We consider that an Rb system exists in Peloponnisos, southern Greece, distributed in an area that is substantially larger than previously known. It consists of at least three Rb races with 2n = 30, 2n = 24 and 2n = 28, respectively, the last being reported for the first time in this paper and carrying Rb(3.6), Rb(8.12), Rb(10.14), Rb(13.15), Rb(9.16) and Rb(11.17) in a homozygous state. Additional instances of variation in this Rb system include individuals with 2n = 31 and 32 of variable Rb constitution and hybrids between the Rb races with 2n = 30 and 2n = 24. In southern Peloponnisos, Rb(10.14) was found in either a homozygous or a heterozygous state (2n = 38 or 39). The relationships among the Rb populations of Peloponnisos are discussed and hypotheses for their evolution are proposed. Rb variation was also recorded in two new locations of eastern Sterea Ellas (2n = 28 and 29) and one in Ipiros, north-west Greece (2n = 38). These findings corroborate the existence of two separate Rb systems in those two areas. Moreover, among a number of islands surveyed, Rb variation was only found in Kythira island, with Rb(10.14) in a heterozygous state (2n = 39). Finally, the typical all-acrocentric karyotype (2n = 40) was found in 51 of the animals studied from 13 localities. {\textcopyright} 2005 The Linnean Society of London.}, keywords = {Chromosomal speciation, Contact zones, evolution, House mouse, hybridization, Mammalia, Monobrachial homology, Robertsonian fusion, Robertsonian race, Robertsonian system}, author = {Mitsainas, G.P. and Giagia-Athanasopoulou, E.B.} } @article {11581, title = {Benefits of cooperation with genetic kin in a subsocial spider}, journal = {Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of AmericaProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America}, volume = {105}, number = {31}, year = {2008}, note = {00278424 (ISSN)Cited By (since 1996): 6Export Date: 8 November 2011Source: ScopusCODEN: PNASAdoi: 10.1073/pnas.0804126105PubMed ID: 18658236Language of Original Document: EnglishCorrespondence Address: Schneider, J.

Kin selection is one mechanism by which such dilemmas can be resolved This is because selfish acts toward relatives include the cost of lowering indirect fitness benefits that could otherwise be achieved through the propagation of shared genes. Kin selection theory has been proved to be of general importance for the origin of cooperative behaviors, but other driving forces, such as direct fitness benefits, can also promote helping behavior in many cooperatively breeding taxa. Investigating transitional systems is therefore particularly suitable for understanding the influence of kin selection on the initial spread of cooperative behaviors. Here we investigated the role of kinship in cooperative feeding. We used a cross-fostering design to control for genetic relatedness and group membership. Our study animal was the periodic social spider Stegodyphus lineatus, a transitional species that belongs to a genus containing both permanent social and periodic social species. In S. lineatus, the young cooperate in prey capture and feed communally. We provide clear experimental evidence for net benefits of cooperating with kin. Genetic relatedness within groups and not association with familiar individuals directly improved feeding efficiency and growth rates, demonstrating a positive effect of kin cooperation. Hence, in communally feeding spiders, nepotism favors group retention and reduces the conflict between selfish interests and the interests of the group.

This variation suggests that social interactions between queens and workers, opportunities for worker oviposition, and patterns of relatedness among nest mates may vary considerably, both within and among regions. In this study, we used three microsatellite loci with 12-18 alleles each to examine the sociogenetic structure of colonies from a population at Agios Nikolaos Monemvasias in southern Greece. These analyses reveal that the majority of colonies exhibit classical eusocial colony structure in which a single queen mated to a single male monopolizes oviposition. Nevertheless, we also detect low rates of multiqueen nest founding, occasional caste switching by worker-destined females, and worker oviposition of both gyne and male-producing eggs in the final brood. Previous evidence that the majority of workers show some ovarian development and a minority (17\%) have at least one large oocyte contrasts with the observation that only 2-3\% of gynes and males (the so-called reproductive brood) are produced by workers. An evaluation of the parameters of Hamilton{\textquoteright}s Rule suggests that queens benefit greatly from the help provided by workers but that workers achieve greater fitness by provisioning and laying their own eggs rather than by tending to the queen{\textquoteright}s eggs. This conflict of interest between the queen and her workers suggests that the discrepancy between potential and achieved worker oviposition is due to queen interference. Comparison of relatedness and maternity patterns in the Agios Nikolaos Monemvasias population with those from a northern population near Tubingen, Germany, points to a north-south cline of increasingly effective queen control of worker behaviour.}, keywords = {behavior, caste determination, dialictus zephyrum hymenoptera, evolution, Halictidae, halictus-rubicundus hymenoptera, Hymenoptera, kin selection, lasioglossum-malachurum hymenoptera, ligatus, ontogenic patterns, organization, parental manipulation, sex-ratio, Social evolution, Worker reproduction}, author = {Richards, M.

