1
Integrative taxonomy Gustav Paulay Florida Museum of Natural History University of Florida
2
Integrative taxonomy Use of multiple lines of evidence Field - museum - lab Ecology - behavior - morphology - genetics - geography Distinguishing between morphs and species Two or more independent characters showing distinction between species
3
Integrative taxonomy: Actinopyga mauritiana - guamensis
5
Not seeing species where there are cukes vs. primates –different foci for sensory perception unequal rates of evolution –phenotype: morphology, behavior, color pattern... –genotype: sequence divergence –reproductive isolation
6
Supposed distribution of Scutellastra flexuosa and exusta Powell, 1968
7
but what is really going on... NJ K2P COI
8
Seeing species where there aren’t ecophenotypic variation ontogenetic variation geographic variation ecological variation - depth, habitat, etc polymorphism paralogous loci former divergence now united
9
Paralogous loci: mitochondrial genes gone nuclear in Alpheus Williams & Knowlton 2001 Mol Biol Evol
10
Cypraea tigris a species differentiated, then united
11
ESU - reciprocal monophyly DNA - gene flow - BSC reciprocal monophyly implies lack of recent genetic connections need several samples of each form to test reliability of conclusion depends on depth of intra- vs. inter-specific variation in sympatry - separate biological species in allopatry - separate ESUs, species status subjective
12
Basinal/subbasinal speciation common perceived as other dominant mode of speciation by past studies predominant mode in Cypraeidae, Aspidochirotida, Diogenidae, Parribacus Cypraea punctata complex
13
Where are the species limits?
16
Lack of reciprocal monophyly morphs rather than species distinct species, but: –introgression –insufficient time for sorting deep coalescent rapid speciation
17
Introgression in Astralium
18
Introgression in Bohadschia argus? Unusual form only in W Pacific; never seen in Polynesia, etc. Need compare independent markers to test
19
Insufficient time for sorting Gene trees vs. species trees: coalescence theory Avise 1999 Phylogeography
20
Evolution of reproductive isolation Slow –most gastropod –deep divergence among allopatric ESUs –clear reciprocal monophyly –slow to secondary sympatry / biological species Rapid –echinoids, holothuroids –shallow divergence among sympatric species –potential paraphyletic species –rapid to secondary sympatry / biological species
21
1.Two deeply divergent clades: A & B sympatric on 8 island groups 2.30 ESUs so far 3.Pigmentation separates major and minor clades. Astralium rhodostomum complex
22
Geographic signal no signal 94% divergences < 10 Ma retain signal (115 of 122) Persistence of allopatry - Cypraeidae 94% divergences < 10 Ma retain allopatry (115 of 122)
23
Echinometra mathaei complex Rapid secondary sympatry Facilitated by rapid evolution of fertilization proteins? ~1 Ma COI Bindin Landry et al. 2003 Proc Roy Soc COI Bindin
24
Cukes like urchins: Actinopyga obesa complex
25
Stichopus variegatus complex
26
Advantages of sequence data Directly test genetic connections Very large number of characters Independent markers - independent sources “Independent” of morphology - so can trace evolution of form, etc on gene tree without circularity
27
Potential problems with sequence data depth of coalescent vs. interspecific divergence paralogous sequences introgression –selective sweeps –homogenization through drift
