Genetic introgression between wild and stocked salmoids and the prospects for using molecular markers in population rehabilitation: the case of the Adriatic grayling (Thymallus thymallus L. 1785)

Article Abstract:

The study was designed to characterize the genetics structure of the Adriatic grayling in Slovenia, with particular emphasis on estimating the degree of introgression with non-indigenous stocked grayling. It was revealed that no distinctive Adriatic group is present but rather a dispersed multitude of individuals that cannot be unambiguously distinguished from more homogeneous Danubian population is present.

Asymmetric introgression of African genes in honeybee populations (Apis mellifera L.) in Central Mexico

Article Abstract:

Mitochondrial and nuclear DNA markers are used for analyzing the Africanization of honeybee (Apis mellifera) in Central Mexico along an altitudinal transect from 72 to 2800 m. The mitochondrial analysis has revealed that the two high-altitude populations have a greater percentage of African mitotypes than the three lowland populations, suggesting successful spreading of Africanized swarms to these altitudes.

Revisiting the role of introgression vs shared ancestral polymorphisms as key processes shaping genetic diversity in the recently separated sibling species of the Anopheles gambiae complex

Article Abstract:

A study to determine whether mitochondrial DNA sequences have introgressed between the closely related African malaria vectors Anopheles gambiae and A. arabiensis is presented by applying population genetic methods. The results propose locale specific unidirectional introgression of mitochondria from A. arabiensis into A. gambiae.
