Challenges and prospects of population genetic studies in terns (Charadriiformes, Aves)

Abstract: Little information is available about the population structure of communally nesting terns (Sternidae) and skimmers (Rynchopidae) throughout the world. In order to fill this gap, a survey of molecular markers was carried out for six species of terns (Anous stolidus, Sterna hirundinacea, S. fuscata, S. superciliaris, Thalasseus maximus and Phaetusa simplex) and one species of skimmer (Rynchops niger). First, we describe the results of the construction of genomic DNA libraries and document problems encountered d… Show more

“…The most suitable mtDNA region for vertebrate population genetic and phylogeographic studies is usually the control region (Avise 2004). However, previous attempts to obtain these sequences failed and we have reported the occurrence of nuclear copies in this region in terns (Faria et al 2007). As a result, additional mtDNA gene sequences were required to conduct such studies and partial sequences of the Cytochrome b (Cyt b) and ND2 genes were selected.…”

“…To date, there have been no microsatellites loci isolated from South American terns, with previous attempts to generate species‐specific primers (through the construction of genomic libraries) being unsuccessful (Faria et al 2007). As a result, we conducted cross‐species amplification tests using 14 microsatellite primers published for two species of gulls (Given et al 2002, Tirard et al 2002) and four isolated from the roseate tern (Szczys et al 2005).…”

“…Assim sendo, a população é a unidade ecológica evolutivamente funcional, na qual mudanças genéticas e adaptações locais ocorrem. Em termos conservacionistas, a população parece ser a unidade mais importante de preservação da biodiversidade (Meffe & Caroll, 1997;Faria et al, 2007).…”

“…Desta maneira, informação sobre a distribuição da variação genética intra e interpopulacional são necessárias para identificação de unidades evolutivamente significantes (ESU -Evolutionary Significant Units) (Moritz, 1994a;1994b;Faria et al, 2007;Dantas et al, 2013). Essa identificação de ESUs é ainda mais importante em espécies ameaçadas ou expostas a graves distúrbios antrópicos, para que esforços conservacionistas possam ser direcionados de maneira mais eficiente (Haig, 1998;Petit et al, 1998;Faria et al, 2007;.…”
