Without heritable variation, evolution by means of natural selection would not occur. The spatial separation of genetic variation has two sides: it can maintain variation for selection, and it can also be the result of selection. This thesis addresses the question: ‘What does a life history of external fertilization and pelagic larval dispersal imply for the spatial arrangement of intraspecific genetic variation?’’ The spatial arrangement of intraspecific genetic variation is partly dependent on the amount of genetic exchange (gene flow) between different spatial units (e.g., populations). This is the case for both neutral genetic variation and genetic variation under the influence of selection. Traditionally, isolation was viewed by many authors, of whom Mayr was the main advocate (e.g. Mayr 1942, 1963), as a necessary first step in differentiation. This rather extreme conception was relaxed in later years into one of degree: how much gene flow is sufficient to prevent differentiation (e.g. Ehrlich and Raven 1969, Slatkin 1987, Lenormand 2002)? If all taxa were linearly arranged along a continuous gradient describing the amount of gene flow, marine broadcast spawning invertebrates would be placed near one extreme end of the gradient, with their high levels of genetic exchange. This makes these invertebrates useful for testing predictions of population genetic models in relation to gene flow. This thesis aims to do this, with particular emphasis on the difference between differentiation in neutral and selective variation in the face of gene flow. The bivalve Macoma balthica (L.) or Baltic clam was chosen as the model species for this, as it has been previously well studied in marine benthic ecology, with a focus on its population dynamics, community ecology, population structure and evolutionary ecology (e.g. Lammens 1967, Hulscher 1973, Beukema 1993, Hummel et al. 1995, Honkoop et al. 1998, Edelaar 2000, De Goeij et al. 2001, Van der Meer et al. 2001, Drent 2002, Hiddink and Wolff 2002). In this thesis the term ‘population’ is used throughout. This suggests there is a scale at which a species can be surveyed to reveal a discrete set of populations that have complete mixing within them and some fixed amount of exchange between them. In reality, intraspecific structure tends to be much more complex. The species studied here can be distributed continuously (e.g. across large stretches of mudflat such as those in the Wadden Sea) or discontinuously (e.g. in river estuaries on a predominantly rocky shore coastline). It is nevertheless insightful to approach population structure with an island-mainland model that assumes discrete populations. Such a model is easier to deal with mathematically than more complex models, and, in the absence of prior knowledge, it can serve well as the simplest possible alternative to a null hypothesis of the absence of population subdivision. 9 Genetic variation within and among populations Genetic variation arises due to mutation. In most species, there is abundant spatial differentiation in gene frequencies, and two of the main aims of evolutionary biology are to understand how spatial genetic differentiation originates and how it is maintained. The reverse is also true; spatial separation is one of the forces that helps to maintain genetic variation. Different forces are continually at work, some tend to produce differentiation, while others tend to produce homogenization. The amount of spatial differentation that results depends on the balance between these forces. The nature of the forces involved in local differentiation differs between so-called neutral and selective genetic variation. The distinction between neutral and selective (non-neutral) variation can be problematic due to the transition zone between them. The crucial difference between the two, as applied in the context of functional biological questions, is that in selective variation, the alternative genetic variants are directly associated with a difference in phenotype and functionality (e.g., biochemically, ecologically). For neutral variation this is not the case. While some authors rank for instance silent substitutions in protein coding DNA and codon bias under neutral variation because it bears no direct relationship to the biological functioning of the individual, others may view these examples as selective variation, e.g. when trying to explain GC content of DNA. In this thesis, silent substitutions in mitochondrial protein coding DNA as well as allozyme variants are treated as neutral genetic variation, although the assumed neutrality of the allozymes is discussed in chapter 9. Non-neutral variation

  • Analysis of Synonymous Codon Usage Patterns in Sixty-Four Different Bivalve Species
    Analysis of synonymous codon usage patterns in sixty-four diVerent bivalve species Marco Gerdol1, Gianluca De Moro1, Paola Venier2 and Alberto Pallavicini1 1 Department of Life Sciences, University of Trieste, Trieste, Italy 2 Department of Biology, University of Padova, Padova, Italy ABSTRACT Synonymous codon usage bias (CUB) is a defined as the non-random usage of codons encoding the same amino acid across diVerent genomes. This phenomenon is common to all organisms and the real weight of the many factors involved in its shaping still remains to be fully determined. So far, relatively little attention has been put in the analysis of CUB in bivalve mollusks due to the limited genomic data available. Taking advantage of the massive sequence data generated from next generation sequencing projects, we explored codon preferences in 64 diVerent species pertaining to the six major evolutionary lineages in Bivalvia. We detected remarkable diVerences across species, which are only partially dependent on phylogeny. While the intensity of CUB is mild in most organisms, a heterogeneous group of species (including Arcida and Mytilida, among the others) display higher bias and a strong preference for AT-ending codons. We show that the relative strength and direction of mutational bias, selection for translational eYciency and for translational accuracy contribute to the establishment of synonymous codon usage in bivalves. Although many aspects underlying bivalve CUB still remain obscure, we provide for the first time an overview of this phenomenon