We analysed patterns of genetic diversity in six codistributed lineages of darkling beetles (Tenebrionidae) in the central Aegean archipelago which differ in wing development and habitat preferences. A total of 600 specimens from 30 islands and eight adjacent mainland regions were sequenced for mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I and nuclear Muscular protein 20. Individual gene genealogies were assessed for the presence of groups that obey an independent coalescent process using a mixed Yule coalescent model. The six focal taxa differed greatly in the number of coalescent groups and depth of lineage subdivision, which was closely mirrored by the degree of geographical structuring. The most severe subdivision at both mitochondrial DNA and nuclear DNA level was found in flightless lineages associated with presumed stable compact-soil habitats (phrygana, maquis), in contrast to sand-obligate lineages inhabiting ephemeral coastal areas that displayed greater homogeneity across the archipelago. A winged lineage, although associated with stable habitats, showed no significant phylogenetic or geographical structuring. Patterns of nucleotide diversity and local genetic differentiation, as measured using Phi(ST) and hierarchical amova, were consistent with high levels of ongoing gene flow in the winged taxon; frequent local extinction and island recolonisation for flightless sand-obligate taxa; and very low gene flow and geographical structure largely defined by the palaeogeographical history of the region in flightless compact-soil taxa. These results show that differences in dispersal rate, mediated by habitat persistence, greatly influence the levels of phylogeographical subdivision in lineages that are otherwise subjected to the same geological events and palaeoclimatic changes.}, keywords = {Aegean islands, BIOGEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS, canary-islands, Coleoptera, comparative phylogeography, dispersal, evolution, Genetic differentiation, habitat, HAPLOTYPE RECONSTRUCTION, ISLANDS GREECE, maximum-likelihood, Molecular Phylogeny , PERSISTENCE, POPULATION SIZES, tenebrionidae}, isbn = {0962-1083}, author = {Papadopoulou, A. and Anastasiou, I. and Keskin, B. and Vogler, A.

In this study we analysed the phylogeny within the genus Dolichopoda using parts of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I and 16S ribosomal genes, and explored biogeographic patterns through a dispersal-vicariance analysis (DIVA). Phylogenetic analyses grouped the 15 species into the four geographically restricted main lineages corresponding to the Caucasus, Greece, the Pyrenees and Italy, respectively. The species occur largely in allopatry. The Caucasian and Greek species were basal in the phylogeny, as was the clade including the nine Italian species, which grouped into two major lineages, one mainly including species from western Italian coastal regions and islands, and the other including species with a predominantly inland distribution. Thus it seems likely that there have been two main immigrations into Italy followed by multiple consecutive speciation events. The DIVA analysis supported the assumption of an east-west migration route, and indicated that there have been four major dispersal events. Since the statistical support for the basal node connecting D. remyi and D. hussoni with the west Mediterranean species is low, alternative interpretations for the colonization of the Mediterranean, namely parallel colonization of the main areas of the current Dolichopoda distribution, i.e. the Caucasus, Greece, Italy, and the Pyrenees is also possible. Particular emphasis was put on the D. geniculata-laetitiae species complex. D. geniculata included several recently diverged lineages and constitutes a paraphyletic species complex, also embracing the closely related D. laetitiae.}, keywords = {ALIGNMENT, biogeography, evolution, GENETIC-STRUCTURE, GEOGRAPHIC-VARIATION, hybridization, phylogenetic analysis, polymorphism, populations, RHAPHIDOPHORIDAE, sequence}, isbn = {0018-0661}, author = {Martinsen, L. and Venanzetti, F. and Bachmann, L.} } @article {7789, title = {Increased genetic diversity in Greek populations of the genus Ligidium (Crustacea : Isopoda : Oniscidea) revealed by RFLP analysis of mtDNA segments}, journal = {Contributions to ZoologyContributions to Zoology}, volume = {74}, number = {3-4}, year = {2005}, note = {Times Cited: 0ArticleEnglishCited References Count: 32043fh}, pages = {255-264}, abstract = {We investigated rntDNA genetic differentiation and the phylogenetic relationships of 11 populations of the oniscidean genus Ligidium.

