Genetic impoverishment in laboratory cultures of the test organism Chironomus riparius.

Environmental toxicology and chemistry - 1 May 2007

Nowak Carsten, Vogt Christian, Diogo João Barateiro, Schwenk Klaus

Abstract excerpt

Genetic diversity among laboratory and field populations of Chironomus riparius was investigated using microsatellite DNA analysis. Individuals of midge cultures reared in 10 different laboratories showed a clear reduction in the number of alleles per locus and in the level of heterozygosity compared to two natural populations sampled in southern Germany. To reconstruct the rate of genetic impoverishment under...
