Abstract:
:A temporal analysis of a hybrid zone between chromosomal races of Mus musculus domesticus was performed to evaluate its dynamics over a 20-year period. The transect chosen was one previously analysed by Spirito et al. (1980) across the hycbrid zone between the chromosomal race CD 2n=22 (central Italy) and the surrounding populations with standard karyotype (2n=40). The results show that 20 years of hybridization have not had any significant effect on the position of this hybrid zone, nor on the location of its extreme margin, except for one site for which passive transport of mice may have been important. The absence of a significant shift of the tension zone excludes a possible imbalance between the two cytotypes; a fitness superiority of one homozygote greater than 0.01 would have produced an appreciable shift of the zone. The internal chromosomal structure of the zone shows a constant gradual increase in metacentric chromosome frequency towards the localities nearest the area inhabited by the 22-CD homozygote population. This contrasts with the previously reported data which indicated an irregular trend, particularly evident for the Rb(3.8), Rb(5.17) and Rb(6.13) chromosomes. For each Rb metacentric, we observed greater values of FST in the past sample than in the present one. These differences reveal a tendency towards the homogenization of adjacent populations, perhaps because of greater migration between adjacent demes resulting from increased commercial traffic. The Mantel test was performed for both temporal samples. A positive correlation between the geographical and chromosomal differentiation was demonstrated.
