Its populations have become fragmented and undergone major declines in recent decades. To study genetic differences between populations across the range and change in genetic diversity over time, we sequenced a portion of the mitochondrial DNA control region from 67 museum specimens (years 1861-1976) as well as 39 contemporary samples from Spain and seven from Greece (years 1992-2003). In the historical sample, we found a lack of significant genetic structure between populations in different areas. We found evidence that the species experienced a rapid expansion in the past, perhaps from glacial refugia centred around the Mediterranean following the last ice age. In Spain, the population went through a dramatic bottleneck in the 1970s and early 1980s, when only a few dozens individuals remained in the wild. Although population size has since recovered to a few thousand individuals, we found a highly significant loss of mitochondrial haplotype diversity between the historical and contemporary samples. Given ongoing declines in other areas, losses in genetic diversity that may reduce the adaptive potential of white-headed ducks in the future are a continuing concern throughout the geographic range of this species. {\textcopyright} Springer 2006.}, keywords = {Aves, Bottleneck, mtDNA, museum specimens, Oxyura, phylogeography, waterfowl, White-Headed Duck}, author = {Mu{\~n}oz-Fuentes, V. and Green, A.J. and Negro, J.J. and Sorenson, M.D.} } @article {15663, title = {Intraspecific variation within Phlebotomus sergenti Parrot (1917) (Diptera : Psychodidae) based on mtDNA sequences in Islamic Republic of Iran}, journal = {Acta TropicaActa TropicaActa Tropica}, volume = {102}, number = {1}, year = {2007}, note = {ISI Document Delivery No.: 186JGTimes Cited: 18Cited Reference Count: 16}, month = {Apr}, pages = {29-37}, type = {Article}, abstract = {An intraspecific study on the morphological and molecular characteristics of Phlebotomus sergenti s.l., the main vector of Leishmania tropica, was performed on 28 Iranian populations from 1 I provinces and a few samples from Greece, Morocco, Lebanon. Turkey. Pakistan, and Syria. Three morphotypes were identified as A, B and C, with some intermediate forms in the samples under investigation. Based on the number of setae and the width of basal lobe of coxite, differences between A and B morphotypes were highly significant. Excluding one unusual haplotype, sequence analysis of similar to 439 by of mtDNA (a fragment of cytochromeB gene, tRNA for serine gene, and a fragment of NADH1 gene) revealed a 6-7\% genetic distance within the Iranian populations and among the specimens of other countries. Neighbor-Joining (NJ) analysis confirmed the existence of three main groups within our samples. Although there was no consistency between morphotypes and genotypes, but an interrelationship was found between morphometry and morphotypes. Morphotype A, which was considered as P. sergenti sergenti, was the most prevalent in collection sites. Morphotype B, which was identified as Phlebotomus sergenti similis, is the first record of this subspecies in Iran, and was found to be sympatric with other morphotypes. Morphotype C had an elongated style in comparison with P. sergenti sergenti. Molecular database showed three main genetic structures. This is the first combined morphological and molecular studies on P sergenti s.l. in Iran. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

RFLP analysis of four regions of mitochondrial DNA (cytochrome b, D-loop, ND-5/6) amplified by PCR was used. Ten and nine haplotypes were found in S. glanis and S. aristotelis, respectively. No haplotype was shared between the two species. Significant geographical substructuring was observed in the distribution of haplotypes, with most populations possessing private haplotypes. These haplotypes can serve as genetic {\textquoteright}tags{\textquoteright} and therefore warrant protection. Haplotype diversity was very low for all Greek S. glanis populations, possibly because the small size and large annual fluctuations of Greek inland waters do not support large fish populations. Nucleotide divergence was in the range of 0.00-0.52\% among S. glanis populations, and 0.00-0.11\% among S. aristotelis populations. Historical factors such as glaciations could account for these low values. The value of 6.75\% sequence divergence of the two species refutes the classification of the two species in different genera, as proposed by some authors. This study constitutes the first attempt, based on mitochondrial molecular data, to address the complicated evolutionary history of the two species which belong to the widely distributed and economically important Siluridae family.}, keywords = {genetic variation, mtDNA, phylogeny, Silurus aristotelis, Silurus glanis}, author = {Triantafyllidis, A. and Theodoros J.

