Short communication Species polyphyly and mtDNA introgression among three Serrasalmus sister-species
Understanding the processes that generated pattern of DNA variation in natural populations may be a difficult task. Since migration and gene flow may superimpose to genetic drift and divergence, evolutionary forces responsible of shared polymorphism may be difficult to identify (Pamilo and Nei, 1988; Nielsen and Wakeley, 2001). In this context, the raise of the coalescent theory constituted a s...
متن کاملExtensive introgressive hybridization within the northern oriole group (Genus Icterus) revealed by three-species isolation with migration analysis
Until recently, studies of divergence and gene flow among closely-related taxa were generally limited to pairs of sister taxa. However, organisms frequently exchange genes with other non-sister taxa. The "northern oriole" group within genus Icterus exemplifies this problem. This group involves the extensively studied hybrid zone between Baltimore oriole (Icterus galbula) and Bullock's oriole (I...
متن کاملEvolutionary basis of mitonuclear discordance between sister species of mole salamanders (Ambystoma sp.).
Distinct genetic markers should show similar patterns of differentiation between species reflecting their common evolutionary histories, yet there are increasing examples of differences in the biogeographic distribution of species-specific nuclear (nuDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variants within and between species. Identifying the evolutionary processes that underlie these anomalous patte...
متن کاملRecurrent introgression of mitochondrial DNA among hares (Lepus spp.) revealed by species-tree inference and coalescent simulations.
Understanding recent speciation history requires merging phylogenetic and population genetics approaches, taking into account the persistence of ancestral polymorphism and possible introgression. The emergence of a clear phylogeny of hares (genus Lepus) has been hampered by poor genomic sampling and possible occurrence of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) introgression from the arctic/boreal Lepus timi...
متن کاملGenetic drift or natural selection? Hybridization and asymmetric mitochondrial introgression in two Caribbean lizards (Anolis pulchellus and Anolis krugi).
Hybridization and gene introgression can occur frequently between closely related taxa, but appear to be rare phenomena among members of the species-rich West Indian radiation of Anolis lizards. We investigated the pattern and possible mechanism of introgression between two sister species from Puerto Rico, Anolis pulchellus and Anolis krugi, using mitochondrial (ND2) and nuclear (DNAH3, NKTR) D...
