Mitochondrial DNA Variability and Wolbachia Infection in Two Sibling Woodlice Species
Heredity 83 (1999) 71±78 Received 2 November 1998, accepted 15 March 1999 Mitochondrial DNA variability and Wolbachia infection in two sibling woodlice species ISABELLE MARCADE , CATHERINE SOUTY-GROSSET, DIDIER BOUCHON, THIERRY RIGAUD & ROLAND RAIMOND* Universite de Poitiers, Laboratoire de GeÂneÂtique et Biologie des Populations de CrustaceÂs, UMR CNRS 6556, 40 avenue du Recteur Pineau, 86022 Poitiers Cedex, France Several morphological races and subspecies have been described and later included within the terrestrial isopod species Porcellionides pruinosus. During our study of this species, we have worked on specimens from France, Greece, Tunisia and Re union island. Laboratory crosses have revealed two separate groups of populations: French populations (four localities) in one group, and those from Tunisia, Re union island and Greece in the other. French individuals were reproductively isolated from those of the other populations. We have undertaken a survey of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) polymorphism in these seven populations. We observed two groups of mitotypes corresponding to the two groups of populations. Interfertility experiments between populations and the mitochondrial genetic distances between mitotypes both suggest the presence of two dierent species, one in France and one in Greece, Tunisia and Re union island. The two species harbour, respectively, two dierent Wolbachia lines. Another feature of the molecular genetic analysis was the apparent mitochondrial monomorphism in the French populations and the low variability -

The reason for this is because we Tdo not have a monthly meeting in August and the saving in postage costs is considerable. Chairman Vice Chairman There are many interesting articles this time, Neil Carter Lynn Farrell including four by the ‘Farrell’ team and two by Anita 01372 386048 01372 451797 Laycock, another regular contributor, but we also have two members new to contributing to your magazine. I found Cynthia Watson’s piece on architecture particularly pleasing, but it is an interest of mine. I was also very pleased to reproduce a painting by Peter Brazier who apart from being a good watercolour painter is a previous editor Secretary Treasurer Gillian Arnold Chris Pullan of Senior Moments. Lynn and Mike Farrell’s piece on 01372 45204 01372 454582 Crete interested me not just for the content of an island they know well, but it reminded me of the middle book (Officers and Gentlemen) of Evelyn Waugh’s War Trilogy,— Sword of Honour, where he gives a very good insight into the chaos and muddle that must accompany many military operations. -
