As sexing monomorphic species is difficult, in this study we aimed to determine the degree of sexual size dimorphism in song thrushes migrating across the southern Baltic coast, and to develop reliable sexing criteria for future studies of this species. We ringed, measured and took blood samples of song thrushes at the Polish coast. Then we used molecular techniques to determine the sex of ringed individuals and to calculate functions from morphometrics for sexing birds from different age groups. Our results showed a degree of size dimorphism between sexes, more pronounced in adults than in immatures. Dimorphism was clearest in the size of the vestigial outermost primary, which was longer in females despite their smaller size, a likely result of different selection pressures during the breeding season. Differences between sexes were greater in adults than immatures, probably because the immatures are not exposed to selection pressures acting on older birds during migration and breeding. We developed equations allowing to estimate sex correctly of 81.5% of adults in spring and 81% in autumn, and of 63.3% immatures in spring and 63.6% in autumn. Thus, the equation for adults can be used with confidence, while those for immatures with caution.","PeriodicalId":50968,"journal":{"name":"Annales Zoologici Fennici","volume":"57 1","pages":"31 - 40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42042877","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}

As it is hard to identify the insect host species directly, one approach to deal with this issue is to identify it by means of molecular analysis from puparia left within plant organs after wasps emerge. Unfortunately, current barcoding methods are either too expensive or too inefficient for mass species identification. Here, we present a protocol that is comparatively inexpensive and rapid. It includes two major modifications in the barcoding process. One is to use a modified Chelex DNA extraction method, which performed best in PCR amplification and was the least costly and time-consuming among four candidate methods. The other is to use general PCR primers for the host taxon, which had the highest sequencing success rate when coupled with the Chelex DNA extraction method. Our protocol proved to be successful in identifying the hosts (i.e., tephritid fly species) of parasitoid wasps in a Tibetan alpine meadow. The protocol can be widely used for mass identification of insect host species from puparia tissues to facilitate the studies on host–parasitoid interactions.","PeriodicalId":50968,"journal":{"name":"Annales Zoologici Fennici","volume":"57 1","pages":"11 - 19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45561384","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}

Fluctuations can affect the ecological and evolutionary processes that make species more successful competitors. For example, fluctuating conditions can create selection pressures for traits that are profitable in adaptation to fast climate change. On an ecological timescale, environmental fluctuations can facilitate species competitive success by reducing other species' population sizes. Climate change could then enhance species invasions into new areas if fluctuation-adapted invaders displace their native competitors in chancing environments. We tested experimentally whether fast environmental fluctuations, either past (on an evolutionary timescale) or present (on an ecological timescale) affect species competitive success. Bacteria that evolved in either constant or fluctuating temperature were set to compete with the dominant invader Serratia marcescens, which had also evolved in either constant or fluctuating temperature. Moreover, the competition experiments were conducted in environments with similarly constant or fluctuating thermal conditions. The results showed that temperature fluctuations during competition, i.e. on an ecological timescale, made the invader more successful. Surprisingly, we found that the invaders' or its competitor species' evolution in fluctuating environments did not affect the outcome of the competition. Our study highlights the importance of the present environmental fluctuations in promoting species' competitive success and potentially facilitating biological invasions.","PeriodicalId":50968,"journal":{"name":"Annales Zoologici Fennici","volume":"57 1","pages":"79 - 87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44752640","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}

We used newly designed primers to specifically amplify the whole mitochondrial cytochrome-b region and two nuclear DNA regions. Based on the most comprehensive taxonomic sampling to date, we compared this population with several other European blind mole-rat taxa. The results from both mitochondrial and nuclear regions have unequivocally placed the Albertirsa population into the monophyletic group of the Vojvodina blind mole rat (N. (leucodon) montanosyrmiensis), which turned out to be a sister clade to all other molecularly studied European Nannospalax. This study not only identified the fourth known population of an extremely rare rodent taxon but also calls for a taxonomic revision of European lesser blind mole rats (N. leucodon superspecies) to systematically evaluate the genetic structure of their populations and to understand the complex evolutionary history of these European rodents. The occurrence of the Vojvodina blind mole rat at this northern location helps to clarify the distribution area of this heavily data-deficient taxon. As currently understood, this lineage predominantly occurs in sandy grasslands of the Danube–Tisza Interfluve in Hungary and Serbia. Its distribution range and phylogenetic structure might reflect the importance of potential biogeographical barriers (e.g. large rivers) that shaped the blind mole rats' allopatric or peripatric speciation.","PeriodicalId":50968,"journal":{"name":"Annales Zoologici Fennici","volume":"57 1","pages":"89 - 98"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42622752","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}
