Genetic structure of Podocarpus nubigena (Podocarpaceae) provides evidence of Quaternary and ancient historical events
چکیده انگلیسی

Evolution of ancient lineages inhabiting austral latitudes of the southern Andes has taken place in response to historical processes occurring at distinct spatial and temporal scales. We tested the hypothesis that distribution patterns of genetic polymorphisms within Podocarpus nubigena Lindl. (Podocarpaceae) were shaped by contemporary events acting at local scales such as Quaternary glaciations as well as pre-Quaternary palaeogeographical features of the landscape. We predict that such cold hardy species was able to survive locally in refugia during ice ages. As a result of local long-lasting persistence, its gene pool may also reflect the pre-Quaternary palaeogeography of southern South America. We collected fresh leaves from 30 randomly selected individuals at 14 populations. Leaf tissue was analyzed by isozyme electrophoresis using 12 putative loci most of which (92%) were polymorphic in at least one population. Elevated total genetic diversity was recorded HT = 0.275 which was similarly high throughout populations with an overall significant mean among-population isolation (FST = 18%). Multivariate cluster and Bayesian analyses yielded significant latitudinal divergence at 43°S associated to a palaeobasin that produced a barrier for gene flow. Populations south of 43°S and those growing in lowland areas on Quaternary substrates of the North Patagonian Massif (Q NPM) present the highest genetic diversity suggesting long-lasting persistence. In contrast, northern mountain populations on pre-Quaternary substrates (pre-Q NPM) hold reduced genetic variation due to altitudinal movements in response to climate shifts. We suggest that palaeogeography of southern South America in addition to Neogene glaciations have shaped the genetic makeup of such ancient lineage as Podocarpus.
