“…Similarly, Rams et al. () reported finding no sporophytes in deep sampling carried out in the Sierra Nevada from early spring to autumn from 2002 to 2004, and García‐Zamora et al. () found only one fructified specimen identified as C. purpureus in a survey of a zone close to the Sierra Nevada in 1990–1991.…”

Genomic scanning using AFLP to detect loci under selection in the moss Funaria hygrometrica along a climate gradient in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Spain

The common cord moss Funaria hygrometrica has a worldwide distribution and thrives in a wide variety of environments. Here, we studied the genetic diversity in F. hygrometrica along an abiotic gradient in the Mediterranean high mountain of Sierra Nevada (Spain) using a genome scan method. Eighty-four samples from 17 locations from 24 to 2700 m were fingerprinted based on their amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) banding pattern. Using PCA and Bayesian inference we found that the genetic diversity was structured in three or four clusters, respectively. Using a genome scan method we identified 13 outlier loci, which showed a signature of positive selection. Partial Mantel tests were performed between the Euclidean distance matrices of geographic and climatic variables, versus the pair-wise genetic distance of the AFLP dataset and AFLP-positive outliers dataset. AFLP-positive outlier data were significantly correlated with the gradient of the climatic variables, suggesting adaptive variation among populations of F. hygrometrica along the Sierra Nevada Mountains. We highlight the additional analyses necessary to identify the nature of these loci, and their biological role in the adaptation process.

“…The SN genotype is very abundant locally, but seems to decline rapidly in frequency northwards in the Iberian Peninsula, as it has not been found in Spanish Sistema Central or even in sites with similar Mediterranean climatic conditions, like the Sicilian Mount Etna, which is situated at almost the same latitude and has a very similar altitude as Sierra Nevada. We think that the potential distribution of the SN genotype in southern Spain is broader than presently known, as many other recorded samples from neighboring areas have been previously reported as C. purpureus or C. conicus (Martínez Sánchez & al., 1991;García-Zamora & al., 1998;Cano & al., 2010;Rams & al., 2014), but show the morphology of SN and Recombinant group samples, as observed after revision of MUB and GDA / GDAC herbaria samples. Outside southern Spanish mountains, only the Ww genotype and recombinants were found.…”

“…Burley & Pritchard (1990) and many Floras (e.g., Smith, 2004;Frey & al., 2006) described C. conicus as strictly calcicolous. Perhaps for this reason previous authors identified samples collected in Sierra Nevada as xeric forms of C. purpureus and discarded the presence of C. conicus in this area (Höhnel, 1895;Rams & al., 2014;Brugués & Ruiz, 2015). Unfortunately, Burley & Pritchard (1990) did not describe the methodology employed to elucidate the type of substrate on which the 18 representative specimens they studied grew (from Canada, England, Norway, Scotland and the United States).…”

A major problem in taxonomy is to determine if morphological variation in field-collected specimens is caused by genetic differentiation, and therefore corresponds to evolutionary distinct units, or is caused by environmental variation acting on a single interbreeding population. To evaluate the effect of environmental variation on the taxonomy of the moss genus Ceratodon, we compared biometric analyses based on 22 morphological characters on both field-collected plants and cultivated plants to a clustering based on DNA sequence and genome size data published previously. We sampled Ceratodon species from mountainous areas of the Mediterranean region, and other mountain regions and lowlands, mostly from southern Europe. We found that the expression of several gametophytic traits changed between field and laboratory conditions, confirming that environmental variability complicates taxonomic inferences, and suggesting that some characters should be used with caution in distinguishing among species. However, consistent with the genetic and flow cytometry data, we found a clear biometric discontinuity between some plants collected from southern Spain, and those from other parts of the world. Samples considered of hybrid origin, based on genetic data, were morphologically indistinguishable from plants from the southern Spanish mountains. Integrative taxonomy based on genetic, genome size and morphological data unambiguously support the recognition of a new species, Ceratodon amazonum. These data also suggest that the previously recognized C. conicus is a recombinant between C. amazonum and C. purpureus and is considered here to be a nothospecies, for which an epitype is designated because the lectotype is demonstrably ambiguous.
