Statistical hypothesis testing in intraspecific phylogeography: nested clade phylogeographical analysis vs. approximate Bayesian computation.
Nested clade phylogeographical analysis (NCPA) and approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) have been used to test phylogeographical hypotheses. Multilocus NCPA tests null hypotheses, whereas ABC discriminates among a finite set of alternatives. The interpretive criteria of NCPA are explicit and allow complex models to be built from simple components. The interpretive criteria of ABC are ad hoc a...
متن کاملApproximate Bayesian Computation Phylogeography of montane grasshoppers
Lacey Knowles studied grasshoppers in the genus Melanopus. She collected 1275bp of DNA sequence data from cytochrome oxidase I (COI) from 124 individuals of M. oregonensis and two outgroup speices. The specimens were collected from 15 “sky-island” sites in the northern Rocky Mountains (see Figure 1; [5]). Two alternative hypotheses had been proposed to describe the evolutionary relationships am...
متن کاملA Bayesian approach to Nested Clade Analysis
The purpose of this study is to identify genetically distinct clusters of individuals based on related characteristic traits (namely phenotypic data) or geographical locations (namely phylogeographic data). There are 2 main steps to this process: inferring the genetic history of the sequences under study, and subsequently identifying significant clusters according to the phenotypic/phylogeograp...
متن کاملCoalescent approaches to phylogeography and approximate Bayesian Computation
Last time we saw an early example of using coalescent theory to distinguish between two scenarios describing the history of populations. In the example we considered, Knowles [9] compared two scenarios, the “widespread ancestor” and the “multiple glacial refugia” scenarios. To make the comparison she simulated data under the “widespread ancestor” hypothesis, collected the samples into a multipl...
متن کاملNested clade phylogeographical analysis of the finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides) inhabiting Chinese and Japanese coasts.
The finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides) is a small cetacean whose survival is largely affected by human activity. The characteristics and structures of 3 populations in China and 4 to 5 populations in Japan have been well documented, although their history and origins remain poorly understood. In this study, nested clade phylogeographical analysis was applied to mtDNA sequences from fin...
