106}, abstract = {Many hermaphroditic species are promiscuous, have a sperm digesting organ and an allosperm storage organ (i.e., spermatheca) with multiple compartments (i.e., spermathecal tubules) providing opportunities for sperm competition. The relative paternity of a sperm donor drives the evolution of mating behaviors that allow manipulation of the sperm receiver{\textquoteright}s reproductive behavior or physiology. We studied the relationship between sperm transfer, sperm storage, sperm digestion, and copulation duration in the hermaphroditic land snail Succinea putris, in which an active individual mates on top of a passive individual. Specifically, we examined (i) whether the entire copulation duration was required to complete reciprocal sperm transfer, (ii) sperm transfer patterns and their relationship with activity role, and (iii) the timing of sperm storage and sperm digestion. We found that reciprocal sperm transfer was completed within the first 5 h of copulation, which is \~{}2{\textendash}3 h before the end of copulation. Sperm transfer was mainly sequential, meaning that one individual donated all his ejaculate before its partner started to reciprocate. The initiation of sperm transfer did not depend on the activity role. The presence of allosperm in the spermatheca before sperm transfer suggests that individuals remate before they are allosperm depleted. No sperm was digested during copulation but sperm digestion took place 0{\textendash}72 h after copulation. Our results suggest that contact mate guarding is a likely manipulation strategy in S. putris, because partners cannot immediately remate. In addition, staying in copula after sperm transfer is completed seems to prevent the immediate digestion of sperm and therefore may promote sperm displacement and allosperm storage.}, keywords = {mating, partner manipulation, reproductive behavior}, issn = {17447410}, doi = {10.1111/j.1744-7410.2009.00166.x}, author = {Dillen, Lobke and Jordaens, Kurt and Backeljau, Thierry} } @article {4372, title = {Exploring the Use of Cytochrome Oxidase c Subunit 1 (COI) for DNA Barcoding of Free-Living Marine Nematodes}, journal = {PLoS ONE}, volume = {5}, year = {2010}, month = {10/2010}, pages = {e13716}, abstract = {Background The identification of free-living marine nematodes is difficult because of the paucity of easily scorable diagnostic morphological characters. Consequently, molecular identification tools could solve this problem. Unfortunately, hitherto most of these tools relied on 18S rDNA and 28S rDNA sequences, which often lack sufficient resolution at the species level. In contrast, only a few mitochondrial COI data are available for free-living marine nematodes. Therefore, we investigate the amplification and sequencing success of two partitions of the COI gene, the M1-M6 barcoding region and the I3-M11 partition. Methodology Both partitions were analysed in 41 nematode species from a wide phylogenetic range. The taxon specific primers for the I3-M11 partition outperformed the universal M1-M6 primers in terms of amplification success (87.8\% vs. 65.8\%, respectively) and produced a higher number of bidirectional COI sequences (65.8\% vs 39.0\%, respectively). A threshold value of 5\% K2P genetic divergence marked a clear DNA barcoding gap separating intra- and interspecific distances: 99.3\% of all interspecific comparisons were >0.05, while 99.5\% of all intraspecific comparisons were <0.05 K2P distance. Conclusion The I3-M11 partition reliably identifies a wide range of marine nematodes, and our data show the need for a strict scrutiny of the obtained sequences, since contamination, nuclear pseudogenes and endosymbionts may confuse nematode species identification by COI sequences.}, doi = {10.1371/journal.pone.0013716.t002}, url = {http://jemu.myspecies.info/sites/jemu.myspecies.info/files/journal.pone_.0013716-1.pdf}, author = {Derycke, Sofie and Vanaverbeke, Jan and Rigaux, Annelien and Backeljau, Thierry and Moens, Tom} }
