The influence of forest fragmentation on clonal diversity and genetic structure inHeliconia angusta, an endemic understorey herb of the Brazilian Atlantic rain forest

Abstract: Abstract:Fragmented populations are usually exposed to the negative effects of reduced gene flow, genetic drift and population differentiation. These effects result in the collective loss of genetic variation, thereby reducing the probability of population adaptation to new environmental conditions and increasing the risk of extinction. Forest fragments commonly exhibit suboptimal site conditions, which can result in enhanced clonal reproduction, and a potential reduction in clonal diversity due to increased s… Show more

“…We applied the same DNA extraction and AFLP procedure as described in Stein et al . (), except for the selection of primers. For the selective amplification, ten different primer combinations were tested on 15 samples for their level of variability, resulting in four primer combinations chosen to fingerprint all samples: 5′‐EcoRI+AAG*FAM‐3′/5′‐MseI+CTT‐3′, 5′‐EcoRI+AGC*HEX‐3′/5′‐MseI+CTT‐3′, 5′‐EcoRI+AAG*FAM‐3′/5′‐MseI+CAC‐3′ and 5′‐EcoRI+AGC*HEX‐3′/5′‐MseI+CAC‐3′.…”

“…DNA was extracted from dried leaf tissue using the CTAB method (Doyle and Doyle 1987) modified to ATMAB (using alkyltrimethylammonium bromide in place of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide to increase DNA quantity and quality; see Dumolin et al 1995). A detailed protocol for ATMAB can be found in Stein et al (2014). Individuals were genotyped at 12 nuclear microsatellite loci that had been previously identified and used for population genetic studies of C. canadensis (Okada et al 2013) following the procedures and PCR settings as described therein.…”

“…Besides polyploidy, asexual propagation can help to avoid loss of genetic diversity during demographic bottlenecks (Cosendai et al 2013;Stein et al 2014). Moreover, there are species that became invasive despite exhibiting strong reductions of genetic diversity in the non-native range (reviewed in Uller and Leimu 2011).…”
