Impairment of reproductive capabilities in three subsequent generations of asymmetric hybrids between Eisenia andrei and E. fetida from French, Hungarian and Polish laboratory colonies

Abstract: Eisenia andrei (Ea) and E. fetida (Ef) lumbricid earthworms are simultaneous hermaphrodites potentially capable of self-fertilization and hybridization. We have shown previously that reproductive isolation in these species is incomplete in Ea and Ef earthworms of French provenance, as viable offspring appeared in inter-specific pairs. Fertile asymmetric hybrids developed from Ea-derived ova fertilized by Ef-derived spermatozoa, as well as Ea or Ef specimens derived after self-fertilization (resulting from admi… Show more

“…Lumbricid earthworms Eisenia andrei (Ea) and E. fetida (Ef) originally derived from laboratory stocks at the University in Lille (France) were cultured for a decade in the laboratories of the Institute of Zoology and Biomedical Research of the Jagiellonian University (Krakow, Poland), and in parallel for the last five years in the College of Natural Sciences, University of Rzeszo ´w [7,9,10,28,29]. For several years they were used as convenient models for studies of hybridization of these simultaneous hermaphrodites by genotyping them by species-specific sequences of mitochondrial COI gene ('a' for Ea and 'f' for Ef) and diploid nuclear sequences of 28s rRNA gene of maternal/paternal origin ('A' for Ea and 'F' for Ef) as aAA, fFF and aAF or fFA interspecific hybrids [7][8][9][10]. Every genotyped specimen from these experiments was marked by the genetic symbols followed by a unique numerical code and all sequences have been deposited in GeneBank [7,9,10,28] while ethanol-fixed posterior segments were preserved for further use.…”
