The complete mitogenome of the Mountain chicken frog, Leptodactylus fallax.

ABSTRACT: The mountain chicken frog (Leptodactylus fallax) is a critically endangered frog native to the Caribbean islands of Dominica and Montserrat. Over the past 25 years their populations have declined by over 85%, largely due to a chytridiomycosis outbreak that nearly wiped out the Montserratian population. Within the context of developing tools that can aid in the conservation of the mountain chicken frog, we assembled its complete mitochondrial genome, contributing the first complete mitogenome of the genus Leptodactylus (Genbank Accession number MW260634). The circular genome is 18,669 bp long and contains 37 genes. A phylogenetic analysis reveals that L. fallax forms a clade with Leptodactylus melanonotus, highlighting the close relationship of Leptodactylus spp. relative to other species from the superfamily Hyloidea included in the analysis.

The complete mitogenome of the granular torrent frog, Amolops granulosus (Anura: Ranidae).

Project description:We obtained the complete mitochondrial genome of Amolops granulosus, which was 17,785 bp in length and it contained the 37 typical mitochondrial genes: 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), and 1 control region (CR). The hotspot of gene arrangement was ranged as 'W-gap-OL-gap-A-N-gap-C-Y' which consisted with most published Amolops mitogenomes. Our phylogenetic results suggested the gene arrangement of 'WANCY' region can facilitate to distinguish the Amolops species as an efficient genetic marker.

The revised complete mitogenome sequence of the tree frog Polypedatesmegacephalus (Anura, Rhacophoridae) by next-generation sequencing and phylogenetic analysis.

Project description:The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence of the tree frog Polypedates megacephalus (16,473 bp) was previously reported as having the unusual characteristic of lacking the ND5 gene. In this study, a new mitogenome of P. megacephalus (19,952 bp) was resequenced using the next-generation sequencing (NGS) and standard Sanger sequencing technologies. It was discovered that the ND5 gene was not lost but translocated to the control region (CR) from its canonical location between the ND4 and ND6 genes. In addition, a duplicated control region was found in the new mitogenome of this species. Conservative region identification of the ND5 gene and phylogenetic analysis confirmed that the ND5 gene was located between two control regions. The phylogenetic relationship among 20 related species of anura revealed a rearrangement of the ND5 gene during the evolutionary process. These results also highlighted the advantages of next-generation sequencing. It will not only decrease the time and cost of sequencing, but also will eliminate the errors in published mitogenome databases.

A new frog of the Leptodactylus fuscus species group (Anura: Leptodactylidae), endemic from the South American Gran Chaco.

Project description:A new species of Leptodactylus frog (Anura: Leptodactylidae) from the South American Gran Chaco, morphologically similar and previously confused with the widespread Leptodactylus mystacinus, is described through the use of multiple sources of evidence (molecular, external morphology, coloration, osteology, bioacoustics, and behavior). The phylogenetic analysis with partial sequences of mitochondrial rDNA genes (12S and 16S) recovered the new species within the L. fuscus group, being highly divergent (>3% genetic distance in 16S). The new species was recovered as sister taxa of L. mystacinus, from which it is distinguished by tympanum coloration, cephalic index, dorsum and legs coloration, and some osteological differences in nasals and prevomers. This new frog is characterized by a moderate body size (SVL 46.80-66.21 mm), distinctive color pattern (reddish dorsal surfaces of body with noticeable black stripes in the dorsolateral folds), a circular and dark tympanum with dark tympanic annuli, and behavior of males that call on top of fallen logs and tree branches close to the ground.

The Coding Mitogenome of the Freshwater Crayfish Pontastacus leptodactylus (Decapoda:Astacidea:Astacidae) from Lake Vegoritida, Greece and Its Taxonomic Classification.

Project description:Pontastacus leptodactylus (Eschscholtz, 1823) (Decapoda:Astacidea:Astacidae) constitutes an ecologically and economically highly important species. In the present study, the mitochondrial genome of the freshwater crayfish P. leptodactylus from Greece is analyzed for the first time, using 15 newly designed primer pairs based on available sequences of closely related species. The analyzed coding part of the mitochondrial genome of P. leptodactylus consists of 15,050 base pairs including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA gene (rRNAs), and 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs). These newly designed primers may be particularly useful in future studies for analyzing different mitochondrial DNA segments. Based on the entire mitochondrial genome sequence, compared to other haplotypes from related species belonging in the same family (Astacidae) available in the GenBank database, a phylogenetic tree was constructed depicting the phylogenetic relationships of P. leptodactylus. Based on the results, the genetic distance between Astacus astacus and P. leptodactylus is smaller than the genetic distance between Austropotamobius pallipes and Austropotamobius torrentium, despite the fact that the latter two are classified within the same genus, questioning the phylogenetic position of A. astacus as a different genus than P. leptodactylus. In addition, the sample from Greece seems genetically distant compared with a conspecific haplotype available in the GenBank database, possibly implying a genetic distinction of P. leptodactylus from Greece.

Limited effects of traffic noise on behavioural responses to conspecific mating calls in the eastern sedge frog Litoria fallax.

Project description:Anthropogenic noise is a pervasive environmental feature across both urban and non-urban habitats and presents a novel challenge especially for acoustically communicating species. While it is known that some species adjust acoustic signals to communicate more effectively in noisy habitats, we know very little about how the receivers of these signals might be impacted by anthropogenic noise. Here, we investigated female and male Litoria fallax frogs' ability to distinguish between high- and low-quality acoustic signals during the presence of background traffic noise and without. We performed a controlled behavioural experiment whereby frogs were presented with simultaneously broadcasted attractive and unattractive calls from opposing directions, once with background traffic noise and once without. We found that females in particular chose the unattractive call significantly more often (and males significantly less often) when noise was being broadcast. This indicates that anthropogenic noise potentially affects receiver responses to acoustic signals, even when calls are not acoustically masked, with potential consequences for maladaptive mating behaviours and population outcomes.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10211-021-00378-7.

MiRNA sequencing of Embryonic Myogenesis in Chengkou Mountain Chicken.

Project description:BackgroundSkeletal muscle tissue is among the largest organ systems in mammals, essential for survival and movement. Embryonic muscle development determines the quantity and quality of muscles after the birth of an individual. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a significant class of non-coding RNAs that bind to the 3'UTR region of mRNA to regulate gene function. Total RNA was extracted from the leg muscles of chicken embryos in different developmental stages of Chengkou Mountain Chicken and used to generate 171,407,341 clean small RNA reads. Target prediction, GO, and KEGG enrichment analyses determined the significantly enriched genes and pathways. Differential analysis determined the significantly different miRNAs between chicken embryo leg muscles at different developmental stages. Meanwhile, the weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) identified key modules in different developmental stages, and the hub miRNAs were screened following the KME value.ResultsThe clean reads contained 2047 miRNAs, including 721 existing miRNAs, 1059 known miRNAs, and 267 novel miRNAs. Many genes and pathways related to muscle development were identified, including ERBB4, MEF2C, FZD4, the Wnt, Notch, and MAPK signaling pathways. The WGCNA established the greenyellow module and gga-miR-130b-5p for E12, magenta module and gga-miR-1643-5p for E16, purple module and gga-miR-12218-5p for E19, cyan module and gga-miR-132b-5p for E21.ConclusionThese results lay a foundation for further research on the molecular regulatory mechanism of embryonic muscle development in Chengkou mountain chicken and provide a reference for other poultry and livestock muscle development studies.
