Abstract

Cryptic phylogeographic diversifications provide unique models to examine the role of phylogenetic divergence on the evolution of reproductive isolation, without extrinsic factors such as ecological and behavioural differentiation. Yet, to date very few comparative studies have been attempted within such radiations. Here, we characterize a new speciation continuum in a group of widespread Eurasian amphibians, the Pelobates spadefoot toads, by conducting multilocus (restriction site associated DNA sequencing and mitochondrial DNA) phylogenetic, phylogeographic and hybrid zone analyses. Within the P. syriacus complex, we discovered species‐level cryptic divergences (>5 million years ago [My]) between populations distributed in the Near‐East (hereafter P. syriacus sensu stricto [s.s.]) and southeastern Europe (hereafter P. balcanicus), each featuring deep intraspecific lineages. Altogether, we could scale hybridizability to divergence time along six different stages, spanning from sympatry without gene flow (P. fuscus and P. balcanicus, >10 My), parapatry with highly restricted hybridization (P. balcanicus and P. syriacus s.s., >5 My), narrow hybrid zones (~15 km) consistent with partial reproductive isolation (P. fuscus and P. vespertinus, ~3 My), to extensive admixture between Pleistocene and refugial lineages (≤2 My). This full spectrum empirically supports a gradual build up of reproductive barriers through time, reversible up until a threshold that we estimate at ~3 My. Hence, cryptic phylogeographic lineages may fade away or become reproductively isolated species simply depending on the time they persist in allopatry, and without definite ecomorphological divergence.

Abstract

Alloparapatric species meeting in secondary contact zones are evolutionary witnesses to how reproductive isolation progresses over time and space. Western Palearctic tree frogs (Hyla) are phenotypically similar and all the species pairs tested can hybridize and eventually admix at range margins. All except one. The early-diverged Hyla meridionalis exhibits sharp phenotypic differences: a “long” breeding call and the absence of a lateral stripe. In southwestern Europe, this species co-occurs with the “short-call” striped tree frogs H. arborea and H. molleri, two expanding lineages that admix at their parapatric margins. We estimated local gene flow between these three taxa at several syntopic breeding sites in western France. We congruently matched genotypes to phenotypes: the “short-call” striped individuals were a nuclear mixture of H. arborea and H. molleri; the “long-call” stripeless individuals all featured pure H. meridionalis nuclear ancestry and mtDNA, confirming complete genetic isolation from H. arborea/molleri. Yet, we documented an F1 hybrid between a female H. arborea/molleri and a male H. meridionalis: an incompletely-striped male with an intermediate breeding call. These findings suggest H. meridionalis is still able to reproduce with parapatric congeneric species despite 20My of divergence and strong phenotypic differentiation, but that intrinsic incompatibilities (sterility) prevent genetic introgression.

Abstract

Comparative molecular studies emphasized a new biogeographic paradigm for the terrestrial fauna of North Africa, one of the last uncharted ecoregions of the Western Palearctic: two independent east-west divisions across the Maghreb. Through a comprehensive phylogeography, we assessed how this model suits the genetic diversification documented for the tree frog Hyla meridionalis sensu lato. Analyses of mtDNA variation and thousands of nuclear loci confirmed the old split (low-Pliocene) between Tunisian and Algerian populations. These lineages meet but barely admix in the eastern Maghreb (Algerian-Tunisian border), a sign of putatively advanced reproductive isolation. In the western Maghreb, we report a Pleistocene divergence between Moroccan and Algerian populations. Tree frogs thus follow both predictions: a double east-west break that gave rise to two suture zones characteristic of North-African phylogeography. Moreover, some intraspecific mtDNA variation is not mirrored by the nuclear data, emphasizing that evolutionary units should always be designated by multilocus approaches. Last but not least, we describe the Tunisian lineage as a new species endemic to Africa.

Abstract

Artificial stocking practices are widely used by resource managers worldwide, in order\ud to sustain fish populations exploited by both recreational and commercial activities,\ud but their benefits are controversial. Former practices involved exotic strains, although\ud current programs rather consider artificial breeding of local fishes (supportive breeding).\ud Understanding the complex genetic effects of these management strategies is an\ud importan t challenge with economic and conservation implications, especially in the\ud context of population declines. In this study, we focus on the declining Arctic charr\ud (Salvelinus alpinus) population from Lake Geneva (Switzerland and France), which has\ud initially been restocked with allochtonous fishes in the early eighties, followed by supportive\ud breeding. In this context, we conducted a genetic survey to document the\ud evolution of the genetic diversity and structure throughout the last 50 years, before\ud and after the initiation of hatchery supplementation, using contemporary and historical\ud samples. We show that the introduction of exotic fishes was associated with a genetic\ud bottleneck in the 1980–1990s, a break of Hardy–Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE),\ud a reduction in genetic diversity, an increase in genetic structure among spawning sites,\ud and a change in their genetic composition. Together with better environmental conditions,\ud three decades of subsequent supportive breeding using local fishes allowed to\ud re-establish HWE and the initial levels of genetic variation. However, current spawning\ud sites have not fully recovered their original genetic composition and were extensively\ud h omogenized across the lake. Our study demonstrates the drastic genetic\ud consequ e nces of different restocking tactics in a comprehensive spatiotemporal\ud framewo rk and suggests that genetic alteration by nonlocal stocking may be partly\ud reversible through supportive breeding. We recommend that conservation-based programs\ud consider local diversity and implement adequate protocols to limit the genetic\ud homogenization of this Arctic charr population.
