Summary: A recent study on genetic relationships of Formosan subterranean termites in California found that colonies in Canyon Lake belonged to a different maternal lineage compared to colonies in La Mesa. Although the La Mesa colonies showed genetic similarities, significant differences were observed between the Canyon Lake colony and one of the La Mesa colonies, suggesting distinct genetic backgrounds among the populations.

Summary: This study investigated the genetic diversity and structure of Formosan sambar deer in Taiwan using microsatellites. The results showed low genetic diversity in captive populations, likely due to inbreeding and bottleneck effects. Two distinct genetic groups were found within the captive populations, but no significant population genetic structure was observed among the captive populations in Taiwan. Introducing new genetic material from the wild can help mitigate the impact of inbreeding and enhance genetic diversity.

Summary: With the increasing scale of crayfish breeding, it is important to select and breed high-quality fry to avoid degradation of the fry. This study analyzed the genetic structure and diversity of three Procambarus clarkii populations and found that the Xuancheng population exhibited the highest genetic diversity. These results provide valuable information for breeding programs and suggest that the Xuancheng population has a better genetic background for genetic breeding.

Summary: In this study, a consensus genetic map of Hong Kong oyster was constructed using microsatellite markers. The map will be important for future marker assisted selection and gene mapping. Tri-nucleotide microsatellite markers showed greater potential for these applications compared to di-nucleotide markers.

Summary: Genetic diversity was analyzed in two wild populations and three families of Scylla species, indicating high genetic diversity in the wild paternal S. paramamosain population and suggesting its suitability for artificial breeding. Analysis of molecular variance showed that genetic differentiation mainly occurred within populations, indicating potential genetic differentiation among Scylla family groups due to artificial breeding. The F-1 hybrid offspring showed close genetic relationship and potential for artificial breeding with the paternal S. paramamosain population.

Summary: Microsatellite markers were used to analyze the genetic diversity and population genetic structure of Mytilus unguiculatus in seven coastal areas of China. The study found high genetic diversity in M. unguiculatus, with genetic structure differences observed between the Qingdao population and the other six populations. The findings have implications for the development and protection of wild germplasm resources and the formulation of breeding programs.

Summary: Sika deer in the Czech Republic are a highly abundant and rapidly expanding group, hybridizing with the native red deer and posing a threat to the gene pool of the red deer population. Effective game management changes are needed to prevent the widespread proliferation of sika deer and their genetic introgression into the red deer populations.

Summary: This study conducted a diversity analysis of 96 bitter gourd genotypes, revealing a high level of agro-morphological and genetic diversity. Cluster analysis and population structure analysis grouped the genotypes into different clusters and populations. Trait-specific genotypes with early maturity and high-yielding ability were identified based on quantitative trait analysis. These findings contribute to the development of improved cultivars and hybrids of bitter gourd.
