Abstract

The adaptive landscape is an important diagrammatic concept that was conceived in population genetics. During the Modern Synthesis, in the first half of the twentieth century, the landscape imagery was used to represent evolution on a large scale, aiding in the construction of a common language for a new evolution- ary biology. Not only historic adaptive landscapes by Dobzhansky, Simpson, and others are a record of how macroevolution was thought of in those decades; they stimulate reflection on “combination spaces” that underlie them. In fact, any land- scape diagram is the three-dimensional transposition of a multidimensional space of combinations of genes, morphological traits, or other kinds of variables. This is an important and enduring general point of awareness: The diagram displays some aspects of the considered space while hiding others, exposing the author and the user to incomplete understanding and to conflating different spaces. Today, macroevolution is studied as a multifarious exploration of spaces of possibilities of all different sorts, interconnected in complex ways: genotype spaces, molecu- lar spaces, morphospaces, geographical spaces, ecological spaces, and genea- logical spaces. Actual macroevolutionary stories and outcomes are a subset of the universes of possible combinations—of genes, nucleotides, morphological traits, and environmental variables. Visualizations of macroevolution are a challenge of showing both distinction and correlation between spaces of possibilities.

Abstract

Many fields and approaches evidence, quantify, and analyze macroevolution. From biogeography to paleontology, from ecology to phylo- genetics, and from biophysics to philosophy of biology, macroevolution elicits definitions and theoretical problems related to concepts such as species, lineage, ecology, niches, and extinction, which are relevant for general evolutionary biology. Macroevolutionary theories provide new epistemic frameworks to explain evolution in deep time, and macroevolution is also a phenomenon exemplified by myriads of real life-history case studies. This volume Macroevolution: Interpretation, Evidence and Explanation samples the rich reservoir of macroevolutionary knowledge, and evidences the macroevolutionary phenomenon in various episodes in time.

21. Mitochondrial DNA sequences and multiple data sets: a phylogenetic study of phytophagous beetles (Chrysomelidae: Ophraella).

Author

Funk, D J, Futuyma, D J, Ortí, G, and Meyer, A

Abstract

This paper presents the phylogenetic infrastructure for an integrated historical and experimental study of host use evolution in the chrysomelid leaf beetle genus Ophraella. We report the collection of sequence data from the 16S ribosomal RNA (446 bp) and the cytochrome oxidase subunit I (420 bp) mitochondrial genes from 12 species of Ophraella and two outgroups. Sequence analysis revealed a strong A + T nucleotide bias, high interspecific COI sequence divergences (up to 21.4%) that greatly exceeded those for 16S (up to 5.9%), high intraspecific COI divergences (up to 3.8%), a dearth of amino acid substitutions in COI, and differing substitution patterns in ribosomal stems and loops. Intraspecific variation in COI haplotypes generally supported the genealogical coherence of Ophraella lineages, while suggesting two cases of paraphyletic species. Separate phylogenetic analyses of 16S and COI data sets yielded largely congruent trees. A combined 16S + COI analysis yielded a single shortest tree under maximum parsimony that was identical to trees provided by successive approximations, neighbor-joining, and maximum-likelihood methods. This topology proved robust to various forms of weighting and most nodes were highly supported (by bootstrap analysis). Separate parsimony analyses of mtDNA and previously collected morphological and electromorphic data sets revealed congruent estimates of all cladistic relationships except those within one clade. Analysis of the pooled data sets in a combined approach additionally provided support for the basal placement of two species from this clade, although the topology for the remaining species was weakly supported and incongruent with the mtDNA tree. Each data set contained significantly structured phylogenetic signal with respect to this clade, and data sets exhibited limited conflict (character incongruence) with each other. The combined data set, however, was found to lack phylogenetic signal. These observations may imply that pooling heterogeneously evolving classes of data obscured the phylogenetic signal in each, a potential limitation of the combined approach.
