“…sanbena shared haplotypes from different lineages, revealing a possible introgression or incomplete sorting of ancestral polymorphisms [10]. This is an often reported phenomenon in stoneflies [40], [69], [70], which remains as unresolved species. Resolving the problems between the process of evolution of morphological characters and the genetic variation within species will improve our future understanding of the origin of the species and the local species distribution.…”

The generation of the high species diversity of insects in Japan was profoundly influenced by the formation of the Japanese Archipelago. We explored the species diversification and biogeographical history of the Nemouridae Billberg, 1820 family in the Japanese Archipelago using mitochondrial DNA and nuclear DNA markers. We collected 49 species among four genera: Indonemoura Baumann, 1975; Protonemura Kempny, 1898; Amphinemura, Ris 1902 and Nemoura Latreille, 1796 in Japan, China, South Korea and North America. We estimated their divergence times—based on three molecular clock node calibrations—using Bayesian phylogeography approaches. Our results suggested that Japanese Archipelago formation events resulted in diversification events in the middle of the Cretaceous (<120 Ma), speciation in the Paleogene (<50 Ma) and intra-species diversification segregated into eastern and western Japan of the Fossa Magna region at late Neogene (20 Ma). The Indonemoura samples were genetically separated into two clades—that of Mainland China and that of Japan. The Japanese clade clustered with the Nemouridae species from North America, suggesting the possibility of a colonisation event prior to the formation of the Japanese Archipelago. We believe that our results enhanced the understanding both of the origin of the species and of local species distribution in the Japanese Archipelago.

“…For example, reviews on flowering plants (e.g., Rathcke and Lacey 1985;Lowry et al 2008) have concluded that although prezygotic isolation is on average twice as strong as postzygotic isolation, divergence in flowering time often has a relatively small influence on reproductive isolation compared to other prezygotic barriers such as habitat and pollinator isolation (but see also Silvertown et al 2005). By contrast, temporal isolation seems to play an important role in some insects (e.g., Harrison 1985;Ording et al 2010;Boumans et al 2017), amphibians (e.g., Hillis 1981) and in particular in freespawning marine animals such as corals and tropical green algae (Knowlton et al 1997;Clifton and Clifton 1999). Marine environments are often relatively stable, suggesting that the evolution of temporal isolation through competition (e.g., Butlin 1987;Howard 1993;Pfennig and Pfennig 2009) or reinforcement (Fisher 1930;Dobzhansky 1937) or due to different responses to changes in the local climate (this study) may be less constrained by abiotic temporal effects on resource availability.…”

Divergence in the onset of reproduction can act as an important source of reproductive isolation (i.e., allochronic isolation) between co-occurring young species, but evidence for the evolutionary processes leading to such divergence is often indirect. While advancing spring seasons strongly affect the onset of reproduction in many taxa, it remains largely unexplored whether contemporary spring advancement directly affects allochronic isolation between young species. We examined how increasing spring temperatures affected onset of reproduction and thereby hybridization between pied and collared flycatchers (Ficedula spp.) across habitat types in a young secondary contact zone. We found that both species have advanced their timing of breeding in 14 years. However, selection on pied flycatchers to breed earlier was weaker, resulting in a slower response to advancing springs compared to collared flycatchers and thereby build-up of allochronic isolation between the species. We argue that a preadaptation to a broader niche use (diet) of pied flycatchers explains the slower response to raising spring temperature, but that reduced risk to hybridize may contribute to further divergence in the onset of breeding in the future. Our results show that minor differences in the response to environmental change of co-occurring closely related species can quickly cause allochronic isolation.

“…For instance, headwaters are less open to new arrivals of individuals of species primarily dispersing within the network and are therefore more isolated than locations downstream (Brown & Swan, ; Clarke, Mac Nally, Bond, & Lake, ; Schmera et al., ). As a result, much of river network biodiversity is supported in headwaters through a greater turnover of species among sites, and potentially greater evolutionary divergence (Boumans, Hogner, Brittain, & Johnsen, ; Leys, Keller, Robinson, & Räsänen, ), despite lower mean local richness than in mainstem reaches (but see Clarke, Nally, Bond, & Lake, ); a general pattern that has empirical, experimental, and theoretical support (Carrara, Altermatt, Rodriguez‐Iturbe, & Rinaldo, ; Finn, Bonada, Múrria, & Hughes, ; Muneepeerakul et al., ; Seymour, Fronhofer, & Altermatt, ). Central and peripheral locations within a network can also exhibit divergent dynamics.…”

The role of dispersal in river network metacommunities: Patterns, processes, and pathways

et al. 2017

Abstract1. River networks are hierarchical dendritic habitats embedded within the terrestrial landscape, with varying connectivity between sites depending on their positions along the network. This physical organisation influences the dispersal of organisms, which ultimately affects metacommunity dynamics and biodiversity patterns.2. We provide a conceptual synthesis of the role of river networks in structuring metacommunities in relation to dispersal processes in riverine ecosystems. We explore where the river network best explains observed metacommunity structure compared to other measurements of physical connectivity. We mostly focus on invertebrates, but also consider other taxonomic groups, including microbes, fishes, plants, and amphibians.3. Synthesising studies that compared multiple spatial distance metrics, we found that the importance of the river network itself in explaining metacommunity patterns depended on a variety of factors, including dispersal mode (aquatic versus aerial versus terrestrial) and landscape type (arid versus mesic), as well as location-specific factors, such as network connectivity, land use, topographic heterogeneity, and biotic interactions. The river network appears to be less important for strong aerial dispersers and insects in arid systems than for other groups and biomes, but there is considerable variability. Borrowing from other literature, particularly landscape genetics, we developed a conceptual model that predicts that the explanatory power of the river network peaks in mesic systems for obligate aquatic dispersers. 4.We propose directions of future avenues of research, including the use of manipulative field and laboratory experiments that test metacommunity theory in river networks. While field and laboratory experiments have their own benefits and drawbacks (e.g. reality, control, cost), both are powerful approaches for understanding the mechanisms structuring metacommunities, by teasing apart dispersal and niche-related factors.5. Finally, improving our knowledge of dispersal in river networks will benefit from expanding the breadth of cost-distance modelling to better infer dispersal from observational data; an improved understanding of life-history strategies rather than relying on independent traits; exploring individual-level variation in dispersal through detailed genetic studies; detailed studies on fine-scale environmental
