Verification of the accuracy of the recent 50 years of tree growth and long-term change in intrinsic water-use efficiency using xylem Δ14C and δ13C in trees in an aseasonal tropical rainforest

Growth analysis based on tree-ring chronology is difficult in trees in aseasonal tropical rain forests, because annual growth rings may be unclear or completely absent. Fortunately, tree growth history recorded in xylem tissue is capable of providing valuable information on the responses of trees and forests to past and present environmental changes, including global warming. We have developed a new technique for aseasonal tropical forest trees which derives their growth rates from xylem Δ14C, and verified its accuracy. We also determined, from xylem δ13C, the intrinsic water-use efficiency (iWUE) in the past 50 years. We analyzed changes in xylem Δ14C and δ13C in 23 canopy trees of 12 species in 6 families growing in Pasoh Forest Reserve, Malaysia; each stem diameter at breast height (DBH) was recorded 14 times from 1969 to 2011. We found a significant positive relationship between the growth rates determined by 14C dating and the past DBH data. On the other hand, leaf-internal CO2 (Ci) content did not change with increasing atmospheric CO2 (Ca). Thus, the iWUE increased significantly over the last 50 years in all the families and species tested. This study showed that the simultaneous measurements of xylem Δ14C and δ13C could reveal a long-term change in tree growth and iWUE during the past 50 years with high accuracy in various species and/or individuals in aseasonal tropical rainforests exhibiting high species diversity.

Microsatellite data from: Multiple colonizations and genetic differentiation from the mainland populations in insular populations of the perennial herb Solidago virgaurea complex (Asteraceae) on recently formed nearshore oceanic islands

Aim: Although the evolution of island endemic plants has long been investigated, the majority of such studies have focused on species with remarkable levels of morphological variation and on islands substantially far from the mainland. Except for a few examples such as the Canary Islands, endemic plants on nearshore oceanic islands have received less attention. In this study, we examined the Solidago virgaurea complex on the Japanese mainland Honshu and the adjacent Izu Islands to investigate the population genetic structure and dynamics in plants endemic to nearshore and recently formed oceanic islands. Location: Japanese mainland Honshu and the adjacent Izu Islands Taxon: Solidago virgaurea (Asteraceae) Methods: Sixteen and nine populations of S. virgaurea complex were sampled from the mainland and islands, respectively; phylogeographic and population genetics analyses were performed using plastid DNA and nuclear microsatellite DNA variations. Results: Phylogenetically close plastid DNA haplotypes were shared between the mainland and islands, although the populations of S. virgaurea from different islands tended to exhibit phylogenetically distinct haplotypes. Admixture analyses based on nuclear DNA variations revealed distinct genetic structures between the mainland and island populations. Gene flow among islands is restricted but may partially offset genetic drift on each island. Main conclusions: The genetic structure observed in this study may not have originated from a single dispersal event and successive expansion but rather from at least three colonization events and subsequent gene flow among island populations. Based on the nuclear DNA variations, the Izu Island populations of S. virgaurea are genetically distinct from the mainland ones. Repeated colonization events may have provided sufficient genetic diversity, which would generally be susceptible to founder effects and exert a driving force for evolutionary adaptation, to these oceanic island populations.

Drivers of genetic differentiation and recent evolutionary history of an Eurasian wild pea

Aim: Genetic diversity is a major determinant for the capacity of species to persist and adapt to their environments. Unraveling the factors affecting genetic differentiation is crucial to understand how genetic diversity is shaped and species may react to changing environments. We investigated the drivers of genetic differentiation and their interplay with the evolutionary history in a wild pea to test how those may have affected the distribution of genetic diversity. Location: Mediterranean basin, western Asia Taxon: Pisum sativum (Fabaceae) Methods: We employed RAD-seqencing to test the influence of environmental factors on genetic differentiation in a collection of 81 wild pea samples. Demographic history and past expansion patterns were analyzed to test their effect on the current distribution of genetic diversity. Association of SNPs with environmental variables were analyses to find signatures of local adaptation. Results: Genetic variation was geographically structured into six distinct genetic clusters. The effect of the tested factors influencing genetic differentiation was variable among genetic clusters. Climate predictors were most important in all clusters. Land use was more important in clusters from areas strongly influenced by human land use, especially by agriculture. We found statistically significant associations of 3,623 SNPs with environmental variables. Most of them were correlated with latitude followed by temperature. Wild peas went through a genetic bottleneck during the last glacial period followed by population recovery. The detected range expansion patterns suggested an eastward range expansion of the European cluster to Turkey and thereof southwards and eastwards. Main conclusion: Our results suggest that it is insufficient to consider the present distribution of genetic diversity alone but rather consider it in conjunction with the evolutionary history of the respective species. Moreover, the distribution of genetic variation has to be viewed in the context of its hierarchical structure and the environment of its genetic entities to understand how this variation was shaped and may change in the future.

Species traits and CWM data: Recent warming causes functional borealization and diversity loss in deep fish communities east of Greenland

Aim: We asessed whether functional turnover in east Greenland fish driven by increased occurrence of boreal species compensates for the climate-driven loss of species thereby maintaining functional diversity and ecological function. Location: The study region encompasses a shelf and slope area located offshore between 63° N and 66° N, east of Greenland. Methods: We investigated spatio-temporal changes in fish communities based on a unique dataset covering a depth range of 1500m over 18 years combined with a demersal fish trait dataset. We analyzed the species by trait matrix using principal component analysis (PCA). To investigate trait patterns across the communities (sites), community weighted mean (CWM) traits were calculated and analysed using PCA. The CWM traits matrix was further analysed by redundancy analysis (RDA) with depth-strata and year as explanatory variables. Results: We found signs of a taxonomic and functional borealization, associated with a loss in functional diversity, down to 1000m, characterized by an increase in mobile generalists, and a decrease in bottom dwelling benthivores. The functional turnover brought about by boreal species was not sufficient to compensate for the loss of Arctic species traits, hence the loss in functional diversity. Main conclusions: The functional turnover brought about by boreal species was not sufficient to compensate for the loss of Arctic species traits that may negatively affect ecosystem robustness to environmental change. These observations are most likely not unique to this study area, and calls for the inclusion of the deep sea in climate adaptation of management strategies.