Seven and eight different haplotypes were revealed for the COI and ND5 gene segments respectively, while the combined data set consisted of twelve different haplotypes. Among the two DNA segments studied, the highest genetic divergence values were observed in COI. In both genes the highest divergence value was among A. m. ligustica colonies and all others. All the phylogenetic trees constructed by Maximum Parsimony, Neighbour-Joining and Bayesian Inference analyses exhibited exactly the same topology for COI and ND5 separately, as well as for the concatenated data set; A. m. ligustica forms the most distinct clade.

The genetic variation of the endangered freshwater fish Ladigesocypris ghigii, endemic to the island of Rhodes (Greece), was investigated for nine populations, originating from seven different stream systems and a reservoir, both at the mtDNA and nuclear level, in order to suggest conservation actions. 2. Both restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of five segments of mitochondrial DNA (ND-5/6, COI and 12S-16S rRNA) amplified by polymerase chain reaction, and random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis, revealed extremely low levels of intra-population polymorphism. It is highly likely that the low intra-population variability is the result of successive bottleneck events evident in shrinkage and expansion of the populations year after year, which may have led to a complete loss of several genotypes and haplotypes, and an increased degree of inbreeding. 3. Inter-population genetic structuring was high, with fixation of haplotypes within six of the nine populations and fixation of alleles within populations originating from different waterbodies. It is probable that all haplotypes and/or alleles found were initially represented in all populations. However, because of the long time of isolation coupled with successive bottleneck and subsequent genetic drift, common mtDNA haplotypes and alleles among the populations may have become rare or extinct through stochastic lineage loss. 4. Although nucleotide divergence among haplotypes was very shallow, half of the haplotypes recorded (three of six), resulted from nucleotide changes on the 12S-16S rRNA segments, which are the most conserved part of the mitochondrial genome. This fact may indicate that the observed genetic variation did not necessarily result only from the retention of ancestral polymorphism, but may have arisen through mutation and complete lineage sorting over a relatively small number of generations, once the populations had become isolated from one another. 5. Our data suggest that two of the L. ghigii populations may be on independent evolutionary trajectories. Considering that each population appears so far well adapted within each site, all populations should be managed and conserved separately. {\textcopyright} 2005 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.}, keywords = {conservation, genetic diversity, Ladigesocypris ghigii, mtDNA, Pisces, Population genetics, Random amplified polymorphic DNA}, author = {Mamuris, Z. and Stoumboudi, M.Th. and Stamatis, C. and Barbieri, R. and Moutou, K.A.} } @article {9200, title = {Genetic structure of Greek brown hare (Lepus europaeus) populations as revealed by MtDBNA RFLP-PCR analysis: Implications for conserving genetic diversity}, journal = {Biological ConservationBiological Conservation}, volume = {101}, number = {2}, year = {2001}, note = {Cited By (since 1996): 11Export Date: 6 September 2006Source: ScopusReferences: Avise, J.C., (1994) Molecular Markers, Natural History and Evolution, , Chapman and Hall, New York; Bernatchez, L., Savard, L., Dodson, J., Pallota, D., Mitochondrial DNA sequence heterogeneity among James-Hudson Bay anadromous coregonines (1988) Finnish Fish Research, 9, pp. 17-26; Biju-Duval, C., Ennafaa, H., Dennebouy, N., Monnerot, M., Mignotte, F., Soriguer, R.C., El Gaaied, A., (...), Mounolou, J.-C., Mitochondrial DNA evolution in lagomorphs: Origin of systematic heteroplasmy and organization of diversity in European rabbits (1991) Journal of Molecular Evolution, 33, pp. 92-102; Casane, D., Dennebouy, N., De Rochambeau, H., Mounolou, J.C., Monnerot, M., Nonneutral evolution of tandem repeats in the mitochondrial DNA control region of lagomorphs (1997) Molecular Biology and Evolution, 14, pp. 779-789; Caughley, G., Gunn, A., (1996) Conservation Biology in Theory and Practice, , Blackwell Science, Cambridge, Massachusetts; Felsenstein, J., PHYLIP (Phylogeny inference package), version 3.5c, p. 1993. , Seattle: Department of Genetics, University of Washington; Fickel, J., Lieckfeld, D., Pitra, C., Analyse der genetischen diversita?t und struktur in benachbarten populationen des feldhasen (Lepus europaeus, Pallas 1778) (1999) Z.

