“…Borchers and Marcus [24] used DNA sequences from the nuclear wingless gene and anonymous nuclear loci identified by Randomly Amplified Fingerprinting (RAF) (a technique used to assess genetic diversity within populations [58][59][60] and gene flow between populations [61]) in addition to sequences from the mitochondrial COI gene. They identified 3 distinct populations of Junonia from Buenos Aires: one population with dark-coloured wings referred to as J. evarete flirtea [62] which Borchers and Marcus [24] suggested may correspond to J. wahlbergi and 2 light-coloured populations that correspond to J. genoveva hilaris and either a genetically disparate population of J. genoveva hilaris or an undescribed cryptic Junonia species.…”

Up to 9 described species of Junonia butterflies occur in the Americas, but authorities disagree due to species similarities, geographical and seasonal variability, and possible hybridization. In dispute is whether Caribbean Junonia are conspecific with South American species. Cytochrome oxidase I (COI) barcodes, wingless (wg) sequences, and Randomly Amplified Fingerprints (RAF) were studied to reveal Junonia population structure in French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, and Argentina. Phylogenetic analysis of COI recovered 2 haplotype groups, but most Junonia species can have either haplotype, so COI barcodes are ambiguous. Analysis of nuclear wingless alleles revealed geographic patterns but did not identify Junonia species. Nuclear RAF genotyping distinguished 11 populations of Junonia arranged into 3 clusters. Gene flow occurs within clusters but is limited between clusters. One cluster included all Argentinian samples. Two clusters included samples from French Guiana, Martinique, and Guadeloupe and appear to be divided by larval host plant use (Lamiales versus Scrophulariales). Many Junonia taxa were distributed across populations, possibly reflecting patterns of genetic exchange. We had difficulty distinguishing between the Caribbean forms J. zonalis and J. neildi, but we demonstrate that Caribbean Junonia are genetically distinct from South American J. evarete and J. genoveva, supporting the taxonomic hypothesis that they are heterospecific.

“…In recent years RAF has been sufficiently applied to value the genetic diversity and interpopulational relations in plants (Cunningham et al 2002;Ramage et al 2004;Nand et al 2005;Chan et al 2008;Kutsev et al 2013a, b;Kreshchenok et al 2016). For example, RAF supported to confirm the division of Cassia brewsteri (F.Muell.)…”

This article presents the results of population-genetic analysis in four populations of Tanacetum vulgare (typical tansy) from Southern Siberia on the basis of the Randomly Amplified DNA Fingerprints (RAF). We used RAF to find certain molecular-genetic differences between the typical tansy and the northern tansy. Since the present results did not show any clear differences between the typical tansy and the northern tansy at species level, we suggest that T. vulgare includes two subspecies: the typical T. vulgare subsp. vulgare and T. vulgare subsp. boreale.

“…The RAPD technique can be quickly and easily applied, requires only small amounts of DNA and allows detection of DNA polymorphisms reliably and inexpensively (FRITSCH & RIESEBERG, 1996;HARRIS, 1999). It has been successfully used in many genetic studies of avian population (e.g., BALL & AVISE, 1992;ZINK et al, 2000;HAIG et al, 2004;ZINK, 2004;CHAN et al, 2008;FUNK et al, 2008). For the Galliformes, RAPD markers have for example been successfully applied to detect hybridization among Mediterranean populations of different Alectoris partridges (NEGRO et al, 2001;BARBANERA et al, 2005;.…”

We used Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers to investigate the genetic structure of two populations of see-see partridge (Ammoperdix griseogularis, Galliformes) from the Suleiman range, in the Pakistani Himalayan region. The see-see partridge is a vulnerable species with a distribution in the Middle East and central Asia. The percentage of polymorphic bands (94.05%), Shannon Index (H = 0.455) and Nei’s average gene diversity (I = 0.298) of A. griseogularis at species level were rather high when compared with other avian species. 17% of polymorphic loci showed statistically significant differences in their allelic frequencies. The G (Nei’s coefficient of genetic variation) values indicated low levels of differentiation (G = 0.08). A genetic distance D of 0.05 indicated that both populations were to some degree in isolation but their differentiation was not significant. Overall, our genetic data can support action plans aiming to locally preserve differentiated genetic resources that, in the future, could potentially result in ecologically and behaviourally differentiated populations. In view of the rapid environmental changes that the Himalayan region has been experiencing in the last decade, this study could help in conservation plans.
