Trans-Atlantic Distribution of a Mangrove Oyster Species Revealed by 16S mtDNA and Karyological Analyses
@article{Lapgue2002TransAtlanticDO, title={Trans-Atlantic Distribution of a Mangrove Oyster Species Revealed by 16S mtDNA and Karyological Analyses}, author={Sylvie Lap{\`e}gue and Isabelle Boutet and Alexandra Leit{\~a}o and Serge Heurtebise and Pascale Garcia and Catherine Thiriot-Qui{\'e}vreux and Pierre Boudry}, journal={The Biological Bulletin}, year={2002}, volume={202}, pages={232 - 242} }
Three species of mangrove oysters, Crassostrea rhizophorae, C. brasiliana, and C. gasar, have been described along the Atlantic shores of South America and Africa. Because the distribution of these molluscs is of great biological and commercial interest, their taxonomy and distribution deserve further clarification. Therefore, 15 populations were sampled from both continents. Their 16S mitochondrial polymorphism was studied by sequencing and PCR-RFLP analysis. Two haplotypes were identified…

To identify oysters of the Tunisian north-east coast, a 16S rRNA mitochondrial fragment was sequenced from 68 oysters sampled from the Bizert Lagoon and the Gulf of Hammamet in northern Tunisia to show the presence of both Ostreola stentina and Crassostrea gigas, which could not be detected on the basis of shell morphology only.

The phylogeny of Eucidaris confirms Ernst Mayr's conclusions that major barriers to the dispersal of tropical echinoids have been the wide stretch of deep water between central and eastern Pacific, the cold water off the southwest coast of Africa, and the Isthmus of Panama and suggests that a colonization event in the eastern Pacific has led to speciation between mainland and island populations.

Molecular data from domains D1, D2, and partial D3 of the 28S rDNA supply sufficient phylogenetic information to determine systematic relationships among the extant oyster taxa, from the major species groups to the family level, thus providing valuable characters that are able to supplement the paucity of morphological characters so far recognized.
