Abstract

The variation and divergence of genomic DNA in four species of the subgenus Camptochironomus (C. tentans, C. dilutus, C. pallidivittatus, and C. setivalva) differing in the level of their cytological similarity were analyzed using the RAPD (Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA) method. A high level of variation in the RAPD markers was found in the species studied. Genetic distances (GD) were assessed between natural C. tentans populations, between different species of the camptochironomus sibling species group (C. tentans, C. dilutus, and C. pallidivittatus), and between these species and C. setivalva which is outside this sibling species group. The GD values obtained characterize the levels of genomic differentiation among natural populations (GD = 0.248), among sibling species (GD = 0.635), and between incipient species (GD = 0.784) of the subgenus Camptochironomus. The degree of genomic DNA divergence between sibling and incipient species in the subgenus Camptochironomus was found to be lower than that in the genus Chironomus. The rate of genomic DNA divergence appears to be lower than the rate of chromosomal divergence in species of the subgenus Camptochironomus.
