“…The difference between the species was, however, less pronounced in our study than previously reported for allozymes and microsatellites (M. ruginodis, F ST = 0.004-0.027; M. rubra, F ST = 0.089-0.261; Seppä & Pamilo, 1995;Nash et al, 2008;Vepsäläinen et al, 2009). Such distinctions between nuclear and mitochondrial markers may result, for example, from sex-biased dispersal Caparroz et al, 2009), commonly found in ants (Sundström et al, 2005), or from different evolutionary dynamics of mtDNA and microsatellite markers (Avise, 2004).…”

Aim Here we compare the phylogeographies of the ants Myrmica ruginodis and Myrmica rubra. We test the hypotheses that owing to differences in their cold tolerance and life-history traits, M. ruginodis has less differentiated populations, a weaker phylogeographical structure and some Pleistocene refugia further north than M. rubra.Location The Palaearctic region, from western Europe to Siberia and from Fennoscandia to the northern parts of the Mediterranean peninsulas and Turkey.Methods We sequenced mitochondrial DNA from M. ruginodis samples collected in 53 localities, and used the GenBank sequences of M. rubra individuals from 95 localities, presented in previous work. We studied the genetic diversity of M. ruginodis, the differentiation of its populations, and the geographical distribution and expansion of its haplogroups.Results Populations of M. rubra were genetically slightly more differentiated than those of M. ruginodis, but we did not obtain differences in their phylogeographical structures. Both species had a west-east phylogeographical structure with secondary contact zone in between, and many haplogroups were widely distributed. Main conclusionsThe different life histories of the species (monogynemonocalic versus polygyne-polycalic) seem to have affected population differentiation on a local rather than a phylogeographical scale. Myrmica ruginodis survived the last glaciation in several refugia in the Mediterranean peninsulas and probably in Siberiaas did M. rubrabut also in Turkey. Circumstantial evidence supported the hypothesis of additional, more northerly refugia of the cold-tolerant M. ruginodis close to the southern edge of the permafrost of the Last Glacial Maximum, whereas for M. rubra a northern refugium in western Europe may have also existed. Post-glacial recolonization of both species took place from both the south-west and south-east, and probably also from the east. The origins of the eastern lineages of M. ruginodis were, however, difficult to localize, which stresses the importance of extensive sampling in the east when studying the phylogeography of European taxa.

“…Such discrepancies in genetic structure are frequently reported for avian species (e.g. Johnson et al 2003;Caparroz et al 2009;Hefti-Gautschi et al 2009) and are often attributed to sex-biased dispersal where a weaker mitochondrial structure would indicate female-biased dispersal. This is unlikely to be the case in choughs.…”

Pronounced genetic structure and low genetic diversity in European red-billed chough (Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax) populations

et al. 2012

The red-billed chough (Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax) is of conservation concern in the British Isles and continental Europe, with historically declining populations and a highly fragmented distribution. We quantified the distribution of genetic variation within and among European populations to identify isolated populations that may need to be managed as demographically independent units, and assess whether individual populations are denuded of genetic diversity and so may show reduced viability. We genotyped 326 choughs from ten wild populations and 22 from one captive population at 16 nuclear microsatellite loci, and sequenced 34 individuals across three mitochondrial regions to quantify genetic structure, diversity and phylogeography. Microsatellite diversity was low (often \4 alleles per locus), but pairwise population differentiation was high (often D est [ 0.1), with a signature of isolationby-distance. Bayesian-inferred a posteriori genetic clusters coincided with a priori populations, supporting strong genetic structure. Microsatellites also allowed us to identify the probable origin of the captive choughs and one recently founded wild population. Mitochondrial DNA sequence diversity was low (p = 0.00103). Phylogeographic structure was consequently poorly resolved, but indicated that sampled continentalEuropean populations are ancestral to British Isles populations, which comprised a single clade. Our data suggest that British Isles chough populations are relatively isolated with infrequent gene flow and relatively genetically depauperate, potentially requiring genetic management. These findings should be integrated into conservation management policy to ensure longterm viability of chough populations.

“…The distinctions between nuclear and mitochondrial markers are common and may be influenced by patterns of, for example, mating, sex-biased dispersal (Chesser & Baker, 1996;Miller, Haig & Wagner, 2005;Caparroz, Miyaki & Baker, 2009) or different evolutionary dynamics of the markers (Frankham et al, 2002). Despite some discordance in results of both markers, the main patterns were similar.…”

Knowledge of patterns of genetic diversity in populations of threatened species is vital for their effective conservation. Rosalia longicorn (Rosalia alpina) is an endangered and strictly protected beetle. Despite a marked decline in part of its range, the beetle has recently expanded to the lowlands of Central Europe. To facilitate a better understanding of the species' biology, recent expansion and more effective conservation measures, we investigated patterns of genetic structure among 32 populations across Central and South‐east Europe. Eight microsatellite loci and a partial mitochondrial gene (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I) were used as markers. Both markers showed a significant decline in genetic diversity with latitude, suggesting a glacial refugium in north‐western Greece. The cluster analysis of the nuclear marker indicated the existence of two genetically distinct lineages meeting near the border between the Western and Eastern Carpathians. By contrast, one widespread mtDNA haplotype was dominant in most populations, leading to the assumption that a rapid expansion of a single lineage occurred across the study area. The genetic differentiation among populations from the north‐western part of the study area was, however, surprisingly low. They lacked any substructure and isolation‐by‐distance on a scale of up to 600 km. This result suggests a strong dispersal capacity of the species, as well as a lack of migration barriers throughout the study area. That the lowland populations are closely related to those from the nearby mountains indicates repeated colonization of the lowlands. Our results further suggest that R. alpina mostly lives in large, open populations. Large‐scale conservation measures need to be applied to allow for its continued existence.
