Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the genetic diversity of domestic pigeon populations ( Columba livia ), using genes that are responsible for encoding plumage color and design, in Cienaga de Oro (Cordoba, Colombia). Random samplings were performed in 5 colonies of Cienaga de Oro from June to August 2015. By means of urban excursions, direct observation and photographic records, 325 pigeons were studied. Autosomal markers encoding plumage color and design were used: Grizzle (G), Spread (S), Checker (C), and the sex-linked Ash-Red locus (B). Genetic parameters—allele frequency, genetic diversity, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and population structure—were calculated using the PopGene 1.31 program. Genetic structure and genetic distance were evaluated using the FSTAT v. 2.9.3.2 program. A dendrogram was elaborated using the MEGA 5.2 program. The marker with the highest allele frequency was Spread , while the Ash-Red marker showed the lowest values. Little genetic differentiation between populations and high gene flow were obtained. An excess of heterozygotes was observed, in addition to the absence of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. A possible natural selection for the Spread marker was evidenced.
期刊介绍:
The Revue de Médecine Vétérinaire publishes four kinds of text:
1) Scientific reviews on subjects related to veterinary and comparative medicine. Suggested length: 10 to 30 typed pages.
2) Original reports on fundamental or applied research. Suggested length: 10 to 15 typed pages.
3) Continuous education articles, that should be easily understandable by non-specialists. Suggested length: 10 to 15 typed pages.
4) Clinical reports. Suggested length: 5 to 15 typed pages.
The publication can be done in French language or English language.
For an article written in English by not english native speakers authors, the manuscript must be subjected by attesting that it was read again by an anglophone scientist or a scientific translator.
The authors must certify that the manuscript was not published or subjected for publication to another review.
The manuscript must be accompanied by a sheet signed by all the joint authors indicating their agreement for the tender of the manuscript.
The publication is free but a financial participation could be required for the photographs color. An estimate will be sent to collect the agreement of the authors.