  • The Molluscan Shell Secretome: Unlocking Calcium Pathways in a Changing World
    The Molluscan Shell Secretome: Unlocking Calcium Pathways in a Changing World Victoria Anne Sleight Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Heriot-Watt University School of Life Sciences September 2017 The copyright in this thesis is owned by the author. Any quotation from the thesis or use of any of the information contained in it must acknowledge this thesis as the source of the quotation or information. Abstract How do molluscs build their shells? Despite hundreds of years of human fascination, the processes underpinning mollusc shell production are still considered a black box. We know molluscs can alter their shell thickness in response to environmental factors, but we do not have a mechanistic understanding of how the shell is produced and regulated. In this thesis I used a combination of methodologies - from traditional histology, to shell damage-repair experiments and ‘omics technologies - to better understand the molecular mechanisms which control shell secretion in two species, the Antarctic clam Laternula elliptica and the temperate blunt-gaper clam Mya truncata. The integration of different methods was particularly useful for assigning putative biomineralisation functions to genes with no previous annotation. Each chapter of this thesis found reoccurring evidence for the involvement of vesicles in biomineralisation and for the duplication and subfunctionalisation of tyrosinase paralogues. Shell damage-repair experiments revealed biomineralisation in L. elliptica was variable, transcriptionally dynamic, significantly affected by age and inherently entwined with immune processes. The high amount of transcriptional variation across 78 individual animals was captured in a single mantle regulatory gene network, which was used to predict the regulation of “classic” biomineralisation genes, and identify novel biomineralisation genes.

  • Distribution of DTHS3 Satellite DNA Across 12 Bivalve Species
    Research Note Distribution of DTHS3 satellite DNA across 12 bivalve species Eva Šatović1* and Miroslav Plohl1 1 Division of Molecular Biology, Ruđer Bošković Institute, Bijenička 54, 10 000 Zagreb, Croatia * Corresponding Author: Eva Šatović, Division of Molecular Biology, Ruđer Bošković Institute, Zagreb, Croatia, e- mail: [email protected] Running (short) title: DTHS3 satellite DNA Keywords: satellite DNA, Bivalvia, evolution Abstract In this work, characterization of DTHS3 satellite DNA was further expanded within the Class Bivalvia. Monomer variants of DTHS3 satDNA were compared in 12 bivalve species belonging to two different Subclasses, Heterodonta and Pteriomorphia. This satDNA, whose age is estimated to a minimum of 516 Ma, is contributing to the concept of the dual character of satDNA sequences: their sequence preservation throughout long evolutionary periods and generation of species-specific variants of the same satDNA family. Introduction Class Bivalvia is represented by a large number of marine and freshwater mollusks, found in aquatic habitats throughout the world. Despite their significant ecological and commercial value, genomic studies on these organisms are not abundant, and information is still limited to a few species. Genome sequencing projects have been performed only for the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata (Takeuchi et al. 2012), pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas (Zhang et al. 2012), and filter-feeder mussel Mytillus galloprovincialis (Murgarella et al. 2016). Significant fraction of all eukaryotic genomes is made of repetitive sequences. Among them are satellite DNA (satDNA) sequences, organized in arrays of tandemly repeated monomers (Miklos 1985). Donax trunculus is an example of a bivalve species harboring a number of different satDNAs: DTE (Plohl and Cornudella 1996), DTHS1, DTHS2, DTHS3, DTHS4 (Plohl and Cornudella 1997), DTF1 (Petrović and Plohl 2005), DTF2 (Petrović et al.

Zoological Studies 51(3): 406-414. The razor clam Sinonovacula constricta is a common shellfish in human seafood diets. Little is known about the genetic structure of the species on the coast of China. In this study, the genetic diversity and differentiation of S. constricta from the northern, middle, and southern coasts of China were estimated using 8 microsatellites. The 10 populations possessed high allelic (Ar = 6.0-7.0) and genetic diversities (Ho = 0.737-0.909 and He = 0.836-0.882) across the 8 microsatellite loci. The FST analysis indicated significant genetic differentiation (FST = 0.044, p < 0.05) among the 10 populations. Two populations in the middle region significantly differed from the remaining populations (FST = 0.039-0.125, p < 0.05).