Materials and Methods: The analyzed material comes from epigean habitats scattered over the southern part of the island of Crete, Greece. Results: A thorough analysis showed that Ernstmayria apostolostrichasi n. gen., n. sp., originated in the proto-Balkan region; its present distribution corresponds to at least a part of its primordial area (and habitat). The new pseudoscorpion belongs to the most ancient arthropods whose closely related species are to be sought among extinct and/or fossil forms. Conclusions: Since Ernstamyria was found at the {\guillemotright}peripheral{\guillemotleft} location of the ancient Aegeis, it is evident that this {\guillemotright}living fossil{\guillemotleft} and its remote ancestor gave birth to a number of recent genera which presently constitute two groups inhabiting the Mediterranean region: Neobisium Chamberlin-Neoccitanobisium Callaini-Roncobisium Vachon-Protoneobisium C?urc?ic?-Pennobisium C?urc?ic?, on the one hand, and: Acanthocreagris Mahnert-Balkanoroncus C?urc?ic?- Insulocreagris C?urc?ic?-Roncocreagris Mahnert, on the other.}, keywords = {biogeography, Crete, Ernstmayria, evolution, New genus, phylogeny, Pseudoscorpions, Relicts, Systematic zoology}, author = {Curcic, B.P.M. and Dimitrijevic, R.N. and Legakis, A. and Makarov, S.E. and Tomic, V.T. and Curcic, S.B. and Mitic, B.M. and Lucic, L.R.} } @article {4183, title = {Taxonomic studies of the Balkan Reicheina (Coleoptera : Carabidae : Clivinini), with a review of the Albanian species}, journal = {ZootaxaZootaxaZootaxa}, number = {1679}, year = {2008}, note = {ISI Document Delivery No.: 250EATimes Cited: 0Cited Reference Count: 19}, month = {Jan}, pages = {39-53}, type = {Article}, abstract = {The Albanian species of the subtribe Reicheina Jeannel, 1957 are studied.

Complete sequences of mtDNA cytochrome C oxidase I gene were obtained from 26 individuals. Mean levels of interspecific sequence divergence ranged from 0.044 to 0.186. The results indicate a clear-cut distinction between two clades. The first one includes the W-European O. eremita Scopoli 1763; and the two Italian endemic taxa Osmoderma italicum Sparacio, 2000 and Osmoderma cristinae Sparacio, 1994; from southern peninsular Italy and Sicily, respectively. The second one includes the widespread E-European Osmoderma barnabita; and the southern Balcanic Osmoderma lassalleiBaraud and Tauzin, 1991 from Greece and European Turkey. Within the two clades, molecular and morphological data well support a specific rank for O. lassallei and O. barnabita on one side, and for O. eremita and O. cristinae on the other side, while the taxonomic position of O. italicum, more closely related to O. eremita, is still uncertain. Current geographical distribution, interspecific genetic diversification, and very low levels of intraspecific genetic divergence in western European populations of O. eremita sensu stricto are hypothesized to be the result of multiple speciation events (mainly occurred in refugial forest areas of the Italian and Balkan peninsulas and Sicily before and during the Pleistocene glacial peaks), followed by fast post-glacial northward and westward expansion of some species.}, keywords = {Coleoptera, cytochrome C oxidase I gene, CYTOCHROME-OXIDASE I, DUNG BEETLES, evolution, GENERIC NAMES, GNORIMUS LE PELETIER, MITOCHONDRIAL-DNA, molecular taxonomy, Osmoderma, PHYLOGENETIC-RELATIONSHIPS, PROPOSED CONSERVATION, SAINT-FARGEAU, Sibling species, threatened species, TREE HOLLOWS}, isbn = {0947-5745}, author = {Audisio, P. and Brustel, H. and Carpaneto, G.
