Abstract

Abstract The illegal trade is a major threat to many bird species, and parrots are common victims of this activity. Domestic and international pet markets are interested on different parrot species, such as the Blue-and-yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna). This South American macaw is not globally threatened, but is under protection from over-exploitation. This study aimed to identify and characterize novel microsatellite loci for population and parentage analysis of A. ararauna. Scaffold sequences of Ara macao available in the NCBI database were used for microsatellite searches using MsatCommander software. We tested a total of 28 loci, from which 25 were polymorphic, one was monomorphic, and two did not generated amplification products. For polymorphic loci, the mean number of alleles was 8.24 (4 – 15 alleles per locus), the observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.333 to 0.917, and the expected heterozygosity from 0.353 to 0.890. The paternity exclusion probability and identity probability were highly discriminatory. Thus, these novel microsatellite markers can be useful for population assignment and paternity tests, helping the authorities to manage macaws from the illegal trafficking and control commercial breeders.

Abstract

The Red-cowled Cardinal (Paroaria dominicana) is an endemic passerine of the Caatinga biome in Brazil, and is one of the most traded passerines in the country. Illegal trade can have serious impacts on wild populations, such as reduced population sizes, the introduction of the species to areas outside their historical range or mixing individuals from different populations. Microsatellites constitute an important tool for population genetics and forensics studies, and hold great potential to help authorities manage illegal trafficking and inspect commercial breeders. We developed new microsatellite loci using massive parallel sequencing and characterized them in 23 seized Red-cowled Cardinals with unknown geographic origin. The DNA sequencing generated 2,068,684 paired-reads of which we identified 10,322 tri- to hexanucleotide loci. We selected 30 loci for amplification and polymorphism tests, of which 21 successfully amplified and 19 were polymorphic. The number of alleles ranged from 7 to 18 and the mean expected heterozygosity was 0.863. Six loci deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium probably due to null alleles and/or the Wahlund effect. Polymorphic loci in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium showed low identity probability and high paternity exclusion probability. Our results indicate that this new set of microsatellite loci constitutes an important tool for both population genetic and forensic studies, with ultimate potential for assisting authorities in managing animal victims of illegal trafficking and the inspection of commercial breeders of the Red-cowled Cardinal.

Abstract

Parrots are among the most threatened avian groups of the world, with illegal pet trade being a major threat to some Amazon (Amazona genus) and macaw (Ara and Anodorhynchus genera) species. Population genetic studies and effective control of commercial breeders are important actions for the conservation of these parrot species; however, few microsatellite loci are available for most Amazona species to date. In this study, 25 polymorphic microsatellite loci were identified in silico and characterized for the Blue-fronted Amazon [Amazona aestiva (Aa)]. Loci were tested in 24 Blue-fronted Amazons from wild population from central Brazil with cross-species amplified in two individuals of Amazona vinacea (Av) and Amazona pretrei (Ap) from northeastern Minas Gerais and Rio Grande do Sul, in southeastern and south of Brazil, respectively. The number of alleles per locus for Aa ranged from 5 to 24 with an average of 13.1. Twenty-four and 25 loci were successfully amplified for Av and Ap, respectively. The observed and expected heterozygosities for Aa ranged from 0.27 to 1.00 and from 0.35 to 0.94, with averages of 0.75 and 0.85, respectively. Nine loci significantly deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium after Bonferroni correction (likely due to null alleles) and no significant linkage disequilibrium between loci pairs was detected. The combined paternity exclusion probability was very high, and the probability of identity was extremely low. This new set of microsatellite loci will be useful for analyzing population genetic structure and making conservation and management decisions, as well as for parentage analysis and the control of commercial breeding of Aa and potentially other Amazona species.

Abstract

Phyllomys is the most species-rich genus among spiny tree rats of the family Echimyidae and includes members widely distributed throughout the Atlantic Forest of South America. Among recognized species recovered in previous studies, 4 lineages are unnamed and their taxonomic distinctness needs further investigation. Biogeographic analyses recovered an Amazonian ancestor of the basal lineage leading to living Phyllomys, suggesting ancient connections between the 2 largest South American rainforests, and presence of rainforest corridors within the central Brazilian dry biomes. Based on exhaustive taxonomic sampling of Phyllomys, applying multigene phylogenetic methods, and morphological and karyological data, we described a new species of Phyllomys from central Brazil. Geographical records from the center of the Cerrado biome of central Brazil indicate an unexpected location for the distribution of the genus, given the contrast between the physical and biological characteristics of the Cerrado and Atlantic Forest habitats. Contrary to previous studies, the analysis of the ancestral geographic range performed here suggests a Cerrado ancestral distribution for Phyllomys during the late Miocene. This result favors the hypothesis of a past link between the Amazon and Atlantic Forest in central Brazil, through the region occupied today by the dry Cerrado, and that forest expansions and contractions may have occurred in Brazilian dry biomes over the course of the Tertiary.

