Microsatellite markers in the common grey four-eyed opossum (Philander opossum: Didelphidae, Marsupialia) (original) (raw)
AI-generated Abstract
This research investigates the genetic diversity of the common grey four-eyed opossum (Philander opossum) by developing and characterizing microsatellite markers. The study examines factors influencing genetic variability within tropical rainforests and presents a successful methodology for isolating novel microsatellite loci. Results indicate significant heterozygosity across several loci, supporting the potential for these markers in future population genetics studies.

The bluefin damselfish, Abudefduf luridus is commonly found in rocky shallow waters of the Macaronesian Islands. During the breeding season males prepare and defend nests in an open rock within their territories. Females deposit egg masses in single layers (clutches) and return to their territories after spawning. Males care for the eggs until the hatching of planktonic larvae. Behaviour observations have shown that deserted nests are generally reoccupied by other males who take care of present eggs and begin attracting females, similar to the redlip blenny (Santos 1995). Competition for territories is high and is a central factor of mating and reproductive success of the males.

Dung samples were extracted in duplicate and amplified for DNA at 16 microsatellite loci using methods described in Wasser et al. (2008; 2007; 2004). To prevent possibilities for cross-contamination, ivory pulverization, DNA extraction and PCR set-up were conducted in rooms separate from the rooms where PCR amplification and fragment analysis are conducted. Once an extract was PCR-amplified, it was prepared for fragment analysis with the analyses conducted in that same room. Those extracts were stored in that room until discarded.

The genus Laurus (Lauraceae) includes relict evergreen trees of the Tethyan fl ora that covered southern Europe and northern Africa during the mid Tertiary but is currently restricted to isolated refugia in the southern Black Sea area, Mediterranean Basin, Morocco, and the Macaronesian archipelagoes of Azores, Madeira, and Canaries ( Rodr í guez-S á nchez et al., 2009 ). Two species, L. nobilis L. and L. azorica (Seub.) Franco , have been recognized, although recent molecular data do not support their distinction (see Rodr í guez-S á nchez et al., 2009 ). Different ploidy levels have been described in Laurus (e.g., , with tetraploidy (2n = 4 x = 48) being the most frequent karyotype.
