“…Thus VNTR-loci should quickly reestablish the reduced variation. Due to the high variability VNTR-loci are considered to be excellent markers for population studies on otherwise genetically deprived species (Kuhnlein et al 1989, Gilbert et al 1990, Bruford et al 1992. For the marmots they could be used to estimate the divergence of populations and to determine the possible origin of colonizers.…”

The present distribution of the Alpine marmot Marmota m. marmota (Linnaeus, 1758) in Austria, the historical range during the Pleistocene, and recent efforts of re-introduction were documented. Autochthonous populations inhabit a continuous range extending over the western part of the Austrian Alps. Non-autochthonous populations occur in a more fragmented area of partly isolated massifs in the east. The non-autochthonous populations were generated by the release of only a few founder individuals (median = 5). The impact of founder effects and migration barriers on the structure of the disjunct non-autochthonous populations is confirmed by the genetic analysis of allozymes and VNTR-loci. Whereas autochthonous populations are characterized by high genetic similarity and common polymorphisms, the non-autochthonous populations exhibit a more patchy pattern of variation caused by founder effects and subsequent drift. From the relationships indicated by the VNTR-patterns it appears possible to infer the putative origin of the founder individuals. In previous allozyme studies the genetic variability was found to be reduced with the exception of two widespread polymorphisms at the loci Pep-1 and Sod-1. A parasitological survey shows that Pep-1 genotypes differ in their degree of infestation by endoparasites (Citellina alpina and Ctenotaenia marmotae) indicating that this polymorphism may be maintained by selective forces.

“…And then, DUNNINGTON et al (1990) developed 'population DNA fingerprinting' using pooled DNA from random samples of individuals within a population. DFP has been used for identification of individuals (GILL et al, 1985 ;JEFFLREYS et al, 1985 a, b ;BURKE and BRUFORD, 1987), linkage analysis (JEFFREYS et al, 1986 ;GEORGES et al, 1990), assessment of genetic distance between populations in domestic animal (KUHNLEIN et al, 1989 ;DUNNINGTON et al, 1991 ;HABERFELD et al, 1992 ;YAMASHITA et al, 1994) and estimation of relative genetic variability in natural populations (WETTON et al, 1987 ;GILBERT et al, 1990).…”

In the present study, genomic DNA was prepared from dried chicken blood sample and subsequently used for analyzing DNA fingerprinting (DFP) of native and Red jungle fowl in the South Pacific Islands.These chicken genomic DNAs were sufficient in quantity and purity for multiple DFP analyses, and chicken blood could be stored for up to 3 months without physical degradation under dry condition. The DFP analyses were carried out by individual and population DFP. Similarities of DFP patterns and genetic distances among fowls in Fiji and Western Samoa were estimated using band sharing (BS) value and the mean number of nucleotide substitutions per nucleotide site, respectively.The results of population DFP were under the influence of data in individual DFP. From the BS values and genetic distances, the native fowls in five different islands of Fiji and Western Samoa could be distinguished in each island, and the difference was consistent with geographical distribution.Fijian and Western Samoan native fowls were found to form two separate groups.The Red jungle fowls in Fiji islands were closely related to each other, but were found to be related remotely to Red jungle fowls in Kagoshima University.Therefore, DFP analysis can be used to estimate relative genetic variability and to reconstruct the evolutionary relationships in small populations genetically isolated.(Jpn. Poult. Sci., 34 : 9-20, 1997)

“…While the sample size was small and the data have to be considered with caution, these values are likely to reflect a significant degree of inbreeding in these captive populations. It has been shown in chicken (Kuhnlein et a!., 1989), California Channel Island foxes Urocyon littoralis (Gilbert et a!., 1990), and naked mole-rats Heterocephalus glaber (Reeve et al, 1990) that low levels of variability in multilocus fingerprints reflect elevated levels of inbreeding. Such a situation also occurred in our Indian peafowl pedigree, where the parents shared around 80 per cent of their bands for both multilocus probes and where the offspring showed an identical DNA fingerprint with multilocus probe 33.6.…”

Multilocus DNA fingerprints in gallinaceous birds: general approach and problems

1992

Multilocus profiles were investigated in five different species of Galliformes (ring-necked pheasant Phasianus colchicus, Indian peafowl Pavo cristatus, Japanese quail Coturnix coturnix japonica, domestic chicken Gallus gal/us, and red grouse Lagopus lagopus scoticus) using two human multilocus probes (33.6 and 33.15) in combination with each of four restriction enzymes (A/uI, DdeI, HaeHI or Hinfl). All the species show a DNA fingerprint-like pattern using at least one restriction enzyme in combination with each multilocus probe. The number of bands detected and the value of the index of similarity for each species differ significantly between the profiles obtained with each multilocus probe. Some enzyme/probe combinations reveal strong cross-hybridization of the multilocus probes with satellite or satellite-like DNA sequences in pheasant, peacock, quail and chicken, which partially or completely prevented scoring of the profile. The choice of restriction enzyme was found to influence the number of bands, the value of the index of similarity and the probability of obtaining an identical fingerprint between unrelated individuals. The Mendelian inheritance and independent segregation of the fragments detected using AluI was investigated in three species (ring-necked pheasant, Indian peafowl and red grouse). Some bands were shown to be tightly linked. An extreme case was encountered in the red grouse, where 12 of the 15 bands scored in one parent represented only two, apparently allelic, haplotypes and so derived from a single locus. However, fingerprint patterns will often be adequate for use in paternity analyses, such as in behavioural studies, despite the occurrence of haplotypic sets of bands. Identical DNA multilocus profiles were sometimes observed between captive-bred siblings in one species. These results emphasize the desirability of determining, in each new species, the optimal experimental conditions as a preliminary to any behavioural or population genetic studies that use the multilocus DNA fingerprinting methodology.
