[Molecular genetic diagnostics of some Daphnia species (Crustacea, Cladocera) from the Volga river].
Population genetic structure of the widespread Daphnia species from Kuibyshev and Saratov reservoirs was examined by use of RAPD-PCR technique with four mitochondrial DNA (16S rRNA) specific primers. One of the examined Daphnia clones from the Volga region appeared to be conspecific to the North American Daphnia galeata, while another clone was most likely a hybrid between D. galeata and D. cucullata.