Pokrovsky 16,17 1234567890():,; Macrobioerosion is a common process in marine ecosystems. Many types of rock-boring organisms break down hard substrates, particularly carbonate rocks and calcareous struc- tures such as dead corals and shells. In paleontology, the presence of rocks with boreholes and fossil macroboring assemblage members is one of the primary diagnostic features of shallow marine paleo-environments. Here we describe a silicate rock-boring organism and an associated community in submerged siltstone rock outcrops in Kaladan River, Myanmar. The rock-boring mussel Lignopholas fluminalis is a close relative of the marine piddocks, and its borings belong to the ichnospecies Gastrochaenolites anauchen. The neotectonic uplift of the area leading to gradual decrease of the sea level with subsequent shift from estuarine to freshwater environment was the most likely driver for the origin of this community. Our findings highlight that rocks with macroborings are not an exclusive indicator of marine paleo-ecosystems, but may also reflect freshwater habitats. 1 Northern Arctic Federal University, Arkhangelsk, Russia 163002. 2 Federal Center for Integrated Arctic Research, Russian Academy of Sciences, Arkhangelsk, Russia 163000.

  • The Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of Six Heterodont Bivalves (Tellinoidea and Solenoidea): Variable Gene Arrangements and Phylogenetic Implications
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by PubMed Central The Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of Six Heterodont Bivalves (Tellinoidea and Solenoidea): Variable Gene Arrangements and Phylogenetic Implications Yang Yuan, Qi Li*, Hong Yu, Lingfeng Kong Fisheries College, Ocean University of China, Qingdao, Shandong, China Abstract Background: Taxonomy and phylogeny of subclass Heterodonta including Tellinoidea are long-debated issues and a complete agreement has not been reached yet. Mitochondrial (mt) genomes have been proved to be a powerful tool in resolving phylogenetic relationship. However, to date, only ten complete mitochondrial genomes of Heterodonta, which is by far the most diverse major group of Bivalvia, have been determined. In this paper, we newly sequenced the complete mt genomes of six species belonging to Heterodonta in order to resolve some problematical relationships among this subclass. Principal Findings: The complete mt genomes of six species vary in size from 16,352 bp to 18,182. Hairpin-like secondary structures are found in the largest non-coding regions of six freshly sequenced mt genomes, five of which contain tandem repeats. It is noteworthy that two species belonging to the same genus show different gene arrangements with three translocations. The phylogenetic analysis of Heterodonta indicates that Sinonovacula constricta, distant from the Solecurtidae belonging to Tellinoidea, is as a sister group with Solen grandis of family Solenidae. Besides, all five species of Tellinoidea cluster together, while Sanguinolaria diphos has closer relationship with Solecurtus divaricatus, Moerella iridescens and Semele scaba rather than with Sanguinolaria olivacea. Conclusions/Significance: By comparative study of gene order rearrangements and phylogenetic relationships of the five species belonging to Tellinoidea, our results support that comparisons of mt gene order rearrangements, to some extent, are a useful tool for phylogenetic studies.

Currently, there is very sparse information, especially on the molecular data of Villorita. The present study aims to provide a comprehensive knowledge of mitogenome architecture and assess the phylogenetic status of Cyrenidae. This has resulted in reporting the frst complete mitogenome of V. cyprinoides using next-generation sequencing technology. The A+T circular mitogenome was 15,880 bp long, exhibiting 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) including ATP8 (absent in several bivalves), 22 transfer RNA, and two ribosomal RNA genes residing in the heavy strand in a clockwise orientation and a gene order akin to Corbicula fuminea. The molecular phylogeny inferred from a concatenated multi-gene sequence [14 mitochondrial (12 PCGs, rrnS and rrnL) and two nuclear genes (Histone H3, 18S rRNA)] from 47 representative species of superorder Imparidentia, clustered V. cyprinoides and Cyrenid clams to a single clade supporting the monophyly of Cyrenidae. The subsequent mitochondrial gene order analysis substantiates the close relationship of V. cyprinoides and C. fuminea, analogous to phylogenetic output. The multilocus tree topology calibrated with verifed fossil data deciphered the origin and diversifcation of Cyrenid clams during late Triassic- early Jurassic. The data derived from this study shall contribute remarkably for further insights on cryptic species identifcation, molecular characterization of bivalve mitogenomes and mitochondrial evolutionary history of genus Villorita.
