertebrates. Because rainbow trout have been examined for variety immunologically relevant they present good model examining both expression organization MHC-related genes. Full-length cDNA partial gDNA clones proteasome delta, low molecular mass polypeptide (LMP) 2, TAP1, TAP2A, TAP2B, Ia, IIB were isolated this study. Aside expected polymorphisms associated with...
Homozygous and hybrid clonal lines of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were confirmed to be isogenic using multilocus DNA fingerprinting. clones produced by androgenesis gynogenesis gametes from androgenetic male female trout, respectively. Isogenic F1 crossing homozygous fish different strains. One line showed segregation for maternally inherited fingerprint markers. The this cross, the only presumptive gynogenetic individual used in study, was thought have been followed blockage first...
Abstract While population genetic diversity has broad application in species conservation, no studies have examined the community‐level consequences of this diversity. We show that (generated by interspecific hybridization) a dominant riparian tree affects an arthropod community composed 207 species. In experimental garden, plant cross type structured individual trees, and among stands wild, accounted for nearly 60% variation previous garden demonstrated effects genotype on communities, our...
Next-generation sequencing data can be mined for highly informative single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to develop high-throughput genomic assays nonmodel organisms. However, choosing a set of SNPs address variety objectives difficult because are often not equally informative. We developed an optimal combination 96 SNP from total 4439 identified in previous study Pacific lamprey (Entosphenus tridentatus) and used them four disparate objectives: parentage analysis, species identification...
Abstract Interspecific hybridization represents a dynamic evolutionary phenomenon and major conservation problem in salmonid fishes. In this study we used amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP) mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) markers to describe the extent characterize pattern of introgression between coastal rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss irideus ) cutthroat O. clarki ). Hybrid individuals were initially identified using principle coordinate analysis 133 polymorphic AFLP markers....
Abstract With the emerging field of community genetics, it is important to quantify key mechanisms that link genetics and structure. We studied cottonwoods in common gardens natural stands examined potential for plant chemistry be a primary mechanism linking arthropod communities. If drives relationship between structure, then several predictions followed. would find (i) strongest correlation genetic composition chemical composition; (ii) an intermediate (iii) weakest composition. Our...
Objective To examine trends in adolescent mental health presentations to Christchurch Emergency Department (ED) and contribute the limited data on long-term within New Zealand. Method A retrospective observational study of by adolescents aged 10–17 years ED over 2007–2022. Data patient demographics, rates frequent presenters (≥5 a calendar year) hospital admissions were analysed using simple descriptive statistics. Results Rates increased 289% 16 years, while all-cause 9.8%. Female five-fold...
Most fish species show little morphological differentiation in the sex chromosomes. We have coupled molecular and cytogenetic analyses to characterize male-determining region of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) Y chromosome. Four genetically diverse male clonal lines this were used for genetic physical mapping regions vicinity locus. Five markers mapped chromosome these lines, indicating that locus was located on same linkage group each lines. also confirmed presence a polymorphism among...
