Data from: Spatiotemporally explicit demographic modelling supports a joint effect of historical barriers to dispersal and contemporary landscape composition on structuring genomic variation in a red-listed grasshopper

Inferring the processes underlying spatial patterns of genomic variation is fundamental to understand how organisms interact with landscape heterogeneity and to identify the factors determining species distributional shifts. Here, we employ genomic data (ddRADSeq) to test biologically-informed models representing historical and contemporary demographic scenarios of population connectivity for the Iberian cross-backed grasshopper Dociostaurus hispanicus, a species with a narrow distribution that currently forms highly fragmented populations. All models incorporated biological aspects of the focal taxon that could hypothetically impact its geographical patterns of genomic variation, including (a) spatial configuration of impassable barriers to dispersal defined by topographic landscapes not occupied by the species, (b) distributional shifts resulted from the interaction between the species bioclimatic envelope and Pleistocene glacial cycles, and (c) contemporary distribution of suitable habitats after extensive land clearing for agriculture. Spatiotemporally-explicit simulations under different scenarios considering these aspects and statistical evaluation of competing models within an Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) framework supported spatial configuration of topographic barriers to dispersal and human-driven habitat fragmentation as the main factors explaining the geographical distribution of genomic variation in the species, with no apparent impact of hypothetical distributional shifts linked to Pleistocene climatic oscillations. Collectively, this study supports that both historical (i.e., topographic barriers) and contemporary (i.e., anthropogenic habitat fragmentation) aspects of landscape composition have shaped major axes of genomic variation in the studied species and emphasizes the potential of model-based approaches to gain insights into the temporal scale at which different processes impact the demography of natural populations.

Historical rice farming in China linked to contemporary polygenic score differences

<p>Following domestication in the lower Yangtze River valley 9,400 years ago, rice farming spread throughout China and changed lifestyle patterns among Neolithic populations. Here we report evidence that the advent of rice domestication and cultivation may have shaped humans not only culturally but also genetically. Leveraging recent findings from molecular genetics, we construct a number of polygenic scores of behavioural traits and examine their associations with rice cultivation based on a sample of 4,101 individuals recently collected from Mainland China. A total of nine polygenic traits and genotypes are investigated in this study, including polygenic scores of height, body mass index, depression, time discounting, reproduction, educational attainment, risk preference, <i>ADH1B</i> rs1229984 and <i>ALDH2</i> rs671. Two-stage least squares estimates of the county-level percentage of cultivated land devoted to paddy rice on the polygenic score of age at first birth (<i>b</i> = -0.029, <i>p</i> = 0.021) and <i>ALDH2</i> rs671 (<i>b</i> = 0.182, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001) are both statistically significant and robust to a wide range of potential confounds and alternative explanations. These findings imply that rice farming may influence human evolution in relatively recent human history.</p>

Figure 2. Minimum spanning tree depicting haplotype relationships for concatenated control region/nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dehydrogenase subunit 4 (ND4) mtDNA from Elseya albagula across ten locations. Circles represent unique haplotypes and are connected to one another by mutational changes (lines). Crossbars indicate additional mutational steps and circle size is proportional to the number of individuals sharing that haplotype. Colours indicate geographical source of haplotypes.
