Abstract:

Interactions between evolutionary forces such as natural selection, genetic drift and gene flow are complex. Natural selection can lead to parallel formation of phenotypes under similar environmental conditions. Phylogenetic relationships can be inferred from the accumulation of genetic variation caused by genetic drift, regardless of phenotypes. Gene flow between populations can sometimes facilitate the formation of species by natural selection. In this thesis, two groups of marine snails in the diverse subfamily Littorininae were studied. The three rocky-shore species Littorina saxatilis, Li

Abstract:

Abstract Many waders are in decline, and the number of endangered species and populations is increasing. Their protection and management requires knowledge of both ecological and genetic state of the populations. In this thesis, I studied the distribution-wide genetic variation, structure and phylogeography of the Temminck’s Stint (Calidris temminckii) and Terek Sandpiper (Xenus cinereus) using microsatellites and sequence data from the mitochondrial control region and cytochrome oxidase I gene. I compared these regionally endangered species to other waders with varying evolutionary histories,

Abstract Mitochondrial DNA sequences were used to study the phylogeny, population structure and colonisation history of Parus species. The phylogenetic relationships of seven European and three American species were examined by sequencing a part of the cytochrome b gene. Phylogenetically the closest species were the great tit (Parus major) and the blue tit (P. caeruleus). Subgenus Poecile was divided into two clades, one consisting of the Siberian tit (P. cinctus), the Carolina chickadee (P. carolinensis) and the Black-capped chickadee (P. atricapillus) and the other consisting of the marsh

Abstract:

Gene flow is a central evolutionary force that largely determines the level of differentiation among populations of organisms and thus their potential for divergence from each other. Identifying key factors that influence gene flow among populations or closely related taxa can thus provide valuable insights into how new species arise and are maintained. I undertook a comparative study of the factors that have shaped range-wide intraspecific differentiation in four related and broadly co-distributed Taiwanese bat species of the genera Murina and Kerivoula. Bats were sampled from sites across Ta

Abstract:

This thesis is a phylogeographic investigation into plant species from Patagonia, and aims to infer their past distributions from the study of genealogical lineages. These species have gone through several events such as glacial periods, volcanism and topographical change which are expected to contribute to the divergence of genetic lineages by shaping distributions, isolating populations and therefore changing their genetic structure. So understanding how these processes have affected populations is important to get information on how the biodiversity in the region has been assembled, to iden

This thesis investigates evolutionary patterns of variation in endemic amphibians from the Seychelles archipelago.

The introduction (Chapter 1) discusses the importance of islands in the study of evolution and examines patterns of intraspecific variation that have been reported in other Seychelles organisms.

The two populations meet in three places and the main contact zone is situated in Northern Finland.

Durvillaea, a kelp genus occurring only in the Southern Hemisphere, presents an ideal system for studies of marine connectivity and postglacial recolonisation. Durvillaea contains five currently-recognised species, four of which are non-buoyant.

A total of 12 haplotypes were genotyped for mtDNA D-loop gene and 17 haplotypes were genotyped for mtDNA cytochrome b gene in 90 specimens. Three major phylogenetic haplotype groups were revealed via phylogenetic analysis. Population differentiation analyses indicated significant gene

博士<br>國立成功大學<br>生命科學系碩博士班<br>96<br>Nucleotide sequences of the D-loop control region of mtDNA were used to assess the genetic structure and phylogeography of Hemibarbus labeo in Mainland China and Taiwan. A hierarchical analysis of molecular variance of populations in 11 major streams from three geographical regions revealed significant structuring among populations and among geographical regions. High levels of nucleotide diversity (π= 1.88%) and haplotype diversity (h= 0.96 ± 0.009) suggested a large effective population size. A neighbor-joining tree based on the mtDNA variation identified t
