Data from: Linking genetic and ecological differentiation in an ungulate with a circumpolar distribution
Genetic differentiation among populations may arise from the disruption of gene flow due to local adaptation to distinct environments and/or neutral accumulation of mutations and genetic drift resulted from geographical isolation. Quantifying the role of these processes in determining the genetic structure of natural populations remains challenging. Here, we analyze the relative contribution of isolation-by-resistance (IBR), isolation-by-environment (IBE), genetic drift and historical isolation in allopatry during Pleistocene glacial cycles on shaping patterns of genetic differentiation in caribou/reindeer populations (Rangifer tarandus) across the entire distribution range of the species. Our study integrates analyses at range-wide and regional scales to partial out the effects of historical and contemporary isolation mechanisms. At the circumpolar scale, our results indicate that genetic differentiation is predominantly explained by IBR and historical isolation. At a regional scale, we found that environmental dissimilarity and population size significantly explained the spatial distribution of genetic variation among populations belonging to the Euro-Beringian lineage within North America. In contrast, genetic differentiation among populations within the North American lineage was predominantly explained by IBR and population size, but not IBE. We also found discrepancies between genetic and ecotype designation across the Holarctic species distribution range. Overall, these results indicate that multiple isolating mechanisms have played roles in shaping the spatial distribution of genetic variation across the distribution range of a large mammal with high potential for gene flow. Considering multiple spatial scales and simultaneously testing a comprehensive suite of potential isolating mechanisms, our study contributes to understand the ecological and evolutionary processes underlying organism–landscape interactions.

Figure 1 in Distribution of the meadow lizard in Europe and its realized ecological niche model
Figure 1. Distribution map of the meadow lizard (Darevskia praticola) in south-eastern Europe given on an MGRS UTM 10 × 10 km grid scale. A small overview map shows the study region and the two separate parts of the meadow lizard distribution – separate geographic units and evolutionary lineages of the species (modified from Agasyan et al. 2009). Letters on the distribution map refer to the names of larger (100 × 100 km) MGRS squares. Occurrence records were compiled from a large literature survey and our own data (see Supplemental material 1) and classified on the map according to the time frame of the findings.

Figure 2. Habitat suitability maps for the meadow lizard (Darevskia praticola) in south-eastern Europe given separately for the low resolution (a) and the high resolution ecological niche model (b). Training points used for fitting the ecological niche models are represented with white dots, while the discarded occurrences are shown as '×' signs and placed for the overall visual representation of the model accuracy.
Figure 3 in Distribution of the meadow lizard in Europe and its realized ecological niche model
Figure 3. Examples showing details from the forest cover (Vegetation Continuous Fields layer) and the Maxent's habitat suitability map for the meadow lizard (Darevskia praticola). The maps show two localities: (a) a part of a fragmented forest area in southern Romania where the species occurs, and (b) an area near the Danube River along the border between Serbia and Romania, which is one of the places of greater habitat suitability for this species. The maps also show the difference between the low (upper images) and high (lower images) resolution of both the VCF layer and the habitat suitability.

Figure 2. A in The den ecology and the effects of fishing pressure on the distribution of Octopus cyanea (Octopodidae: Mollusca) in Rodrigues lagoon, Rodrigues, Mauritius
Figure 2. A map of the 12 survey locations within the Rodrigues lagoon, with labels for each station number (square = stations 1A-1D, stars = stations 2A-2D, triangles = stations 3A-3D). The grey dashed line shows the edge of the fringing lagoon. The sites were chosen based on specific coral biotopes as determined during ground-truthing surveys (Turner and Chapman 2004) The location of the Shoals Rodrigues base centre is shown to illustrate that the sites were also chosen because of proximity to the base.
