In the present study, the generic assignment of A. yunnanensis was re-evaluated based on both morphological and genetic evidences from newly collected specimens (including topotypes). The genus Atretium was recovered as polyphyletic with reference to A. yunnanensis, whereas A. yunnanensis was nested within the genus Fowlea Theobald, 1868. Moreover, Atretium yunnanensis is morphologically closer to the members of Fowlea rather than the genus Atretium. Since the continuous recognition of A. yunnanensis in the genus Atretium will preclude the monophyly of genus Atretium, we transfer A. yunnanensis to the genus Fowlea. In addition, we provided detailed descriptions of Fowlea yunnanensis, including hemipenial description, colored photos, distribution map, and natural history.","PeriodicalId":48693,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Herpetology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45943489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we present the first herpetofaunal survey of several small islet clusters in close proximity to the Mediterranean coast of Israel, only recently geologically separated from the mainland. We performed surveys of five islets during March of 2017 – 2018 and recorded the presence of five different species of reptiles on four of the surveyed islets. Species richness varied between 1 and 4 species, and appeared to be correlated with island area, with a distinct nested structure. Reptile species may have colonized the islets by natural dispersal from nearby coastal populations, or by hitch-hiking on fishing boats and similar methods of human-assisted dispersal. Alternatively, the recorded reptiles may represent relictual populations from earlier geologic periods, when lower sea-levels supported continuous land-bridges between the islets and the mainland. These insular reptile populations require further study to establish the exact means of colonization and describe if and how they differ from mainland populations. We stress the importance of such small Mediterranean islets such as these as centers of unique biodiversity and encourage future study and conservation action aimed at them and similar islets.","PeriodicalId":48693,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Herpetology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42289866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Extraction of high quality RNA is a challenging step mainly in non-traditional organisms, and protocols for preservation and isolation need to be adjusted in many cases. In the present work, we aimed to develop a protocol for preservation and isolation of high-quality and quantity of RNA from blood and liver tissues of Caiman latirostris. Three preservation methods were tested: 1) flash freezing (LN2) and storage at –80°C; 2) RNAlater® conservation with progressive cooling up to –80°C); 3) preservation in TRIzol® reagent, flash freezing in LN2 and storage at –80°C. Methods 1 and 2 were tested for liver, while 2 and 3 for blood. Our results showed that both preservation methods resulted in excellent outcomes for liver samples. For blood samples however, TRIzol® preservation was an efficient procedure for adequate RNA quality, quantity, and integrity, while conservation in RNAlater® solution was inadequate in both quality and quantity for an optimal RNA extraction. Appropriate protocols were established for each tissue and are being used now for transcriptomic studies in this sentinel organism.","PeriodicalId":48693,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Herpetology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49009561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
