Analysis of MC1R genetic variation in Lepus species in Mediterranean refugia
(2012)A study on the inter- and intraspecies variation of MC1R gene was performed in Lepus species inhabiting the Mediterranean basin (L granatansis, L europaeus, L. corsicanus, L castroviejoi and L mediterraneus) and their ... -
Assessment of genetic structure of Greek brown hare (Lepus europaeus) populations based on variation in random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)
(2002)The RAPD method was used to assess the genetic differentiation of brown hare (Lepus europaeus) populations from Central Greece. Greek wild populations were compared with samples from Austria, Poland, Germany, France, and ... -
Cyclocephala (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae) evolution in Lesser West Indies indicates a Northward colonization by C. tridentata
(2012)A dual cytogenetic and molecular analysis was performed in four species of Cyclocepala (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae) from Lesser Antilles (Martinique, Dominica and Guadeloupe). Two species/sub-species, C. mafaffa ... -
Detecting introgressive hybridisation in rock partridge populations (Alectoris graeca) in Greece through Bayesian admixture analyses of multilocus genotypes
(2007)The nominal subspecies of rock partridge (Alectoris graeca graeca) is widely distributed in Greece, where populations are declining due to over-hunting and habitat changes. Captive-reared chukars (A. chukar) have been ... -
Domestication does not narrow MHC diversity in Sus scrofa
(2013)The Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) is a multigene family of outstanding polymorphism. MHC molecules bind antigenic peptides in the peptide-binding region (PBR) that consists of five binding pockets (P). In this ... -
Genetic diversify among Balkan trout populations based on RAPD analysis
(2011)Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to estimate the population structure and phylogenetic relationships among samples of the Salmo trutta complex that inhabit the Balkan Peninsula. Five random ... -
Genetic evidence for survival of released captive-bred brown hares Lepus europaeus during restocking operations in Greece
(2007)To prevent the decline of the brown hare Lepus europaeus, especially as a result of hunting pressure, restocking programmes, using hares from elsewhere, were carried out in Greece up to 2001. Using diagnostic RFLP mitochondrial ... -
Genetic structure of Greek brown hare (Lepus europaeus) populations as revealed by mtDBNA RFLP-PCR analysis: implications for conserving genetic diversity
(2001)The genetic differentiation and the phylogenetic status of brown hare (Lepus europaeus) populations from central Greece as well as the impact of the releases of reared individuals on the native populations genetic structure ... -
Genetic variation in populations of the endangered fish Ladigesocypris ghigii and its implications for conservation
(2005)1. The genetic variation of the endangered freshwater fish Ladigesocypris ghigii, endemic to the island of Rhodes (Greece), was investigated for nine populations, originating from seven different stream systems and a ... -
Genetic variation in the major histocompatibility complex of the European brown hare (Lepus europaeus) across distinct phylogeographic areas
(2014)The major histocompatibility complex is one of the best studied systems in vertebrates providing evidence for the long-term action of selection. Here, we examined the intra- and inter-population genetic diversity of the ... -
A new set of 16S rRNA universal primers for identification of animal species
(2014)In this study, bioinformatics were used to specifically design universal primers within 16S rRNA gene according to the following criteria: the priming sites needed to be sufficiently conserved to permit a reliable amplification ... -
Phylogeography of the brown hare (Lepus europaeus) in Europe: a legacy of south-eastern Mediterranean refugia?
(2009)We analysed the population genetics of the brown hare (Lepus europaeus) in order to test the hypothesis that this species migrated into central Europe from a number of late glacial refugia, including some in Asia Minor. ... -
Polarisation of Major Histocompatibility Complex II Host Genotype with Pathogenesis of European Brown Hare Syndrome Virus
(2013)A study was conducted in order to determine the occurrence of European Brown Hare Syndrome virus (EBHSV) in Denmark and possible relation between disease pathogenesis and Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) host genotype. ...
