Phylogenetic information in interSINE and inter-SSR fingerprints of the Artiodactyla and evolution of the Bov-tA SINE
Article Abstract:
Artiodactyla and phylogenetic information in their short interspersed nuclear elements(SINE) and simple sequence repeat (SSR) fingerprints are discussed with consideration of evolution of the Bov-tA SINE. Usefulness of interspersed repeated sequences and elements (IRSs) fingerprinting in phylogenetic comparisons in six artiodactyl species was evaluated through use of several primers from two abundant genomic components. Differences among sequences, both inter- and intraspecific were relatively high. Sequences showed no clear clustering with the species from which they had been isolated. Model data set had data for six species from Cervidae, Bovidae and Suidae.

A sex-linked locus (Mpi) in the opposum shrimp Mysis relicta: implications for early postglacial colonization history
Article Abstract:
Evidence has been found of a genetic mechanism of sex determination in three lacustrine populations of the opossum shrimp Mysis relicta sp. I. In these populations from eastern Finland almost all females are homozygotes 100/100 and most of the males are heterozygotes 107/100 at the Mpi allozyme locus (mannose-6-phosphate isomerase). Other parts of the species range do not exhibit such disequilibria. The postglacial geological evolution of the lakes is connected to the limited geographical distribution of the association between sex and Mpi .

Historical biogeography and interspecific mtDNA introgresion in Euhadra peliomphala (the Japanese land snail)
Article Abstract:
Historical biogeography and interspecific mtDNA introgression have been studied in Euhadra peliomphala (the Japanese land snail). The spatial distribution of evolutionary lineages were examined. To reconstruct the evolutionary history of the snail, along with paleogeographical data, dynamics of population genetic structure were analyzed.Five primary clades for the five areas were found.
