摘　　要：The Hooded Crane (Grus monacha) is a waterbird wintering in the wetlands of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, China. The gradual habitat loss resulting from wetland degradation may have posed negative effects on the structure of our wintering populations. For its effective protection, it is important to conduct an intensive study on the genetic structure of this population. A total of 221 faecal samples, nine feather samples and four muscle samples of Hooded Cranes from four wintering populations, i.e., from Caizi Lake and Shengjin Lake in Anhui, Poyang Lake in Jiangxi and Chongming Dongtan in Shanghai, were collected for this study. Full-length 1103–1104 bp mtDNA D-loop sequences from 72 samples were amplified using PCR. Based on our amplified D-loop sequences and the sequences of two individual birds obtained from GenBank (AB017625 and AB023813), we analyzed the genetic structure of these four wintering Hooded Crane populations. Twenty six variable sites were found among 72 target sequences in the four wintering populations and 23 haplotypes were defined. Genetic diversity analyses showed that the haplotype diversity of Hooded Cranes was 0.823 ± 0.042 with a nucleotide diversity of 0.00157 ± 0.00021. The FST values of the four populations show that there is no significant genetic differentiation among the populations of Hooded Cranes wintering in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Tajima’s D and Fu’s tests suggest that the Hooded Crane populations may have experienced population expansion in their evolutionary history.白头鹤(Grus monacha)是我国长江中下游湿地的越冬水鸟,湿地退化导致栖息地逐渐丧失,影响越冬种群的稳定,开展种群遗传结构研究对越冬白头鹤的有效保护具有积极意义。本研究共采集安徽菜子湖、升金湖、江西鄱阳湖、上海崇明东滩4个白头鹤越冬地粪便样品221份、羽毛样品9份和肌肉样品4份,从中获得了72份样品的mtDNA控制区(D-loop)1103-1104bp序列。结合从GenBank获得的两个来自日本的白头鹤个体序列(GenBank AB017625、AB023813),对越冬种群进行了遗传结构分析。长江中下游4个越冬种群共发现26个变异位点,定义了23种单倍型。遗传多样性分析结果显示,白头鹤单倍型多样性(h)为0.823±0.042,核苷酸多样性(π)为0.00157±0.00021。各个种群FST值表明我国长江中下游各种群之间无显著的遗传分化。两种中性检验(Tajima’sD = 2.10951, p < 0.05;Fu’s FS=19.351, p < 0.01)分析结果表明,白头鹤在进化史上可能经历了种群扩张。
