Abstract

The giant water bug (Abedus herberti) is a large flightless insect that is a keystone predator in aridland aquatic habitats. Extended droughts, possibly due to climate change and groundwater pumping, are causing once-perennial aquatic habitats to dry, resulting in serious conservation concern for some populations. A. herberti also exhibits exclusive male parental care, which has made it a model organism for studying mating systems evolution. Here we describe 17 novel polymorphic microsatellite loci developed for A. herberti. Number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 15, and average observed and expected heterozygosities were 0.579 and 0.697, respectively. These loci can successfully resolve both population genetic structure among sites separated by 3-100 km (F_ST = 0.08-0.21, P < 0.0001), and divergent mating strategies within local populations, making them highly useful for conservation genetics studies of this vulnerable species.

巨型水虫Abedus herberti的17个新的多态微卫星标记。

巨型水虫(Abedus herberti)是一种大型不会飞的昆虫，是干旱水域栖息地的主要捕食者。长期的干旱，可能是由于气候变化和地下水抽取，正在导致曾经的多年生水生栖息地干涸，导致一些种群面临严重的保护问题。黄斑拟南蝽也表现出雄性亲代的独家照顾，这使它成为研究交配系统进化的模式生物。本文描述了17个新的多态微卫星位点。每个位点的等位基因数为2 ~ 15个，平均观察杂合度和期望杂合度分别为0.579和0.697。这些基因座既能解析3 ~ 100 km间的种群遗传结构(FST = 0.08 ~ 0.21, P < 0.0001)，又能解析本地种群内不同的交配策略，对该易感物种的保护遗传学研究具有重要意义。
