Spatial structure and temporal dynamics of an intertidal population of the marine ecosystem engineering worm Lanice conchilega (Pallas, 1766) Ghent University
Effects of population size and isolation on the genetic structure of the East African mountain white-eye Zosterops poliogaster (Aves) Ghent University
Community structure, population dynamics and diversity of fungi in a full-scale membrane bioreactor (MBR) for urban wastewater treatment Ghent University
Weak population structure and recent demographic expansion of the monogenean parasite Kapentagyrus spp. infecting clupeid fishes of Lake Tanganyika, East Africa University of Antwerp Hasselt University KU Leuven
Lake Tanganyika, East Africa, is the oldest and deepest African Great Lake and harbours one of the most diverse fish assemblages on earth. Two clupeid fishes, Limnothrissa miodon and Stolothrissa tanganicae, constitute a major part of the total fish catch, making them indispensable for local food security. Parasites have been proposed as indicators of stock structure in highly mobile pelagic hosts. We examined the monogeneans Kapentagyrus ...
Population size affects genetic diversity and fine-scale spatial genetic structure in the clonal distylous herb Menyanthes trifoliata Meise Botanic Garden
Small populations often show a low degree of genetic diversity. In distylous clonal plants, genetic diversity may also be influenced by other factors, such as floral morph aggregation, clonality and spatial genetic structure. Nevertheless, the relationships between population size, genetic diversity and spatial genetic structure are poorly understood. We tested for the effects of population size on genetic diversity and fine-scale spatial ...
Population structure of the cyanobacterium Microcystis mediated by history, grazing and interstrain interactions Ghent University
Massive growth of cyanobacterial phytoplankton, in response to eutrophication, can lead to dense water blooms. A very widespread toxic bloom forming cyanobacteria is Microcystis (order Chroococcales), which has received much scientific attention. Studies based on several molecular markers have shown that naturally occurring Microcystis populations are generally composed of several genotypes. Although these blooms have been extensively studied, ...
Population genomic structure of the gelatinous zooplankton species Mnemiopsis leidyi in its nonindigenous range in the North Sea KU Leuven Ghent University
Nonindigenous species pose a major threat for coastal and estuarine ecosystems. Risk management requires genetic information to establish appropriate management units and infer introduction and dispersal routes. We investigated one of the most successful marine invaders, the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi, and used genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) to explore the spatial population structure in its nonindigenous range in the North Sea. We analyzed ...
A comparison of the population genetic structure of parasitic Viscum album from two landscapes differing in degree of fragmentation Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Ghent University KU Leuven
Parasite populations do not necessarily conform to expected patterns of genetic diversity and structure. Parasitic plants may be more vulnerable to the negative consequences of landscape fragmentation because of their specialized life history strategies and dependence on host plants, which are themselves susceptible to genetic erosion and reduced fitness following habitat change. We used AFLP genetic markers to investigate the effects of habitat ...