Data analysis revealed extensive haplotype diversity (42 out of 56 haplotypes were unique) within and among wild populations. Haplotype diversity was equally distributed within and between geographical regions, while significant genetic structuring was evident from heterogeneity of haplotype frequencies among sampling sites. Specific mtDNA profiles clearly differentiated reared from wild individuals and proved highly indicative for reared bares from past releases caught within wild populations. MtDNA analysis suggests the introgression of allochthonous gene pools into the native populations. To conserve indigenous genotypes and to prevent loss of genetic diversity, restocking operations should be stopped and an appropriate management adjusted to the local population dynamics should be developed. {\textcopyright} 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.

As a correct species assignment is crucial for ecological studies, the data presented here are substantiated using DNA sequences from the mitochondrial genome to verify the systematic status of the mudsnail taxon in question. A comparative molecular analysis involving almost all brackish-water taxa of Hydrobiinae indicates that the populations from the Evros Delta belong to the Pontic species Ventrosia maritima, a taxon that was not reported before from the Mediterranean. Moreover, it appears that in previous studies, the mudsnail populations from the Evros Delta were misidentified. Principal Component Analyses using environmental variables defined station groups among which V maritima showed a significant variation in density. Mudsnail specimens were absent at stations with an immediate access to the sea (salinity 32 - 34 PSU, very fine to fine sand, organic matter 0.3 -1.4 \%), they showed intermediate densities (up to 3,000 ind./m(2)) in innermost lagoonal parts (34-35 PSU, very fine sand, organic matter 1.0-1.4 \%) and relatively high densities (up to 7,000 ind./m(2)) only in isolated parts (15-17 PSU, fine sand, organic matter 0.5-0.8 \%). Contact with the sea, which is strongly correlated with seawater renewal rate and hydrodynamism, was found to be the most important factor affecting mudsnail distributions. The data presented, being the first detailed ecological information available for V. maritima, are compared with the available information for other mudsnail taxa. The present study not only lays the foundation for future comparative eco-genetic works of mudsnail taxa, it also stresses the absolute need for the routine usage of molecular markers in ecological studies involving frequently utilized but systematically poorly understood invertebrate species.}, keywords = {Aegean sea, coastal lagoon, Community structure, Gastropoda, Hydrobiidae, life-cycle, macrobenthic fauna, Mollusca Gastropoda, mtDNA, mud snails hydrobiidae, north aegean sea, pca, PHYLOGENETIC INFERENCE, salt-marsh, sediment type, spatial variation, ventrosa, ventrosia maritima}, author = {Kevrekidis, T. and Wilke, T. and Mogias, A.} } @article {6856, title = {Genetic differentiation and phylogenetic relationships among Greek Chub Leuciscus cephalus L.

Recent increases of BT incidence in the Mediterranean basin are attributed to its increased abundance and distribution. The phylogenetic status and genetic structure of C. imicola in this region are unknown, despite the importance of these aspects for BT epidemiology in the North American BT vector. In this study, analyses of partial mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene (COI) sequences were used to infer phylogenetic relationships among 50 C. imicola from Portugal, Rhodes, Israel, and South Africa and four other species of the Imicola Complex from southern Africa, and to estimate levels of matrilineal subdivision in C. imicola between Portugal and Israel. Eleven haplotypes were detected in C. imicola, and these formed one well-supported clade in maximum likelihood and Bayesian trees implying that the C. imicola samples comprise one phylogenetic species. Molecular variance was distributed mainly between Portugal and Israel, with no haplotypes shared between these countries, suggesting that female-mediated gene flow at this scale has been either limited or non-existent. Our results provide phylogenetic evidence that C. imicola in the study areas are potentially competent AHS and BT vectors. The geographical structure of the C. imicola COI haplotypes was concordant with that of BT virus serotypes in recent BT outbreaks in the Mediterranean basin, suggesting that population subdivision in its vector can impose spatial constraints on BT virus transmission.}, keywords = {African horse sickness, Bluetongue, Culicoides imicola, Cytochrome oxidase I gene, Diptera, Europe, Israel, mtDNA, Portugal, Rhodes}, author = {Dallas, J.F. and Cruickshank, R.H. and Linton, Y.-M. and Nolan, D.V. and Patakakis, M. and Braverman, Y. and Capela, R. and Capela, M. and Pena, I. and Meiswinkel, R. and Ortega, M.D. and Baylis, M. and Mellor, P.S. and Mordue, A.J.} } @article {3906, title = {Genetic divergence and phylogenetic relationships of honey bee Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae) populations from Greece and Cyprus using PCR - RFLP analysis of three mtDNA segments}, journal = {ApidologieApidologie}, volume = {36}, number = {3}, year = {2005}, note = {Cited By (since 1996): 2Export Date: 4 September 2006Source: ScopusReferences: Arias, M.C., Sheppard, W.S., Molecular Phylogenetics of Honey Bee Subspecies (Apis mellifera L.)

