“…Molecular genetic approaches offer a solution to this lack of information, enabling a determination of both the source regions of invasive species and the dispersal corridors employed during their range expansions. Despite this fact, only a few genetic studies have so far examined the source areas of aquatic invaders, their dispersal vectors, or the biological factors that prompt invasions (eg, Spidle et al, 1994;Havel et al, 2000;Cristescu et al, 2001;Berg et al, 2002). No studies have attempted to compare the molecular attributes of different invasive species to determine if patterns of invasion are predictable.…”

“…There are numerous reports on molecular verification of species identifications based on great genetic variation or close genetic similarity between the earlier distinguished taxa. For example, the wide genetic variation of Dreissena from American Great Lakes revealed the presence of two sympatric introduced species: D. polymopha and D. bugensis (MAY & MARSDEN 1992, SPIDLE et al 1994. Two snail species, occurring allopatrically in Europe, showed a great genetic and morphological uniformity which strongly supports their conspecificity; they all represent Marstoniopsis insubrica .…”

Doubly Uniparental Inheritance (DUI), a peculiar way of inheritance of mitochondrial DNA in animals, has been detected in seven families of marine and freshwater bivalves, including Unionidae. DUI involves two independently inherited mitochondrial genomes: maternal (F genome) and paternal (M genome), which show different tissue localisation and wide genetic variation. F genomes occur in somatic tissues of both sexes and are inherited maternally (Strict Maternal Inheritance, SMI). M genomes are located in male germ cells and transmitted to next generations along the male lineage, i.e. from fathers to male offspring. The objective of this study was detection of M genomes and characteristics of DUI in unionid bivalves from Poland, based on sequential analyses of seven mitochondrial genes. This is the study to analyse F and M haplotypes at intra-and interspecific level in seven species of freshwater mussels. DUI was first observed in species of the genus Unio (U. crassus, U. pictorum and U. tumidus), and the best M haplotype marker was gene cox1. In the studied bivalves F and M sequences showed a similar intraspecific variation, with differences among the genes. Three tRNA genes showed the smallest (ca. 20%) nucleotide variation, followed by the gene coding for RNA for the small ribosomal subunit, srRNA (24%); a significantly greater variation (exceeding 30%) was recorded for protein-coding genes (cox1, cytb) and the gene coding for RNA for the large ribosomal subunit, lrRNA. Interspecific variation of F sequences of the studied unionids ranged from 5% for tRNAs to 18% for cytb. Higher values were observed for M sequences: from 7% for tRNAs to 19% for cox1. The Chinese mussel occurring in Poland, despite the morphology-based identification as Anodonta / Sinanodonta woodiana, proved to be genetically more similar to A. arcaeformis than to Asian specimens of A. woodiana. Phylogenetic analyses showed that in the genus Unio the youngest species were U. pictorum and U. mancus, and the earliest species was U. tumidus showing the greatest genetic distinctness.

“…polymorpha is one of the most studied invasive species (Karatayev et al, 1997(Karatayev et al, , 2007Kołodziejczyk et al, 2011;Schlosser & Schmuckal, 2012;Sousa et al, 2014); however, most studies concentrate on their ecology, toxicology, and physiology, whereas purely genetic studies are less abundant and concentrate more on North American than European samples (Sousa et al, 2014). Few markers are available, mainly allozyme electrophoretic and RAPDs markers (Hebert et al, 1989;May & Marsden, 1992;Spidle et al, 1994;Marsden et al, 1995;Lewis et al, 2000;Elderkin et al, 2001Elderkin et al, , 2004Stepien et al, 2002). The usefulness of cox1 appeared to be limited for the regional and fine-scale European D. polymorpha populations due to very low levels of polymorphism: only 5 haplotypes were observed over 338 individuals by Tarnowska et al (2013) in France.…”

Next-generation sequencing of Dreissena polymorpha transcriptome sheds light on its mitochondrial DNA

Zebra mussels Dreissena polymorpha (Veneroida, Dreissenidae) are known for their invasive behavior. Despite numerous studies dealing with this species, no results of large sequencing projects have been published to date, hampering marker development. In this study, we present a relatively large novel transcriptomic dataset obtained by Illumina MiSeq technology from mantle and male gonad of D. polymorpha sampled in Poland. The transcriptomic data were typical for the tissue analyzed. Moreover, they showed the expression of a single mitochondrial genome, indicating that this species do not have doubly uniparental inheritance of mitochondria. The sequences of mitochondrial transcripts were used to design primers and obtain nearly complete sequence of the zebra mussel mitochondrial genome by PCR and Sanger sequencing. This mitogenome has unique gene order, with the genes split into two blocks encoded in opposite directions. The closest mitogenome available in GenBank belongs to the marine clam Mya arenaria (Myoida, Myidae). The average divergence of the sequences of these mitogenomes is quite high, in the range of 20%. Both mitogenomic and transcriptomic resources should prove very useful for elucidating population genetics and conservation issues involving this important species.
