Mitochondrial haplotypes and microsatellite genotypes for grass and water snakes of the genus Natrix: A range-wide resource (Squamata, Natricidae)

Andrea Criado‐Flórez, Marika Asztalos, Carolin Kindler, Adrian Neumann et autres

Grass and water snakes of the genus Natrix are a dominant component of the Palaearctic reptile fauna, with a broad distribution ranging from North Africa across much of Europe to Lake Baikal in Central Asia. As part of a series of studies …

Saprininae: Phylogeny, biogeography and a new classification of the subfamily (Coleoptera: Histeridae)

Tomáš Lackner, Yuanmeng Miles Zhang, Carolin Kindler, Michal Motyka et autres

Abstract With 74 genera and subgenera and approximately 740 species, Saprininae represent one of the largest subfamilies of Histeridae (Coleoptera: Histeroidea). Here, we present a phylogenetic hypothesis for Saprininae based on comprehensive taxonomic sampling. This is the first phylogenetic study combining molecular …

It takes two to tango – Phylogeography, taxonomy and hybridization in grass snakes and dice snakes (Serpentes: Natricidae: Natrix natrix, N. tessellata)

Marika Asztalos, Dinçer Ayaz, Yusuf Bayrakcı, Murat Afsar et autres

Using two mitochondrial DNA fragments and 13 microsatellite loci, we examined the phylogeographic structure and taxonomy of two codistributed snake species ( Natrix natrix , N. tessellata ) in their eastern distribution area, with a focus on Turkey. We found evidence for …

Transalpine dispersal: Italian barred grass snakes in southernmost Bavaria—This far but no further!

Marika Asztalos, Frank Glaw, Michael D. Franzen, Carolin Kindler et autres

Based on 1031 samples of grass snakes from Central Europe, we examine the recently reported occurrence of the southern subspecies of the barred grass snake (Natrix helvetica sicula) in southern Bavaria, Germany. Using 13 microsatellite loci and mtDNA coding for the cytb …

How often do they do it? An in-depth analysis of the hybrid zone of two grass snake species (Natrix astreptophoraandNatrix helvetica)

Marika Asztalos, Nadine Schultze, Flora Ihlow, Philippe Geniez et autres

Abstract We examined the contact zone of two parapatric species of grass snake (Natrix astreptophora and Natrix helvetica) in southern France. To this end, we used comprehensive sampling, analysed mtDNA sequences and microsatellite loci, and built Species Distribution Models for current and …

Mitochondrial ghost lineages blur phylogeography and taxonomy of Natrix helvetica and N. natrix in Italy and Corsica

Nadine Schultze, Cäcilia Spitzweg, Claudia Corti, Michel Delaugerre et autres

Abstract Grass snakes are widely distributed across the Western Palearctic. Recent phylogeographic studies provided evidence that three distinct parapatric species exist. Two of these occur in Italy, Natrix helvetica and N. natrix, and a contact zone between both taxa has been suggested …

Distribution and hybridisation of barred and common grass snakes (Natrix helvetica, N. natrix) in Baden-Württemberg, South-western Germany

Nadine Schultze, Hubert Laufer, Carolin Kindler, Uwe Fritz

The distribution and hybridisation zone of the two grass snake species occurring in the German state of Baden-Württemberg are described, based on genetic data from maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA, up to 1983 bp) and biparentally inherited microsatellite DNA (13 loci). In …

Molecular phylogeny of the Saprininae (Coleoptera: Histeridae): the evolution of psammophily or life in sand

Tomáš Lackner, Carolin Kindler, Michal Motyka, Michael Balke

The subfamily Saprininae is a group of moderately large histerid beetles that exhibits remarkable morphological and biological diversity. Although all species are predaceous, feeding on larvae of flies and other arthropods, numerous ecologically diverse lineages appeared during the evolution of the group, …

Phylogeography and taxonomy of the barred grass snake (Natrix helvetica), with a discussion of the subspecies category in zoology

Carolin Kindler, Uwe Fritz

Using 12 microsatellite loci, mitochondrial DNA sequences and previously published morphological evidence, we examined the phylogeographic and taxonomic structure of Natrix helvetica. Our results support tentatively the recognition of five subspecies: (1) N. h. helvetica (Lacepède, 1789) from Western Europe, (2) N. …

Stream flow alone does not predict population structure of diving beetles across complex tropical landscapes

Athena Wai Lam, Emmanuel F. A. Toussaint, Carolin Kindler, Matthew H. Van Dam et autres

Recent theoretical advances have hypothesized a central role of habitat persistence on population genetic structure and resulting biodiversity patterns of freshwater organisms. Here, we address the hypothesis that lotic species, or lineages adapted to comparably geologically stable running water habitats (streams and …

Phylogeography and population genomics of a lotic water beetle across a complex tropical landscape

Athena Wai Lam, Morgan Gueuning, Carolin Kindler, Matthew Van Dam et autres

The habitat template concept applied to a freshwater system indicates that lotic species, or those which occupy permanent habitats along stream courses, are less dispersive than lentic species, or those that occur in more ephemeral aquatic habitats. Thus, populations of lotic species …
