Figure 4 in Phylogenetic biome conservatism as a key concept for an integrative understanding of evolutionary history: Galliformes and Falconiformes as study cases

Figure 4. Biome transitions in Galliformes. The number of recent species is indicated inside the circles. Arrow thickness is proportional to the number of colonizations. The dashed lines indicate only one colonization event. The number of transitions that did not imply colonization (niche conservatism) is indicated as different areas of the circles, classified in five categories. For more details about absolute scores, see Table 2.

Figure 1. A in Evolutionary History of the Subgenus Mus in Eurasia with Special Emphasis on the House Mouse Mus musculus

Figure 1. A sketch of the evolutionary patterns of lineage differentiation among species in the genus Mus based on molecular phylogenetic analysis of nuclear gene sequences (Suzuki et al., 2004; Shimada et al., 2010). The tree shows the four subgenera of the genus Mus and the four species groups (SGs) of the subgenus Mus: M. musculus, M. booduga, M. lepidoides, and M. caroli (previously termed as M. cervicolor SG), representing four geographic regions of the Palaearctic region, Indian subcontinent, Myanmar, and Southeast Asia, respectively. The taxon previously regarded as "M. cervicolor" in Thailand is here referred to as "M. sp.", due to uncertainty regarding the taxonomic status of the sampled specimens (see main text). The estimated divergence times for the subgenera and species groups are approximately 5 and 2.5 million years ago, respectively (Shimada et al., 2010). Specific habitat transitions from grasslands to forests and arid areas are marked for the species lineages of M. cookii and M. lepidoides. Predicted dispersal events between geographic regions are indicated with dotted arrows.

Figures 2–4 in Evolutionary History of the Subgenus Mus in Eurasia with Special Emphasis on the House Mouse Mus musculus

Figures 2–4. Assessment of population genetic structure using concatenated sequences (4302 bp) of seven nuclear genes. (2) Positions of the analysed regions (open triangles) in seven genes on murine chromosome 8 (Nunome et al., 2010; Kodama et al., 2013). (3) Neighbour- Net network based on concatenated sequences from 98 Mus musculus, showing haplogroups representing the subspecies groups Mus musculus domesticus (DOM), Mus musculus castaneus (CAS), and Mus musculus musculus (MUS) as well as recombinant haplotypes (Re) (Kodama et al., 2013). In the network, the level of diversity of CAS is markedly higher than those of DOM and MUS, yielding five distinct phylogroups A–E. Scale bar indicates genetic divergence. (4) Approximate geographic ranges of the five subclusters of CAS. Localities where samples used in this analysis were collected are marked with open and filled circles, representing the mitochondrial haplogroup CAS-1 and all other types, respectively (Kodama et al., 2013). The phylogroups A–E of CAS showed rough geographical distributions and one of them, phylogroup D, comprised the haplotypes recovered from a large geographical area of Southeast Asia, south China, and Indonesia and can be characterized as the lineage dispersed with prehistoric human movement (arrow; Kodama et al., 2015). Note that subcluster D (arrow in Fig. 3) shows a broad distribution range in Southeast Asia and the southern part of East Asia. In the Neighbor-Net network, this subcluster exhibits limited divergence among haplotypes.

Data from: Rtapas: An R package to assess cophylogenetic signal between two evolutionary histories

<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Cophylogeny represents a framework to understand how ecological and evolutionary process influence lineage diversification. The recently developed algorithm Random Tanglegram Partitions provides a directly interpretable statistic to quantify the strength of cophylogenetic signal and incorporates phylogenetic uncertainty into its estimation, and maps onto a tanglegram the contribution to cophylogenetic signal of individual host-symbiont associations. We introduce </span><span>Rtapas</span><span>, an R package to perform Random Tanglegram Partitions. </span><span>Rtapas</span><span> </span><span>applies a given global-fit method to random partial tanglegrams of a fixed size to identify the associations, terminals, and internal nodes that maximize phylogenetic congruence. This new package extends the original implementation with a new algorithm that examines the contribution to phylogenetic incongruence of each host-symbiont association and adds ParaFit, a method designed to test for topological congruence between two phylogenies, to the list of global-fit methods than can be applied. </span><span>Rtapas</span><span> </span><span>facilitates and speeds up cophylogenetic analysis, as it can handle large phylogenies (100+ terminals) in affordable computational time as illustrated with two real-world examples. </span><span>Rtapas</span><span> </span><span>can particularly cater for the need for causal inference in cophylogeny in two domains: (i) Analysis of complex and intricate host-symbiont evolutionary histories and (ii) assessment of topological (in)congruence between phylogenies produced with different DNA markers and specifically identify subsets of loci for phylogenetic analysis that are most likely to reflect gene-tree evolutionary histories.</span></p>

A new molecular phylogeny of salps (Tunicata: Thalicea: Salpida) and the evolutionary history of their colonial architecture

<p>Salps are marine pelagic urochordates with a complex life cycle including a solitary and colonial stage composed of asexually-budded individuals. These colonies develop into species-specific architectures with distinct zooid orientations, including transversal, oblique, linear, helical, and bipinnate chains; as well as whorls, and clusters. The evolutionary history of salp colony architecture has remained obscured due to the lack of a homology-based ontology to characterize architectures, as well as a lack of phylogenetic taxon sampling and resolution of critical nodes. We (1) collected and first-time sequenced eight species of salps, (2) inferred the phylogenetic relationships among salps, and (3) reconstructed the evolutionary history of salp colony architecture. We collected salp specimens via offshore SCUBA diving, dissected tissue samples, extracted their DNA, amplified their 18S gene, and sequenced them using Sanger technology. We inferred a new molecular phylogeny using both Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian approaches. Using this phylogeny, we reconstructed the ancestral states of colony architecture using a Bayesian ordered Markov model informed by the presence and absence of specific developmental mechanisms that lead to each architecture. We find that the ancestral salp architecture is either oblique or linear, with every other state being derived. Moreover, linear chains have evolved independently at least three times. While transversal chains are developmentally basal and hypothesized to be ancestral, our phylogenetic topology and reconstructions strongly indicate that they are evolutionarily derived through the loss of zooid torsion. These traits are likely critical to multijet locomotory performance and evolving under natural selection. Our work showcases the need to study the broader diversity of salp species in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of their organismal biology, evolutionary history, and ecological roles in pelagic ecosystems.</p>

Population demographic history and evolutionary rescue: Influence of a bottleneck event

<p class="p1">Rapid environmental change presents a significant challenge to the persistence of natural populations. Rapid adaptation that increases population growth, enabling populations that declined following severe environmental change to grow and avoid extinction, is called evolutionary rescue. Numerous studies have shown that evolutionary rescue can indeed prevent extinction. Here, we extend those results by considering the demographic history of populations. To evaluate how demographic history influences evolutionary rescue, we created 80 populations of red flour beetle, <em>Tribolium castaneum</em>, with three classes of demographic history: diverse populations that did not experience a bottleneck, and populations that experienced either an intermediate or a strong bottleneck. We subjected these populations to a new and challenging environment for six discrete generations and tracked extinction and population size. Populations that did not experience a bottleneck in their demographic history avoided extinction entirely, while more than 20% of populations that experienced an intermediate or strong bottleneck went extinct. Similarly, among the extant populations at the end of the experiment, adaptation increased the growth rate in the novel environment the most for populations that had not experienced a bottleneck in their history. Taken together, these results highlight the importance of considering the demographic history of populations to make useful and effective conservation decisions and management strategies for populations experiencing environmental change that pushes them toward extinction.</p>
