Phylogeography of southern Asian Dolly Varden char Salvelinus malma krascheninnikovi: Genealogical analysis of mitochondrial DNA

Phylogeography of northern Dolly VardenSalvelinus malma malmabased on analysis of mitochondrial DNA

“…In contrast, S. m. krascheninnikovi , which was formed outside of the areas of glaciations, is characterized by high population differentiation, along with fairly weak differences between populations from geographically distant regions (Oleinik et al. , ; Osinov and Mugue ). For this taxon, population genetic processes (restricted gene flow and IBD) were primarily responsible for the geographic distribution of mtDNA diversity (Oleinik et al.…”

“…For this taxon, population genetic processes (restricted gene flow and IBD) were primarily responsible for the geographic distribution of mtDNA diversity (Oleinik et al. ). As the modern range of the southern Asian Dolly Varden does not reach far beyond the ancestral body of water and the main demographic events of this subspecies are associated with the cyclic processes of the geological formation of the Sea of Japan basin and adjacent territories, the genealogical tree of S. malma krascheninnikovi bears signatures of secondary contacts of isolated phylogeographical groups (Oleinik et al.…”

Consequently, the differences in the modern population genetic structure of S. m. malma and S. m. krascheninnikovi are due to the cyclic glaciations in the Pleistocene.…”
