Patterns of genetic variation among lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) of eastern Lake Superior were examined using starch gel electrophoresis. We used 484 individuals sampled from three areas, representing three morphological types (leans, humpers, and siscowets). Of 50 loci examined, 44 were monomorphic in all groups sampled. Genetic variation occurs at six loci AAT-1,2, MDH-3,4, ME-1, and SOD-1. The average heterozygosity found (H = 0.015) is low relative to other salmonid species. A significant amount of heterogeneity exists among the 10 lake trout samples. These differences are due to variation within as well as between morphological types. The significance and management implications of these data are discussed.Key words: genetic variation, lake trout, Salvelinus namaycush, Lake Superior

Gene Variability

Enzyme gene variability in the oil sardine, Sardinella longiceps, from three localities along the western coast of India was studied by starch-gel electrophoresis. Out of 19 loci scored, no locus was polymorphic by the 95% criterion. Seven loci were polymorphic at the P=0.99 level. The average heterozygosity ranged from 0.6% to 0.9%. These values are very low compared with those of other marine fish species.

Starch Gel

Starch gel electrophoresis of enzymes and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of muscle proteins were used to study genetic variation in 589 barramundi from three widely separated regions in northern Australia. Presumed genetic variation was observed at 16 loci (out of 46 screened). However, only 11 of these were polymorphic at the p0.99 level. The average heterozygosity in this species was 0.032. In nearly all cases, genotypic proportions agreed closely with Hardy-Weinberg expectations. Repeated sampling in each region revealed little or no change in allele frequencies over a period of several months. Similarly, comparisons of allele frequencies for fish from marine and from freshwater localities in the south-eastem Gulf of Carpentaria failed to reveal significant genetic differences between habitats. Between-region heterogeneity Χ2 tests indicated substantial genetic differentiation at 10 of the 11I polymorphic loci. These data indicate the existence of at least three distinct stocks or subpopulations of barramundi in Australia.

Analysis of 26 genetic loci by horizontal starch gel electrophoresis was performed on 197 pikas from one Montana and four Colorado populations. Only four loci were polymorphic within populations and individual heterozygosity was low for a mammal [Formula: see text]. The Montana and Colorado populations were fixed for alternate allelles at three loci. Because of the insular nature of pika habitat, drift is probably important in determining low heterozygosities and genetic similarities measured between widely separated pika populations.

The Mean

Eight samples of Littorina tenebrosa and L. saxatilis (Mollusca: Gastropoda) from Ireland and Britain, including pairs of each form from two locations in Ireland, were screened for genetic variation at 12 polymorphic enzyme loci using starch gel electrophoresis. Levels of polymorphism and heterozygosity were similar in L. tenebrosa and L. saxatilis, apart from a sample of L. tenebrosa from Britain which was less polymorphic than the Irish samples. No alleles were found to be unique to either form. Phylogenetic analysis using UPGMA showed that L. saxatilis and L. tenebrosa populations clustered as a monophyletic group. Nevertheless, the mean genetic distance between parapatric populations of L. saxatilis and L. tenebrosa (D=0.076) was similar to the mean for allopatric populations of either species (D=0.080). This indicates that there is a barrier to gene flow between the two forms Despite this, L. tenebrosa does not merit specific status since populations of this snail do not cluster as a distinct group, separate from L. saxatilis populations.

Starch Gel

Using starch gel electrophoresis, we examined the genetic variability of kikuyugrass collected from three golf course sites within its geographical range in California. These experiments were conducted to determine the method of spread of kikuyugrass in areas where it is considered invasive. Samples from roughs and fairways of each of these locations were compared. of the 354 plants examined, 12 different genotypes were identified by isozyme analysis, and only three of the nine putative loci varied among the genotypes. Two genotypes, representing 73% of the plants examined, were found at all three geographic locations. Our results imply that under common golf course practices, kikuyugrass is maintained by clonal reproduction. We conclude that low genetic variation does not preclude a plant species from being an aggressive invader.

SummaryGenetic variation in 40 domestic rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) from eight different strains was investigated by horizontal starch gel electrophoresis. Twenty nine enzyme systems were examined in different tissues, 10 isoenzymes were found to be polymorphic. Indices of genetic variation show values comparable to those found in most other mammalian species. Thus the unusually high values reported previously by other authors may be due to a limited and not randomly chosen set of enzymes studied.

AbstractAdult flies from five taxa (Bactrocera carambolae Drew & Hancock (formerly ‘Malaysian A’), B. dorsalis (Hendel) sensu stricto, B. melastomatos Drew & Hancock, B. papayae Drew & Hancock (formerly ‘Malaysian B’) and B. propinqua (Hardy & Adachi) of the Bactrocera dorsalis complex were analysed at 17 enzyme loci using horizontal starch-gel electrophoresis. Eleven loci—aAdh, Ald, Gpd, Ldh, aMdh, cMdh, Me, Pgm, Pgd, Sod-F, Sod-S—were represented by the most common allele in the five taxa. Of these 11 loci, seven showed intraspecific variation in one or more taxa. Among the five taxa, B. melastomatos could be distinguished from the rest by two loci (Acp and Gpi), while B. propinqua could be separated by four loci (Acp, Est-D, Idh90, Pep-C). Bactrocera dorsalis, B. carambolae and B. papayae did not possess any species-characteristic locus/allele, but B. carambolae could be distinguished from the other two taxa by Idh. The proportion of polymorphic loci in the Malaysian taxa ranged from 0.41 to 0.53. Bactrocera propinqua had the lowest average heterozygosity (H=0.05), while that in B. carambolae, B. melastomatos and B. papayae ranged from 0.09 to 0.11. The genetic identity values indicate closest affinity between B. dorsalis and B. papayae (I=0.99), followed by B. caramboiae (I=0.92), B. melastomatos (I=0.84) and B. propinqua (I=0.69). Bactrocera melastomatos showed closest affinity to B. carambolae (I=0.87) and was most distant from B. propinqua (I=0.64).
