“…On the basis of rapid global warming projected in the future (Diffenbaugh & Field, 2013), with stronger effects toward higher latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere (IPCC, 2001;Parmesan, 2007;Shukla et al, 2019), there is a high risk that long-distance migrants, especially in their northernmost breeding range, at some point will be unable to fully adjust breeding time in response to climate change. The reduced breeding success in Swedish pied flycatchers at southern and mid-latitudes during warm springs reported in our study could thus be expected to also occur in more northern breeding birds with continued climate change and indicates a fate that could be true for several long-distance migratory species (Radchuk et al, 2019;Visser, 2019).…”

“…Neuromodulation is important for insect feeding, courtship, aggression, and postmating behaviors [62], and the number of synapses is a major determinant of behavior [63]. Evolutionary pressures induced by temperature play an important role in shaping phenotypic variation between and within species [64,65]. Previous studies have demonstrated that the abundance of many metabolites in P. rapae and warming-induced key biochemical pathways have changed significantly in warming environments [66].…”

The cabbage white butterfly (Pieris rapae), a major agricultural pest, has become one of the most abundant and destructive butterflies in the world. It is widely distributed in a large variety of climates and terrains of China due to its strong adaptability. To gain insight into the population genetic characteristics of P. rapae in China, we resequenced the genome of 51 individuals from 19 areas throughout China. Using population genomics approaches, a dense variant map of P. rapae was observed, indicating a high level of polymorphism that could result in adaptation to a changing environment. The feature of the genetic structure suggested considerable genetic admixture in different geographical groups. Additionally, our analyses suggest that physical barriers may have played a more important role than geographic distance in driving genetic differentiation. Population history showed the effective population size of P. rapae was greatly affected by global temperature changes, with mild periods (i.e., temperatures warmer than those during glaciation but not excessively hot) leading to an increase in population size. Furthermore, by comparing populations from south and north China, we have identified selected genes related to sensing temperature, growth, neuromodulation and immune response, which may reveal the genetic basis of adaptation to different environments. Our study is the first to illustrate the genetic signatures of P. rapae in China at the population genomic level, providing fundamental knowledge of the genetic diversity and adaptation of P. rapae.

“…Genome diversity is formed by a balance of mutation, drift, and gene flow contributing to the distribution of diversity across the loci along the chromosomes of individuals in a population. The resulting patterns of variation provide a backdrop for natural selection, enabling adaptation [ 4 , 5 ], and it is generally thought that preserving genetic diversity is required for adaptability: a species that has lost all its reserves of genetic diversity is doomed to extinction [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ]. In this context, adaptability is generally understood to depend on the existing genetic variation within each species.…”

Genome assemblies are in the process of becoming an increasingly important tool for understanding genetic diversity in threatened species. Unfortunately, due to limited budgets typical for the area of conservation biology, genome assemblies of threatened species, when available, tend to be highly fragmented, represented by tens of thousands of scaffolds not assigned to chromosomal locations. The recent advent of high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) enables more contiguous assemblies containing scaffolds spanning the length of entire chromosomes for little additional cost. These inexpensive contiguous assemblies can be generated using Hi-C scaffolding of existing short-read draft assemblies, where N50 of the draft contigs is larger than 0.1% of the estimated genome size and can greatly improve analyses and facilitate visualization of genome-wide features including distribution of genetic diversity in markers along chromosomes or chromosome-length scaffolds. We compared distribution of genetic diversity along chromosomes of eight mammalian species, including six listed as threatened by IUCN, where both draft genome assemblies and newer chromosome-level assemblies were available. The chromosome-level assemblies showed marked improvement in localization and visualization of genetic diversity, especially where the distribution of low heterozygosity across the genomes of threatened species was not uniform.
