The genetic structure of metapopulations offers insights into the genetic consequences of local extinction and recolonization. We studied allozyme variation in rock pool metapopulations of two species of waterfleas (Daphnia) with the aim to understand how these dynamics influence genetic differentiation. We screened 138 populations of D. magna and 65 populations of D....

Genetic diversity and genetic differentiation in Daphnia metapopulations with subpopulations of known age

Haag, Christoph R. ; Riek, Myriam ; Hottinger, Jürgen W. ; Pajunen, V. Ilmari ; Ebert, Dieter

In: Genetics, 2005, vol. 170, p. 1809

If colonization of empty habitat patches causes genetic bottlenecks, freshly founded, young populations should be genetically less diverse than older ones that may have experienced successive rounds of immigration. This can be studied in metapopulations with subpopulations of known age. We studied allozyme variation in metapopulations of two species of water fleas (Daphnia) in the skerry...
