Effective population size is a crucial concept of conservation biology. It is reduced by biased sex ratio, consequently causing loss of genetic variation. To evaluate genetic diversity related to gender, and investigate the possible effects of biased sex ratio, we analyzed available microsatellite DNA markers from 120 samples of Populus nigra L. (European black poplar) originating from five geographical regions in Turkey. Using 12 microsatellite markers, we detected 60 clones of the same genotype, out of 120 trees. The clone genotype was observed both in males and females, which might suggest that P. nigra deviates from dioecism. Three genetic clusters were detected, two of which possibly correspond to commercially available trees. Overall allelic richness was found to be similar for both genders, whereas heterozygosity was slightly higher in males. Additionally, a simulation software prototype was developed to see the effects of sex ratio on diversity and allele frequency trends in future generations, given the available molecular data. Results showed that if biased sex ratio persists, allele loss and fixation might occur in a higher rate, causing loss of variation.

The Effects of sex ratio in estimation of genetic differentiation in populus nigra populations
Yelmen, Burak; Kaya, Zeki; Department of Biology (2017)
Effective population size is an important concept in conservation biology. Biased sex ratio lowers effective population size, consequently causing loss of genetic variation. In this study, available microsatellite DNA marker data of 121 Populus nigra clones originated from 5 geographical regions were analyzed to evaluate genetic diversity of genders and to investigate possible effects of sex ratio on differentiation in these populations in Turkey. There was an abundance of identical genotypes in the dataset...
The Role of Top-Down and Bottom-Up Control for Phytoplankton in a Subtropical Shallow Eutrophic Lake: Evidence Based on Long-Term Monitoring and Modeling
Mao, Zhigang; Gu, Xiaohong; Cao, Yong; Zhang, Min; Zeng, Qingfei; Chen, Huihui; Shen, Ruijie; Jeppesen, Erik (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-02-03)
Lake ecosystems are exposed to a range of anthropogenic pressures, particularly eutrophication, and in some cases also stocking and/or overfishing of top-predator fish species, all factors that have implications for the food web structure and which could lead to dominance of nuisance cyanobacteria. Restoration of degraded lakes demands insight into the relative role of top-down for bottom-up regulating forces. While knowledge about these forces in temperate lakes is extensive, comparatively little is known ...
Do interactions between eutrophication and CO2 enrichment increase the potential of elodeid invasion in tropical lakes?
Mormul, Roger Paulo; Thomaz, Sidinei Magela; Jeppesen, Erik (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-09-01)
Understanding the roles of eutrophication and CO2 enrichment in the invasive success of aquatic plants is an ecological challenge with relevance to climate change. We tested the hypotheses that (1) eutrophication of freshwaters increases the invasive success of the submersed aquatic plant Hydrilla verticillata; (2) CO2-enrichment makes freshwater systems more prone to H. verticillata invasion; and (3) interactions between eutrophication and CO2 enrichment increase the potential of H. verticillata invasion. ...
Early gene expression divergence between allopatric populations of the house mouse (Mus musculus domesticus)
Bryk, Jaroslaw; Somel, Mehmet; Lorenc, Anna; Teschke, Meike (Wiley, 2013-03-01)
Divergence of gene expression is known to contribute to the differentiation and separation of populations and species, although the dynamics of this process in early stages of population divergence remains unclear. We analyzed gene expression differences in three organs (brain, liver, and testis) between two natural populations of Mus musculus domesticus that have been separated for at most 3000years. We used two different microarray platforms to corroborate the results at a large scale and identified hundr...
Expression of the potential biomarker heat shock protein 70 and its regulator, the metazoan DnaJ homolog, by temperature stress in the sponge Geodia cydonium
Koziol, C; Batel, R; Arinc, E; Schroder, HC; Muller, WEG (Inter-Research Science Center, 1997-01-01)
Because sponges (Porifera) are generally the dominant group of multicellular animals found in the marine benthos they are key animals for the testing of biomarkers in this biotope. Previously, it was shown that the heat shock protein hsp70 from the marine sponge Geodia cydonium is a useful biomarker for following biological responses to selected physical and chemical stressors. One protein which is critical for hsp70 function in other organisms is the DnaJ-like protein. In this study we therefore isolated a...
