The evolutionary history of the white Wagtail species complex, (Passeriformes: Motacillidae: Motacilla alba)
Contributions to Zoology, 2019Co-Authors: Maliheh Pirayesh Shirazinejad, Mansour Aliabadian, Omid MirshamsiAbstract:The white Wagtail (Motacilla alba) species complex with its distinctive plumage in separate geographical areas can serve as a model to test evolutionary hypotheses. Its extensive variety in plumage, despite the genetic similarity between taxa, and the evolutionary events connected to this variety are poorly understood. Therefore we sampled in the breeding range of the white Wagtail: 338 individuals were analyzed from 74 areas in the Palearctic and Mediterranean. We studied the white Wagtail complex based on two mitochondrial DNA markers to make inferences about the evolutionary history. Our phylogenetic trees highlight mtDNA sequences (ND2, CR), and one nuclear marker (CHD1Z), which partly correspond to earlier described clades: the northern Palearctic (clade N); eastern and central Asia (clade SE); south-western Asia west to the British Isles (clade SW); and Morocco (clade M). The divergence of all clades occurred during the Pleistocene. We also used ecological niche modelling for three genetic lineages (excluding clade M); results showed congruence between niche and phylogenetic divergence in these clades. The results of the white Wagtail ancestral area reconstruction showed the influence of dispersal on the distribution and divergence of this complex species. The most important vicariance event for the white Wagtail complex may have been caused by the Gobi and Taklamakan deserts. We conclude that the ancestral area of the white Wagtail complex was probably in the Mediterranean, with its geography having a considerable effect on speciation processes.

Genetic Divergence of the Species of the Yellow Wagtails Group (Passeriformes, Motacillidae) in European Territory of Russia
Vestnik Zoologii, 2016Co-Authors: E. A. Artemieva, A. V. Mishchenko, D. K. MakarovAbstract:Abstract Phenotypic and genotypic diversity of populations of species of the yellow Wagtails in the space of their ranges in a wide sympatry reflects the mechanisms of reproductive isolation of species and forms of subspecies rank and features of microevolution group - polytypic complex Motacilla flava Linnaeus, 1758. The distribution of species of the yellow Wagtails in the European part of Russia is sympatric. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether sympatric settlement led to any genetic separation between the populations of these species. 20 blood samples and 2 samples of eggs collected in areas geographically representing the MID and the southern Russian breeding populations of these species, including all juvenile ringed in 2012, were used. After the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) 4 types of the yellow Wagtails group Motacilla flava L., 1758; M. feldegg Michahelles, 1830; M. lutea (S. G. Gmelin, 1774); M. cilreola Pallas, 1776 (Passeriformes, Motacillidae) were sequenced. After aligning the sequences of the gene cytochrome oxidase I, based on the comparison of genetic distances between these species phylogenetic tree of genus Motacilla was constructed. These results suggest that, despite the broad sympatry in nesting places, there is a selective mating between males and females of each species studied in spite of the free crossing and insulating mechanisms in populations.

Vestnik Zoologii, 2016Co-Authors: E. A. Artemieva, A. V. Mishchenko, D. K. MakarovAbstract:Abstract Blood samples of “yellow” Wagtails collected in the areas geographically representing the Middle Volga breeding populations of these species were investigated. After isolation of mtDNA barkoding of studied “yellow” Wagtails species was conducted. Amplification of the subunit of cytochrome oxidase I gene used as a genetic marker for the comparison of the samples was carried out. After sequencing and sequence alignment of gene cytochrome c-oxidase I, based on the comparison of genetic distances between individuals of the studied species using Jalview phylogenetic trees of populations of species Motacilla flava Linnaeus, 1758 and Motacilla citreola Pallas, 1776 were constructed.

International Journal of Biology, 2016Co-Authors: E. A. Artemieva, A. V. Mishchenko, D. K. MakarovAbstract:Blood samples of so-called “yellow” Wagtails collected in geographical areas of Middle Volga breeding populations of these species were studied. After mtDNA isolation barcoding of studied species of "yellow" Wagtails was performed. Site of gene cytochromec-oxidase I was amplified. This gene was used as a genetic marker for the comparison of obtained samples. After sequencing and sequence alignment of gene cytochrome c-oxidase I, based on the comparison of genetic distances between specimens of the studied species using Jalview software, phylogenetic trees of populations of species Motacilla flava L. and Motacilla citreola Pall. were constructed.

Breeding Biology of Blackheaded Wagtail Motacilla feldegg Michahhelles, 1830 (Passeriformes, Motacillidae, Motacillinae) in South of Russia
International Journal of Biology, 2014Co-Authors: E. A. Artemieva, I. V. MuravievAbstract:Species-specific features of blackheaded Wagtail Motacilla feldegg Michahelles, 1830 (Passeriformes, Motacillidae, Motacillinae) breeding biology were identified in south of Russia. A tendency to current species range shift is traced. Critical estimation of literary information about some peculiarities of reproduction and ecology of black-headed Wagtail is carrying out on boundary XIX-XXI centuries, estimation of contemporary quantity, limited factories and regularities of species distribution on research territory of European part of Russia are gived. Distribution and quantity M. feldegg are irregular in this region and determine by presence of nesting biotopes and potential forage reserve. General character of distribution of this species estimates as a local and not numerous that gives foundation to include M. feldegg to some region Red Data Books of Russia and neighboring countries.
