“…The first is that Iberian populations of U. laevis represent previously unrecognized native populations. Many widespread temperate trees in the Western Palaearctic show strong longitudinal population structure associated with discrete putative glacial refugia (for example, Petit et al, 2002;Hampe et al, 2003;Magri et al, 2010). In all cases so far studied, each refuge is characterized by private genetic variation, accumulated during glacial advance.…”

“…In the absence of fossil data, neutral genetic markers can offer evidence as to the native status of populations of uncertain origin. Native Iberian populations of widespread European trees are commonly divergent genetically from populations in central and eastern Europe, reflecting confinement to, and limited gene flow between, discrete glacial refugia through the Pleistocene (King and Ferris, 1998;Petit et al, 2002;Hampe et al, 2003;Rendell and Ennos, 2003;Heuertz et al, 2004;Magri et al, 2006;Maliouchenko et al, 2007). Such separation is also commonly associated with region-specific genetic variation in Iberia and immediately contiguous regions of southern France that is absent from Central Europe and regions further east.…”

Conservation policies usually focus on in situ protection of native populations, a priority that requires accurate assessment of population status. Distinction between native and introduced status can be particularly difficult (and at the same time, is most important) for species whose natural habitat has become both rare and highly fragmented. Here, we address the status of the white elm (Ulmus laevis Pallas), a European riparian tree species whose populations have been fragmented by human activity and is protected wherever it is considered native. Small populations of this species are located in Iberia, where they are unprotected because they are considered introductions due to their rarity. However, Iberia and neighbouring regions in southwestern France have been shown to support discrete glacial refuge populations of many European trees, and the possibility remains that Iberian white elms are native relicts. We used chloroplast RFLPs and nuclear microsatellites to establish the relationship between populations in Iberia and the Central European core distribution. Bayesian approaches revealed significant spatial structure across populations. Those in Iberia and southwestern France shared alleles absent from Central Europe, and showed spatial population structure within Iberia common in recognized native taxa. Iberian populations show a demographic signature of ancient population bottlenecks, while those in Central European show a signature of recent population bottlenecks. These patterns are not consistent with historical introduction of white elm to Iberia, and instead strongly support native status, arguing for immediate implementation of conservation measures for white elm populations in Spain and contiguous areas of southern France.

“…One useful tool for distinguishing a refugial area from a suture zone is the relationship between allelic richness (which is equivalent to v T ) and a measure of divergence (Petit et al 2002b;Provan and Bennett 2008). Refugium populations are characterised by high allelic richness with h T > v T , whereas high allelic richness accompanied by h T ≤ v T indicates an admixture of different genetic lineages (Petit et al 2002b;Provan and Bennett 2008). Moreover, the allelic diversity within a refugial area is confined to one lineage, whereas the allelic diversity observed in a suture zone results in variants within multiple lineages (Petit et al 2002b).…”

“…For the present study, we chose relatively abundant populations of this species, which are expected to retain a large proportion of the former genetic variation. It has similarly been suggested that the relatively low differentiation of Quercus robur in Central Europe might also be the result of intense historical utilisation (Petit et al 2002b). The third explanation is a more rapid replacement of generations in B. humilis, as this shrub rarely survives to the age of 20 years.…”

Betula humilis is an endangered plant species in Central Europe. In order to protect this species, it is necessary to document its genetic diversity in this region and to identify areas for conservation prioritisation. As molecular investigations conducted throughout the ranges of many plant species have shown that the highest genetic diversities are found within former glacial refugia and/or within the contact zones of different phylogenetic lineages, we investigated the reasons underlying the considerable genetic variation of B. humilis in northeastern Poland revealed previously using nuclear microsatellites. We analysed 365 individuals of B. humilis from 19 populations and 67 specimens of Betula pendula and Betula pubescens sampled in four geographical regions in Poland and Belarus for polymorphism in chloroplast PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism markers. Genetic data strongly suggested that B. humilis could have survived the Last Glacial Maximum at higher latitudes, but the hypothesis of a refugium in southeastern Poland was rejected. Chloroplast DNA analysis confirmed high genetic diversity in some populations in northeastern Poland. This phenomenon can likely be explained in terms of a suture zone, as the high haplotypic richness was followed by h T ≤v T . Similar patterns of haplotype distributions in the birches under study and high introgression ratio (IG00.71) among B. humilis and congeneric trees suggested that postglacial recolonisation of the shrub birch was complicated by haplotype sharing with other birches.

Phylogeographic study of Chinese seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides subsp. sinensis Rousi) reveals two distinct haplotype groups and multiple microrefugia on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

Historical climate change can shape the genetic pattern of a species. Studies on this phenomenon provide great advantage in predicting the response of species to current and future global climate change. Chinese seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides subsp. sinensis) is one of the most important cultivated plants in Northwest China. However, the subspecies history and the potential genetic resources within the subspecies range remain unclear. In this study, we utilized two intergenic chloroplast regions to characterize the spatial genetic distribution of the species. We found 19 haplotypes in total, 12 of which were unique to the Chinese seabuckthorn. The populations observed on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) consisted of most of the haplotypes, while in the northeast of the range of the subspecies, an area not on the QTP, only four haplotypes were detected. Our study also revealed two distinct haplotype groups of the subspecies with a sharp transition region located in the south of the Zoige Basin. 89.96% of the genetic variation located between the regions. Mismatch analysis indicated old expansions of these two haplotype groups, approximately around the early stage of Pleistocene. Additional morphological proofs from existing studies and habitat differentiation supported a long independent colonization history among the two regions. Potential adaptation probably occurred but needs more genome and morphology data in future. Chinese seabuckthorn have an older population expansion compared with subspecies in Europe. The lack of large land ice sheets and the heterogeneous landscape of the QTP could have provided extensive microrefugia for Chinese seabuckthorn during the glaciation period. Multiple localities sustaining high-frequency private haplotypes support this hypothesis. Our study gives clear insight into the distribution of genetic resources and the evolutionary history of Chinese seabuckthorn.
