Title: | Molecular diversity of populations of the Merodon ruficornis group (Diptera, Syrphidae) on the Balkan Peninsula | Authors: | Milankov, Vesna Ståhls G. Vujić, Ante |
Issue Date: | 1-May-2008 | Journal: | Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research | Abstract: | Genetic diversity of 11 populations of the Merodon ruficornis group (Diptera, Syrphidae) on the Balkan Peninsula was quantified using allozyme electrophoresis and nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I. A total of 10 haplotypes of mtDNA were found in 22 analysed individuals. One haplotype was shared between M. loewi (from Pindos and Dubašnica Mts) and M. armipes, one confined to M. auripes (haplotype III) and M. armipes (VII) and three to M. trebevicensis (VIII, IX and X), M. ruficornis (I, II and IV) and M. loewi (V, VI and VII). Analysis of the population genetic structure parameters showed great differences among analysed species. Different levels of genetic variability suggested that a variety of biological, environmental and/or historical factors had influenced these hoverfly populations. The unweighted pair group method with arithmetic average dendrogram constructed using allozyme data suggested that M. loewi was the most divergent species in comparison with M. armipes, M. auripes, M. ruficornis and M. trebevicensis. Clear separation of the populations ((((M. armipes + M. auripes) + M. ruficornis) + M. trebevicensis) + M. loewi) was observed. The parsimony analysis of the M. ruficornis group using Merodon avidus as outgroup resulted in three equally parsimonious trees, and the strict consensus presented the following relationships ((((M. loewi + M. armipes) + (M. auripes)) + (M. trebevicensis)) + (M. ruficornis)))). The uncorrected interspecies pairwise sequence divergences ranged from 1.69% (between haplotype III of M. armipes and haplotype V of M. loewi) to 4.94% (between M. ruficornis and M. trebevicensis). © 2008 The Authors. | URI: | https://open.uns.ac.rs/handle/123456789/9911 | ISSN: | 09475745 | DOI: | 10.1111/j.1439-0469.2007.00448.x |
