“…Mallards are much more variable than the other groups, as expected given their larger population sizes. Comparing our sequences with mallards from Kulikova et al (2005), we found only 3 mtDNA sequences that were similar between the two studies, mallard haplotypes B and F and a hybrid haplotype T. Therefore, the variation we found in mallards represents only a very small portion of their haplotype diversity.…”

“…Both of the haplotype lineage types are found in the California mallards-the A group, which has a holarctic distribution (McCracken et al 2001;Kulikova et al 2004Kulikova et al , 2005 and the B group, which was thought be confined to North America but has recently been found in eastern spotbilled ducks (A. zonorhyncha) and mallards in the Russian far east (Kulikova et al 2004(Kulikova et al , 2005.

“…We found that koloa mtDNA, similar to other monochromatic North American mallard species (i.e., mottled, American black, and Mexican ducks A. p. diazi), most likely diverged from the group B mallard lineage (Rhymer 2001;McCracken et al 2001;Kulikova et al 2004Kulikova et al , 2005.

“…Feather samples are less problematic than blood samples with respect to nuclear contamination (Sorenson and Quinn 1998), therefore, we used only feather samples to extract and sequence mtDNA. We examined all mtDNA sequence data derived from feather samples for ambiguous sequences and found no evidence to suggest that nuclear copy sequences were amplified-in all samples, mtDNA sequences were resolved unambiguously and corresponded closely with similar control region sequences reported for mallards by Kulikova et al (2005), see ''Results''.…”

Identification of endangered Hawaiian ducks (Anas wyvilliana), introduced North American mallards (A. platyrhynchos) and their hybrids using multilocus genotypes

Hawaiian ducks (Anas wyvilliana), or koloa, are endemic to the Hawaiian Islands and are listed as a federal and state endangered species. Hybridization between koloa and introduced mallards (A. platyrhynchos) is believed to be a primary threat to the recovery of koloa. We evaluated the utility of two sets of nuclear markers (microsatellite loci and amplified fragment length polymorphisms) and a variable portion of the mitochondrial DNA control region to distinguish among koloa, mallards, and hybrids. We show that microsatellite and AFLP markers can be used to distinguish between koloa and mallard-koloa hybrids with a high degree of confidence. For all but one of the putative koloa in our sample, the posterior probability of belonging to the koloa category was [0.90. Similarly all but one of the mallard-koloa hybrids were assigned to the hybrid category with posterior probabilities [0.98. Subsets of markers led to poorer resolution among koloa, mallard and hybrid categories. Among a sample of 61 koloa, hybrids and mallards, we found 25 different mtDNA haplotypes, belonging to two groups of haplotypes (A and B) identified previously in mallards and their relatives. All putative koloa samples exhibited group B haplotypes, of which 65% comprised one haplotype, while the rest were divided among four haplotypes. All Hawai'i mallard samples exhibited haplotypes that belonged to group A. Hybrids and California mallards exhibited haplotypes belonging to both groups, but a majority were of group A, suggesting that hybridization may more commonly involve mating between Hawai'i mallard females and koloa males.

“…The majority of high-latitude Holarctic species are associated with wetlands, or other open, nonforested habitats (Table 1). Recent studies reveal either little or no genetic differentiation between Nearctic and Palaearctic populations in several such species -the common raven (Corvus corax; Omland et al, 2000), peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus; Berlin & Ellegren, 2001), herring gull (Larus argentatus; Liebers et al, 2004), mallard (Anas platyrhynchos; Kulikova et al, 2005), gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus; Johnson et al, 2007), gadwall (Anas strepera; Peters et al, 2008), bank swallow (Riparia riparia; Pavlova et al, 2008), horned lark (Eremophila alpestris), willow ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus) and rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta; S.V. Drovetski et al, unpublished data) (for scientific nomenclature see Dickinson, 2003).…”

Aim Boreal forest bird species appear to be divided into lineages endemic to each northern continent, in contrast to Holarctic species living in open habitats. For example, the three-toed woodpecker (Picoides tridactylus) and the winter wren (Troglodytes troglodytes) have divergent Nearctic and Palaearctic mitochondrial DNA clades. Furthermore, in these species, the next closest relative of the Nearctic/Palaearctic sister lineages is the Nearctic clade, suggesting that the Palaearctic may have been colonized from the Nearctic. The aim of this study is to test this pattern of intercontinental divergence and colonization in another Holarctic boreal forest resident -the pine grosbeak (Pinicola enucleator). Location The Holarctic.Methods We sequenced the mitochondrial ND2 gene and Z-specific intron 9 of the ACO1 gene for 74 pine grosbeaks collected across the Holarctic. The sequences were used to reconstruct the phylogeographical history of this species using maximum likelihood analysis. ResultsWe discovered two distinct mitochondrial and Z-specific lineages in the Nearctic and one in the Palaearctic. The two Nearctic mtDNA lineages, one in the northern boreal forest and one in south-western mountain forest, were more closely related to each other than either was to the Palaearctic clade. Two Nearctic Z-chromosome clades were sympatric in the boreal and south-western mountain forests. Unlike the topology of the mtDNA tree, the relationship among the Z-chromosome clades was the same as in the three-toed woodpecker and winter wren [Nearctic (Nearctic, Palaearctic)]. The Palaearctic Z-chromosome clade had much lower genetic diversity and a single-peak mismatch distribution with a mean < 25% of that for either Nearctic region, both of which had ragged mismatch distributions.Main conclusions Our data suggest that, similar to the other boreal forest species, the pine grosbeak has divergent lineages in each northern continent and could have colonized the Palaearctic from the Nearctic. Compared with many Holarctic birds inhabiting open habitats, boreal forest species appear to be more differentiated, possibly because the boreal forests of the Nearctic and Palaearctic have been isolated since the Pliocene (3.5 Ma).

Resolving evolutionary relationships and establishing population structure depends on molecular diagnosability that is often limited for closely related taxa. Here, we use 3,200 ddRAD‐seq loci across 290 mallards, American black ducks, and putative hybrids to establish population structure and estimate hybridization rates. We test between traditional assignment probability and accumulated recombination events based analyses to assign hybrids to generational classes. For hybrid identification, we report the distribution of recombination events complements ADMIXTURE simulation by extending resolution past F4 hybrid status; however, caution against hybrid assignment based on accumulated recombination events due to an inability to resolve F1 hybrids. Nevertheless, both analyses suggest that there are relatively few backcrossed stages before a lineage's hybrid ancestry is lost and the offspring are effectively parental again. We conclude that despite high rates of observed interspecific hybridization between mallards and black ducks in the middle part of the 20th century, our results do not support the predicted hybrid swarm. Conversely, we report that mallard samples genetically assigned to western and non‐western clusters. We indicate that these non‐western mallards likely originated from game‐farm stock, suggesting landscape level gene flow between domestic and wild conspecifics.