Abstract

Brazil is one of the major contributors to international trade in wildlife and species of the bird genus Sporophila are currently under threat due to illegal trade. Microsatellite loci and mitochondrial DNA constitute important molecular markers for population genetics studies and parentage analyses, and hold great potential to help authorities manage illegal trafficking and control commercial breeders. We describe and characterize 19 polymorphic microsatellite loci and recover part of the mitochondrial genome for Sporophila angolensis using massive parallel sequencing with the Illumina platform. DNA sequencing resulted in a dataset with 2,379,295 paired reads, of which 392 were mapped to the mitogenome of S. maximiliani, resulting in a partial mitogenome of 16,785 bp for S. angolensis. The microsatellite search identified a total of 4737 loci, from which 27 primer pairs were tested on 24 individuals of unknown geographic origin. Nineteen of the 27 loci were successfully amplified and exhibited high levels of genetic variation, with a mean of 11.2 alleles per locus, a mean observed heterozygosity of 0.588 and a mean expected heterozygosity of 0.852. About half of the loci showed significant evidence for the presence of a null allele and significant deviation from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium; the remaining eight loci had high paternity exclusion probabilities and low identity probabilities. The high levels of polymorphism for these loci, as well as their high paternity exclusion probability and low identity probability, indicate that they hold potential for parentage analyses and population genetics studies of S. angolensis.

Abstract

Leishmaniasis is kept in nature by the participation of several animal species. This study evaluated the presence of Leishmania spp. in skin samples of free-ranging marsupials Micoureus paraguayanus (n = 95) and Didelphis albiventris (n = 191), captured in Morro do Diabo State Park and in sections of its surrounding forest, in the region of Pontal do Paranapanema, Sao Paulo State, Brazil. The samples were tested for the presence of kDNA of Leishmania spp. by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and by real time PCR (qPCR). All samples from D. albiventris tested by PCR were negative for the presence of kDNA of Leishmania spp. However, when tested by qPCR, the positivity was 1.6%. A positivity of 7.4% by PCR and 11.6% by qPCR was observed for M. paraguayanus. Sixty-four per cent (9/14) of positive animals were limited to the same forest fragment. Presence of Leishmania (Leishmania) amazonensis and Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis was detected in M. paraguayanus samples. While D. albiventris is the most studied marsupial species due to its urban habits, other marsupial species such as M. paraguayanus can be potential reservoirs of Leishmania spp. and should also be studied.

8. Molecular phylogenetic position of endangered Wilfredomys within Sigmodontinae (Cricetidae) based on mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences and comments on Wiedomyini

Abstract

Wilfredomys, a monotypic genus of endangered sigmodontine rats, was historically related to the tribe Thomasomyini or considered "incertae sedis". Given no molecular data is available for Wilfredomys, the phylogenetic position of this taxon is uncertain in relation to modern, molecular hypotheses of sigmodontine relationships. We investigate the phylogeny of Wilfredomys to provide a hypothesis of its position within Sigmodontinae based on nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequences. Bayesian and maximum likelihood phylogenetic analyses recovered Wilfredomys oenax as sister to Wiedomys pyrrhorhinos, and Wie. cerradensis fell out sister to this clade. At the genus level, Phaenomys is sister to Wilfredomys + Wiedomys, forming a novel and well-supported sigmodontine clade. Our results suggest that tribe Wiedomyini should encompass Wilfredomys in addition to Wiedomys and Cholomys, thus the hypothesis that Wiedomys is paraphyletic should be investigated further. Another plausible classification scheme consistent with our results would be to expand Wiedomyini to encompass the clade composed of Phaenomys + Wilfredomys + Wiedomys. Last, our recovery of an "Atlantic clade" composed of lineages restricted to eastern South America supports the idea that this region has likely played an important role in sigmodontine diversification.

Abstract

Ten microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized from the spiny-rat (Clyomy bishopi), a medium-size Neotropical rodent that inhabits some of the last remaining savannas from Sao Paulo state, Brazil. Between 5 and 17 alleles were detected per locus, with expected heterozygosity ranging from 0.605 to 0.921. All but one locus were found to be in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, and no linkage disequilibrium was detected among pairs of loci. These microsatellites should provide useful markers in genetic studies including parentage analyses and determining genetic and social structure of populations.