The populations were sampled from various areas of Greece and Cyprus and correspond to Apis mellifera adami, A. m. macedonica, A. m. cecropia, and A. m. cypria races, based on origin (Ruttner, 1988). Seven, eight and seven restriction enzymes were found to have at least one recognition site at the 16s rDNA, CO I, and ND 5 segments, respectively. Seven different haplotypes were detected and diagnostic patterns enabled us to discriminate A. m. macedonica from the rest of the populations (races). The estimated net nucleotide sequence divergence among the populations examined was found to range from 0.00 to 1.18 with the highest value observed to be between A. m. macedonica and non-A. m. macedonica populations. The trees obtained (by UPGMA and Dollo parsimony methods) revealed that the most distant population was that of A. m. macedonica. {\textcopyright} INRA/DIB-AGIB/ EDP Sciences, 2005.}, keywords = {Apis mellifera, Genetic variability, Greece, Honey bee, mtDNA}, author = {Bouga, M. and Harizanis, P.C. and Kilias, G. and Alahiotis, S.} } @article {3302, title = {Genetic insight into Mediterranean chukar (Alectoris chukar, Galliformes) populations inferred from mitochondrial DNA and RAPD markers}, journal = {GeneticaGeneticaGenetica}, volume = {131}, number = {3}, year = {2007}, note = {ISI Document Delivery No.: 223WVTimes Cited: 11Cited Reference Count: 35}, month = {Nov}, pages = {287-298}, type = {Article}, abstract = {The chukar (Alectoris chukar, Galliformes) is one of the most important game birds as it is widely distributed and hunted over the whole of its range.

To provide phylogenetic context, conspecific, allopatric specimens from Israel, Georgia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Mongolia, China and USA were compared. Sequencing of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) Control Region supplied information on the ancestry of A. chukar populations, whereas Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fingerprinting was used to assess whether hybridization had occurred. The Italian population was found to be an inter-specific mixture of A. chukar and A. rufa (i.e., the red-legged partridge) mtDNA lineages, whereas the representatives from Greece and Cyprus showed only the A. chukar maternal line. RAPD markers revealed introgression with A. rufa genes in the Italian population, whereas no A. chukar x A. rufa hybrid specimens were detected in the eastern Mediterranean populations. The genetic data obtained from the Italian A. chukar population as well as from a few Greek specimens pointed against their Mediterranean kinship, suggesting relationships with A. chukar subspecies from the easternmost part of the Asian continent.}, keywords = {Alectoris chukar, Alectoris rufa, ARBITRARY PRIMERS, chukar partridge, control Region, extinction, genetic introgression, hybridization, mtDNA, RAPD, red-legged partridge, rufa, SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT, SOFTWARE}, isbn = {0016-6707}, author = {Barbanera, F. and Guerrini, M. and Hadjigerou, P. and Panayides, P. and Sokos, C. and Wilkinson, P. and Khan, A.

Recently, several works have focused on the lacertid lizards of the genus Podarcis, revealing cases of hidden diversity and paraphyly, and offering evidence that suggests the revision of the extant taxonomical arrangements within the genus. Hidden diversity and paraphyly have been shown to exist in the relationships between the Balkan species P. peloponnesiaca and P. erhardii as well. Here we couple a molecular (mtDNA) dataset with a corresponding morphological one, consisting of morphometric and pholidotic characters, to check for concordance between the two. Phylogenetic analyses reinforced previous suggestions for paraphyly of P. erhardii with respect to P. peloponnesiaca. We found the variation of certain pholidotic characters concordant with the relationships inferred from partial mtDNA sequences, whereas morphometric characters were not. The latter is possibly due to greater influence of morphometric characters by environmental factors. To avoid the observed paraphyly we proceed with the description of the populations from Crete and the islet of Pori, until now designated as P. erhardii, as separate taxa at the species level.
