“…The host plants of M. mutica, namely pondweed Potamogeton (pectinatus) and widgeon grass Ruppia sp., are preferred food of waterfowl (Clausen et al, 2002;Green et al, 2002;Marklund & Sandsten, 2002). Dispersal by waterfowl is likely and is known to influence the genetic structure of plant populations (Mader et al, 1998;Hangelbroek et al, 2002;King et al, 2002). Thus it is likely that Macroplea (especially cocoons and eggs) are eaten by birds and survive the passage through their digestive tract.…”

Abstract. The pattern of postglacial re-colonization of Europe and the present population structure are known for various plant and animal species. The reed beetle Macroplea mutica (Fabricius, 1792) has characteristics that should influence both aspects in a peculiar way and therefore complement the currently known scenarios: It is fully aquatic but cannot swim or fly. Samples from 25 European populations of M. mutica and five specimens from China were investigated using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP, 251 loci). Assessment of error rates associated with this method showed that the data set contains a strong population genetic signal. As hypothesized pronounced population differentiation and signs of inbreeding were found. Italian populations are clearly differentiated from northern populations (and from each other), which underlines the role of the Alps as a major barrier. Specimens from Lake Balaton (Hungary) show some affiliation with the populations in the Baltic Sea, which are all relatively similar. Populations from the eastern part of Northern Germany are similar to the Baltic populations, while those from the western part are allied to the British populations. The hypothesis is that the recolonization of Europe was from both the Southeast and a western refugium in the area of present-day southern England or Ireland, which resulted in a suture zone in Northern Germany. The effect of passive dispersal by drift attached to host plant material (especially in the Baltic Sea) and by zoochory (migrating waterfowl) is discussed.

“…Accessions of P. pectinatus have been analysed using isozyme (Hettiarachchi and Triest 1991), RAPD (Mader et al 1998, Hangelbroek et al 2002, ISSR (King et al 2002) and AFLP (Han et al 2014) markers. In most cases there was a geographic pattern of diversity and also a correlation between genetic diversity and migration pathways of water birds (Mader et al 1998, Hangelbroek et al 2002.…”

-Potamogeton pectinatus L. is a widespread aquatic species distributed widely in aquatic ecosystems of Iran. In this study, inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to assess the genetic diversity of 35 accessions and 175 individuals of P. pectinatus collected from different regions of Iran. In total, 123 polymorphic DNA fragments were amplified from five combinations of ISSR primers. The ISSR based principle coordinate analyses (PCoA) demonstrated four different groups mostly corresponding with their geographic origins (North, Kerman/Fars, Centre and Southwest). The most variable populations were found in the central region of Iran possibly as a consequence of the larger number of samples from that region. The result of molecular variance (AMOVA) attributed 11% of the total genetic variation among and 89% within population variation. The results showed high levels of intra-regional and low inter-regional gene flow between clones, although the Northern accessions were clearly differentiated from the others. There was a low correlation between genetic distance and geographic distance of accessions. The results of STRUCTURE analysis suggested the presence of three genetic groups of this species in Iran, mostly adapted to different ecological conditions. Our results cover one of the gaps of different studies worldwide. In addition, our results confirm high levels of genetic diversity of P. pectinatus in Iran.

“…ISSRs have the advantage of allowing analysis of multiple loci in a single reaction and to be more accessible to ecological laboratories that lack sophisticated equipment and/or adequate technical expertise. ISSRs have been applied successfully in population genetic studies for a variety of organisms, including clonal plants (King et al 2002, Wang et al 2004.…”

Posidonia oceanica is an endemic seagrass species in the Mediterranean Sea. Due to its ecological importance, it has been the subject of several genetic studies aimed at increasing general knowledge of the system and helping to define appropriate management strategies. We compared the efficiency of 2 different classes of molecular markers, 'inter simple sequence repeats' (ISSRs) and 'simple sequence repeats' (SSRs) or 'microsatellites', in population genetic analysis of P. oceanica. To do this, we analyzed meadows along the coasts of the Calabria peninsula (Italy, South Tyrrhenian Sea and Ionian Sea), a putative biogeographic barrier for P. oceanica. SSR and ISSR markers detected different levels of genetic variability within P. oceanica populations. Dinucleotide microsatellites were more polymorphic than tri-and heptanucleotide microsatellites and ISSRs. Nevertheless, discriminating power analysis performed for each single locus showed that some trinucleotide microsatellite and ISSR primers were more sensitive than dinucleotides. The use of selected ISSR and SSR markers together allowed the detection of higher polymorphism than either set of marker alone. Tyrrhenian meadows were always more polymorphic than Ionian ones, according to both SSRs and ISSRs. Both markers strongly suggested the Calabria peninsula as an important biogeographic barrier between the Western and the Eastern side of the Mediterranean basin.
