Despite this gene family's importance to disease resistance, little is known about these genes in reptiles including snakes. To address this issue, we assembled and annotated a highly-contiguous genome assembly for the timber rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus), a pit viper which is threatened or endangered in parts of its range, and analyzed this new genome along with three other rattlesnake genomes to characterize snake MHC loci. We identified highly-duplicated MHC class I and class IIβ genes in all species typified by a genomic architecture of discrete gene clusters localized on chromosome 2. Number of loci varied between species from 14 to 23 for MHC I and from 8 to 32 for MHC IIβ and was greater than previously identified in the few non-genome-based studies of reptile MHC to date. We present evidence of the gene family's complex evolutionary history, with extensive duplication and loss concurrent with speciation resulting in incomplete lineage sorting. The differences in gene number between species combined with a dynamic evolutionary history suggests that gene family expansion/contraction via rapid duplication/gene loss may represent an important mechanism for generating genetic diversity in rattlesnake MHC. Our work demonstrates the utility of whole genome sequences for identifying functional genetic variation in the form of MHC genes relevant for conservation genomic studies in threatened snakes.","PeriodicalId":54811,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Heredity","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142866480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bats comprise almost a fifth of all mammals and contribute greatly to ecosystem. However, due to the nocturnal and elusive habits, it is difficult to obtain the accurate census population size of a rare bat species and assess its conservation status. Here, we generate a chromosome-level genome assembly for the king horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus rex) and assess its conservation status by comparing the genome-wide summary statistics to other related species. The genome assembly size was 2.1 Gb (contig N50: 75.26 Mb) and 99.9% of the total sequences were anchored onto 30 autosomes, X and Y chromosomes. Despite lower genome-wide heterozygosity and recent inbreeding, R. rex did not exhibit higher genetic load comparing to the other two Rhinolophus species. Historical demography analysis revealed that R. rex maintained a long term (~2 million years) stable population size (~150,000). In the future whole-genome sequencing data from more individuals will be needed to comprehensively assess the conservation status at recent timescales. We also reconstructed the ancestral karyotype of Rhinolophus as 2n=54 and found that Robertsonian fissions and fusions were the main mechanism of chromosomal rearrangements in this genus. Overall, our study shows important implications of reference-quality genomes in both conservation genomics and comparative genomics.","PeriodicalId":54811,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Heredity","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142830839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we describe a methodology for identifying and genotyping thousands of SNP loci in the southern damselfly (Coenagrion mercuriale), a bioindicator of freshwater stream quality classified as near-threatened, with locally declining populations. We used a hybrid approach combining reduced representation sequencing and target enrichment. First, we identified putative SNP loci using ddRADseq and de novo assembly. Then, single primer enrichment technology targeted 6,000 of these SNPs across 1,920 individuals. Challenges encountered included sequence recapture failure, coverage depth discrepancies, and aberrant FIS values. We provide recommendations to address such issues. After multiple filtering steps, 2,092 SNPs were retained and used to analyse the genetic structure of 131 individuals belonging to 11 populations in France, comparing central and marginal populations. Genetic differentiation was lower among central populations, with no sign of inbreeding. As compared to microsatellite loci, SNPs exhibited greater resolution in detecting fine-scaled genetic structure, identifying putative hybrids in adjacent populations. In this study, we emphasise the difficulties of large-scale SNP genotyping in non-model species via a hybrid method that ultimately did not offer the expected cost and time saving compared to classical ddRAD approaches. However, SNPs showed greater power than previously available markers in identifying conservation units or admixture events, and the panel of reusable probes we describe here offers the potential to improve conservation efforts through future diachronic studies or finer estimations of key parameters like effective population size.","PeriodicalId":54811,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Heredity","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142808311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some habitat generalists, such as bobcats (Lynx rufus), maintain populations at the intersection of wild and urban habitats (wildland urban interface, WUI), but impacts of urbanization on bobcat social structure are not well understood. Although commonly thought to establish exclusive home ranges among females, instances of mother-daughter home range sharing have been documented. We combined GPS localities with genomic relatedness inferences from double-digest restriction site associated DNA sequencing (ddRADseq) to investigate mother-daughter home range sharing in bobcats (n = 38) at the WUI in the Tucson Mountains, Arizona, USA. We found the highest relatedness among females, which showed stronger isolation by distance than males and the population as a whole. Using mother-daughter relationships inferred from pedigree reconstruction, we found extensive mother-daughter home range sharing, compared to other females. Every mother identified as having at least one daughter, shared home ranges with one daughter, while other confirmed daughters established adjacent home ranges. Our results provide substantial support for the mother-daughter home range sharing hypothesis, as well as evidence of spatiotemporal overlap between mothers and daughters, adding to the body of research complicating the solitary felid paradigm. These results additionally challenge the notion of home range partitioning by prior rights land tenure, suggesting a role of matrilineal land tenure in home range establishment of daughters. Habitat fragmentation due to human population growth and urbanization thus has the potential to alter landscape genetic structure and social dynamics in bobcats.","PeriodicalId":54811,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Heredity","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142830841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Significant differences in evolutionary rates were found between autosomal, Z-specific, and pseudoautosomal genes of Furcifer chameleons.

Here we investigate the molecular basis of plumage polymorphism in both adult and juvenile black sparrowhawks (Accipiter melanoleucus), an African raptor that occurs in two adult colour morphs, light and dark, and also exhibits variation in juvenile plumage colouration. Our results confirmed that plumage differences in adult morphs were a result of differential deposition of eumelanin in their ventral contour feathers. No polymorphisms in the coding regions of the MC1R or the agouti signalling protein (ASIP) genes associated with adult colour morph were identified. However, lack of pigmentation in the developing breast feathers of light morph birds was strongly associated with elevated ASIP expression, and concomitant down-regulation of the downstream melanogenesis genes microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF), tyrosinase (TYR) and tyrosinase-related protein 1 (TYRP1). Variation in the rufous coloured plumage of juveniles was found to be due to covariation in eumelanin and pheomelanin levels in dorsal and ventral contour feathers. As in adult birds, an inverse relationship between melanin pigmentation and ASIP expression was observed. This covariation between eumelanin and pheomelanin levels is not consistent with the pigment type-switching model of melanogenesis, where increased ASIP expression results in a switch from eumelanin to pheomelanin production. This highlights the need for caution when extrapolating results from model systems to other animals and the value of conducting research in wild species.","PeriodicalId":54811,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Heredity","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142649486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
