New polymorphic locus, Du214, (GenBank Ac. No. EU252542) was identified and characterized in detail. It was demonstrated that allele of this locus differed in the size and structure of microsatellite locus, as well as in point mutations, the combinations of which enabled the isola- tion of stabile fixed double nucleotide substitutions A–A (alleles 2 and 4) and G–T (alleles 1, 3, 5, and 6). Double nucleotide substitutions described were also identified in the orthlogous loci of the parental species genomes, D. rad- dei (G–T) and D. valentine (A–A). Based on the analysis of allele distribution pattern at this locus in all populations of parthenospecies D. unisexualis, mathematic model was elaborated and realized.

Kainov 1,5,* 1 Department for Cancer Research and Molecular Medicine (IKOM), Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 7491 Trondheim, Norway 2 Department of Biosciences and Nutrition (BioNuT), Karolinska Institutet, 14183 Huddinge, Sweden 3 KG Jebsen Centre for B Cell Malignancies, Institute of Clinical Medicine, University of Oslo, 0316 Oslo, Norway 4 Institute of Clinical Medicine, University of Oslo, 0318 Oslo, Norway 5 Institute of Technology, University of Tartu, 50090 Tartu, Estonia * Correspondence: [email protected] (V.O.); [email protected] (D.E.K.) DNA in our cells is constantly modified by internal and external factors. For exam- ple, metabolic byproducts, ionizing radiation (IR), ultraviolet (UV) light, and medicines can induce spontaneous DNA lesions [1–3]. However, DNA modifications can also be programmed. In particular, the recombination activating gene (RAG) can induce breaks generated during the V(D)J recombination in developing B and T lymphocytes [1,2]. In addition, activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) makes DNA break during the class-switch recombination (CSR) and somatic hypermutation (SHM) in B cells [1,2]. One focus of this Special Issue is on the non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) DNA repair pathway and DNA repair and DNA damage response (DDR) factors. Oksenych et al. and others found the functional redundancy of these factors in mammalian cells. In particu- lar, a genetic interaction was found between the X-ray repair cross-complementing protein 4 (XRCC4)-like factor (XLF, also known as Cernunnos) and the DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) [4,5], the paralog of XRCC4 and XLF (PAXX) [6–9], and the modulator of retrovirus infection (MRI, also known as Cyren) [10].

Anderson1 Abstract Background: The majority of parthenogenetic vertebrates derive from hybridization between sexually reproducing species, but the exact number of hybridization events ancestral to currently extant clonal lineages is difficult to determine. Usually, we do not know whether the parental species are able to contribute their genes to the parthenogenetic vertebrate lineages after the initial hybridization. In this paper, we address the hypothesis, whether some genotypes of seven phenotypically distinct parthenogenetic rock lizards (genus Darevskia) could have resulted from back-crosses of parthenogens with their presumed parental species. We also tried to identify, as precise as possible, the ancestral populations of all seven parthenogens. Results: We analysed partial mtDNA sequences and microsatellite genotypes of all seven parthenogens and their presumed ansectral species, sampled across the entire geographic range of parthenogenesis in this group. Our results confirm the previous designation of the parental species, but further specify the maternal populations that are likely ancestral to different parthenogenetic lineages. Contrary to the expectation of independent hybrid origins of the unisexual taxa, we found that genotypes at multiple loci were shared frequently between different parthenogenetic species. The highest proportions of shared genotypes were detected between (i) D.

    Species Status Assessment Report for the Columbia Spotted Frog (Rana luteiventris) Great Basin Distinct Population Segment Photo by Jim Harvey Photo: Jim Harvey U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Region 8 Reno Fish and Wildlife Office Reno, Nevada Suggested reference: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. 2015. Species status assessment report for the Columbia spotted frog (Rana luteiventris), Great Basin Distinct Population Segment. Reno Fish and Wildlife Office, Reno, Nevada. vii + 86 pp. ii Executive Summary In this Species Status Assessment (SSA), we evaluate the biological status of Columbia spotted frogs (Rana luteiventris) in the Great Basin both currently and into the future through the lens of the species’ resiliency, redundancy, and representation. This SSA Report provides a comprehensive assessment of biology and natural history of Columbia spotted frogs and assesses demographic risks, stressors, and limiting factors. Herein, we compile biological data and a description of past, present, and likely future stressors (causes and effects) facing Columbia spotted frogs in the Great Basin. Columbia spotted frogs are highly aquatic frogs endemic to the Great Basin, northern Rocky Mountains, British Columbia, and southeast Alaska. Columbia spotted frogs in southeastern Oregon, southwestern Idaho, and northeastern and central Nevada make up the Great Basin Distinct Population Segment (DPS; Service 2015, pp. 1–10). Columbia spotted frogs are closely associated with clear, slow-moving streams or ponded surface waters with permanent hydroperiods and relatively cool constant water temperatures (Arkle and Pilliod 2015, pp. 9–11). In addition to permanently wet habitat, streams with beaver ponds, deep maximum depth, abundant shoreline vegetation, and non-salmonid fish species have the greatest probability of being occupied by Columbia spotted frogs within the Great Basin (Arkle and Pilliod 2015, pp.

Species lists updates and accurate information on the geographic distribution of species are necessary for baseline studies in ecology and conservation of these sites. Here, we present an updated list of the diversity of amphibians and reptiles in the Lacandona region, and actualized information on their distribution and conservation status. Although some studies have discussed the amphibians and reptiles of the Lacandona, most herpetological lists came from the northern part of the region, and there are no confirmed records for many of the species assumed to live in the region.

In particular D. portschinskii and D. raddei are considered as the parental species for the parthenogenetic species D. rostombekowi. Here for the first time we present the result of comparative immunocytochemical study of primary spermatocyte nuclei spreads from the leptotene to diplotene stages of meiotic prophase I in two species: D.
