Genetic diversity, population structure and taxonomy of Calopteryx splendens (Odonata: Calopterygidae): An AFLP analysis

Abstract: Abstract. Calopteryx splendens is a widely distributed palaearctic damselfly with a remarkably uniform morphology. Variation in the size and shape of the pigmented spot on the wing is the main diagnostic character used to discriminate subspecies across its huge geographic range. Here, AFLP analysis was used to assess the genetic structure and diversity of nine populations representing 3 putative subspecies and evaluate the pigment spot as a taxonomic marker. Genetic diversity was high, with the number of polym… Show more

“…Similarly, a melanic form of Sympetrum striolatum (Charpentier) found only at the northern range margin where such pigmentation could assist in thermoregulation was previously described as a separate species, Sympetrum nigrescens, before molecular studies demonstrated that the two were synonymous (Pilgrim & Von Dohlen 2007). The only other study of range-wide variation in wing pigmentation in a damselfly (Calopteryx splendens) also demonstrated no consistent patterns with latitude (Sadeghi et al 2009), and this has been attributed to different wing morphs being genetically distinct gene pools with intermediates resulting from hybridisation (Sadeghi et al 2010). This study similarly shows no unequivocal evidence of a latitudinal cline, despite the wide climatic range over which the species occurs.…”

“…The study showed that the average differentiation between populations was with a F ST value of 0.04 weak to moderate (Svensson et al ., 2004). Another AFLP study on C. splendens populations from Eurasia found an overall F ST value of 0.28 (Sadeghi et al ., 2010), which is not surprising given the much larger geographic distances between populations. Together, these two studies suggest moderate to high gene flow between populations (Svensson et al ., 2004; Svensson et al ., 2006), and we are currently investigating this in more detail using novel microsatellite markers for this species.…”

“…3). The small number of molecular studies available (Sadeghi et al, 2010;Froufe et al, 2013;Guan et al, 2013;Ferreira et al, 2015;De Knijf et al, 2016;Schneider et al, 2016) also conform with these patterns, but as none of the studies provide detailed timescale information, it is not certain whether patterns evolved due to isolation induced by glacial periods, or are the result of parapatric speciations induced by, for instance, different climatic conditions at both ends of a species' range.…”
