The European Pine Marten (Linnaeus, 1758) Is Autochthonous in Sicily and Constitutes a Well-Characterised Major Phylogroup within the Species (Carnivora, Mustelidae). | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • Molecular data for the European pine marten in Sicily was previously unavailable, making it difficult to determine whether the species is native or non-native on the island.
  • Research involving the sequencing of mitochondrial DNA in road-killed specimens revealed a distinct Sicilian clade, indicating that this group is endemic to Sicily and closely related to other Mediterranean and Central-North European populations.
  • This finding suggests that the Sicilian population is native, having colonized the island during the Pleistocene, and emphasizes the need for monitoring to protect this unique evolutionary lineage.

Article Abstract

No molecular data are currently available for the Sicilian populations of the European pine marten , thus preventing any sound inference about its native or non-native status on the island, as well as the local phylogeography of the species. In order to investigate these issues, we sequenced two mtDNA markers in road-killed specimens collected in Sicily. Both markers consistently demonstrated the existence of a well-characterised Sicilian clade of the species, which is endemic to the island and constitutes the sister group of a clade including the Mediterranean and Central-North European major phylogroups of the European pine marten. Such evidence supports the autochthony of in Sicily and points to a natural Pleistocene colonisation of the island followed by isolation. The occurrence of a, to date undetected, major phylogroup of the species in Sicily calls for the dedicated monitoring of the Sicilian populations of the species in order to preserve this evolutionarily significant unit.
