Evolution, systematics, and the unnatural history of mitochondrial DNA Mitochondrial DNA Part A (IF 1.695) Pub Date : 2021-04-05 Jeffrey H. Schwartz
Abstract The tenets underlying the use of mtDNA in phylogenetic and systematic analyses are strict maternal inheritance, clonality, homoplasmy, and difference due to mutation: that is, there are species-specific mtDNA sequences and phylogenetic reconstruction is a matter of comparing these sequences and inferring closeness of relatedness from the degree of sequence similarity. Yet, how mtDNA behavior

The method combines the use of true Cervus antlers-specific primers, that amplify a 226 bp fragment from true Cervus antlers DNA, and mammalian-specific primers amplifying a 146 bp fragment from mammalian species DNA, which are used as endogenous control

Characterizing coral reef biodiversity: genetic species delimitation in brachyuran crabs of Palmyra Atoll, Central Pacific. Mitochondrial DNA Part A (IF 1.695) Pub Date : 2020-06-05 Jennifer A Servis,Brendan N Reid,Molly A Timmers,Vasiliki Stergioula,Eugenia Naro-Maciel
Coral reefs are highly threatened ecosystems, yet there are numerous challenges in conducting inventories of their vanishing biodiversity, partly because many taxa remain difficult to detect and describe. Genetic species delimitation methods provide a standardized means for taxonomic classification including of cryptic, rare, or elusive groups, but results can vary by analytical method and genetic

Genetics of the Andean bear (Tremarctos ornatus; Ursidae, Carnivora) in Ecuador: when the Andean Cordilleras are not an Obstacle Mitochondrial DNA Part A (IF 1.695) Pub Date : 2020-05-29 Manuel Ruiz-García, Armando Castellanos, Jessica Yanina Arias-Vásquez, Joseph Mark Shostell
One of the top carnivores in the Andean mountains is the Andean bear (Tremarctos ornatus, Ursidae), the only bear in South America. This is a flagship and key umbrella species in Ecuador because its conservation has a positive impact on the conservation of many other species in the Andes. But to preserve, first one must know the genetic characteristics of a species, among other things. For this, we

Biological identification of ascidians from Vizhinjam Bay, southwest Coast of India using CO1 gene sequences. Mitochondrial DNA Part A (IF 1.695) Pub Date : 2020-06-09 Kaleemullah B Khan,L Praba,H Abdul Jaffar Ali
Ascidians are ecologically important components of marine ecosystems, yet the taxonomy and diversity of ascidians remain largely unexplored. Only <60% of reported ascidian species in India have been taxonomically described and identified and the rest of the species remain unidentified due to uncertainty in the morphology-based identification. We explored the usefulness of CO1 gene sequences for molecular