Abstract

Wilfredomys, a monotypic genus of endangered sigmodontine rats, was historically related to the tribe Thomasomyini or considered "incertae sedis". Given no molecular data is available for Wilfredomys, the phylogenetic position of this taxon is uncertain in relation to modern, molecular hypotheses of sigmodontine relationships. We investigate the phylogeny of Wilfredomys to provide a hypothesis of its position within Sigmodontinae based on nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequences. Bayesian and maximum likelihood phylogenetic analyses recovered Wilfredomys oenax as sister to Wiedomys pyrrhorhinos, and Wie. cerradensis fell out sister to this clade. At the genus level, Phaenomys is sister to Wilfredomys + Wiedomys, forming a novel and well-supported sigmodontine clade. Our results suggest that tribe Wiedomyini should encompass Wilfredomys in addition to Wiedomys and Cholomys, thus the hypothesis that Wiedomys is paraphyletic should be investigated further. Another plausible classification scheme consistent with our results would be to expand Wiedomyini to encompass the clade composed of Phaenomys + Wilfredomys + Wiedomys. Last, our recovery of an "Atlantic clade" composed of lineages restricted to eastern South America supports the idea that this region has likely played an important role in sigmodontine diversification.

Abstract

Este estudo avaliou os padrões que determinam a distribuição espacial entre as espécies simpátricas Mazama americana e Mazama nana ao longo do Parque Nacional do Iguaçu, sob os princípios da exclusão competitiva e da coexistência de espécies ecologicamente próximas. Foram formulados três potenciais modelos de partição de habitats para avaliar as relações entre a freqüência de ocorrências de cada uma das espécies com um conjunto de sete variáveis bióticas e abióticas mensuradas junto a cada unidade amostral. As ocorrências dos animais foram determinadas pela localização de amostras de fezes (unidades amostrais) encontradas ao longo do parque. As amostras foram identificadas geneticamente pela técnica do PCR/RFLP, com um marcador espécie-específico do gene do citocromo b do DNA mitocondrial extraído das amostras. No Modelo de Partição Parapátrica as freqüências de cada espécie (variável dependente) foram comparadas em função da altitude (m) acima do nível do mar, utilizada como indicativo dos tipos florestais considerados nesse modelo. No Modelo de Seleção Diferencial de Nichos, as espécies foram contrastadas com os valores de declividade (%), altura de dossel (m), densidade de cobertura vegetal vertical (%), densidade de cobertura horizontal (%) e o número de estratos vegetais (1-5). No Modelo de Partição Temporal, foram comparados os padrões de atividade de ambas as espécies, resultantes de um monitoramento com armadilhas fotográficas realizado nos extremos altitudinais do parque. Resultados significativamente discriminantes das freqüências de ocorrência das espécies foram observados em relação à altitude, densidade de cobertura vertical, horizontal e ao número de estratos vegetais, além de uma relação parcial com a declividade. A correlação observada entre a altitude e as variáveis de nicho (declividade, densidade vertical e horizontal) sugere um papel mais determinante do Modelo de Distribuição Parapátrica na modulação da distribuição de ambas as espécies na área em detrimento da Seleção Diferencial de Nichos. Na ausência de diferenças significativas entre os padrões circadianos de ambas as espécies, o Modelo de Partição Temporal também foi rejeitado. Uma análise adicional das dimensões (comprimento e largura) das síbalas fecais revelou uma grande sobreposição dos valores de ambas as espécies, rejeitando a validade de sua utilização como ferramenta para uma correta identificação dessas espécies na região. This study evaluated the determinant patterns of spatial distribution among the sympatric species Mazama americana and Mazama nana in the Iguaçu National Park under the principles of competitive exclusion and coexistence of ecologically related species. Three potential models of habitat partition were proposed to evaluate the relations among the occurrence frequencies of the species and a set of seven biotic and abiotic variables measured near of each sample unit. Animal occurrences were determined by the location of fecal samples (sample units) found along the park. Samples were genetically identified by PCR/RFLP technique, using a species-specific cytochrome b gene marker of the mitochondrial DNA extracted from fecal samples. In the Parapatric Partition Model, frequencies of each species (dependant variable) were compared with respect to the altitude (m) above the sea level, used here as an index of the two forest types considered in this model. In the Niche Differential Selection Model, species were contrasted under its values of declivity (%), canopy height (m), canopy density (%), understory density (%) and the number of vegetal strata (1-5). In the Temporal Partition Model, the activity patterns obtained from a camera trap monitoring performed in both height extremes of the park were compared among the species. Significant results for differentiation of the species occurrence frequencies were observed for altitude, canopy and understory densities and number of vegetal strata, beyond a partial relation to declivity. An observed correlation between altitude and some of the niche variables (declivity, canopy and understory densities) suggests a more determinant role of the Parapatric Distribution Model to modulate the local distribution of both species, in detriment of the Niche Differential Selection one. The lack of significant differences between both daily activity patterns lead to the rejection of the Temporal Partition Model. An additional analysis of the fecal pellet dimensions (length and width) showed a high overlap of values from both species, refusing the validity of its use as secure identification tool for this species in the region.
