Abstract：
:Urmia Lake, the largest natural habitat of the brine shrimp Artemia urmiana, has progressively desiccated over the last two decades, resulting in a loss of 80% of its surface area and producing thousands of hectares of arid salty land. This ecological crisis has seriously affected the lake's native biodiversity. Artemia urmiana has lost more than 90% of its population during the decade from 1994 (rainy period) to 2004 (drought period) due to salinity increasing to saturation levels (∼300 g/l). We studied the influence of this ecological crisis on the genetic diversity of A. urmiana in Urmia Lake, based on one cyst collections in 1994 and 2004. AMOVA analysis on ISSR data demonstrated a 21% genetic variation and there was a 5.5% reduction of polymorphic loci between samples. PCoA showed that 77.42% and 68.75% of specimens clustered separately in 1994 and 2004, respectively. Our analyses of four marker genes revealed different genetic diversity patterns with a decrease of diversity at ITS1 and an increase for Na+/K+ ATPase. There was no notable difference in genetic variation detected for COI and 16S genes between the two periods. However, they represented distinctly different haplotypes. ITS1 and COI followed a population expansion model, whereas Na+/K+ ATPase and 16S were under demographic equilibrium without selective pressure in the 1994 samples. Neutrality tests confirmed the excess of rare historical and recent mutations present in COI and ITS1 in both samples. It is evident that a short-term ecological disturbance has impacted the genetic diversity and structure of A. urmiana.
