“…In Sweden as well as throughout most of its range, the hazel grouse distribution is tied to the occurrence of continuous old-growth coniferous forest. Previous genetic studies have used a phylogeographic approach to detect broad patterns of genetic structure within the entire range of the species (Baba et al, 2002). There are, however, hitherto no studies of genetic structure at the regional level, that is at intermediate geographic scales.…”

Inference of hazel grouse population structure using multilocus data: a landscape genetic approach

In conservation and management of species it is important to make inferences about gene flow, dispersal and population structure. In this study, we used 613 georeferenced tissue samples from hazel grouse (Bonasa bonasia) where each individual was genotyped at 12 microsatellite loci to make inference on population genetic structure, gene flow and dispersal in northern Sweden. Observed levels of genetic diversity suggest that Swedish hazel grouse do not suffer loss of genetic diversity compared with other grouse species. We found significant F IS (deviation from Hardy-Weinberg expectations) over the entire sample using jack-knifed estimators over loci, which is most likely explained by a Wahlund effect. With the use of spatial autocorrelation methods, we detected significant isolation by distance among individuals. Neighbourhood size was estimated in the order of 62-158 individuals corresponding to a dispersal distance of 950-1500 m. Using a spatial statistical model for landscape genetics to infer the number of populations and the spatial location of genetic discontinuities between these populations we found indications that Swedish hazel grouse are divided into a northern and a southern population. We could not find a sharp border between these two populations and none of the observed borders appeared to coincide with any potential geographical barriers.These results imply that gene flow appears somewhat unrestricted in the boreal taiga forests of northern Sweden and that the two populations of hazel grouse in Sweden may be explained by the post-glacial reinvasion history of the Scandinavian Peninsula.

“…To our knowledge, all genetic studies on hazel hens performed until now have focused on the phylogeography of the species [12,13] and population genetics in continuous habitat [14]. Phylogenetic studies based on mitochondrial DNA have identified high genetic variability in a population from Hokkaido (Japan) and a clear separation between this population and birds from continental Asia [12,13]. A population study based on nuclear microsatellite markers has also shown high within-population genetic variability and rather high gene flow among subpopulations in Sweden [14], despite the low dispersal ability of this species.…”

AbstractDespite a severe decrease in the number of hazel hens during the 20th century, nowadays this grouse species is rather common in the forests of Northeastern and Southern Poland. We used mitochondrial control region and microsatellite markers to examine the genetic variability of Polish populations of hazel hens. We used non-invasively collected faeces to estimate genetic variability within populations, genetic differentiation among populations as well as genetic differentiation between two regions inhabited by two different subspecies of hazel hens. Our results confirm the usefulness of DNA from faeces to obtain reliable information on the population genetics of hazel hens. We found a rather high level of genetic variability in the Polish population. Genetic variability was higher in birds from continuous forests in the South of the country than in birds from fragmented habitats in the Northeast. Genetic differentiation was higher among subpopulations from Northeastern Poland. Additionally, both classes of molecular markers suggested the presence of two distinct genetic groups of birds, corresponding to previously described subspecies. We conclude that the genetic variability of the Polish hazel hen population has been influenced by habitat fragmentation and the history of the population during its post-glacial colonization of Poland from different glacial refugia.

“…To our knowledge, eastern European and Asian refugia that have been suggested are: (1) the Carpathians (Jaarola and Searle 2002;Deffontaine et al 2005); (2) the Caspian region and Middle East (Durand et al 1999, LiukkonenAnttila et al 2002Hansson et al 2008); (3) Beringia and eastern Siberia (Holder et al 1999;Abbott et al 2000;Holder et al 2000;Skrede et al 2006); (4) Moscow (Lagercrantz and Ryman 1990); (5) Manchuria and Mongolia (Baba et al 2002); and (6) the southern Ural Mountains, where most of Taiga species might have started a postglacial expansion (Goropashnaya et al 2004;Schmitt 2007).…”

Phylogeography and subspecies status of Black Grouse

The cold periods of the Pleistocene have had a striking impact on the diversification of most organisms in temperate regions. Phylogeographic patterns and postglacial expansion are poorly understood in the Black Grouse (Tetrao tetrix). This species is widely distributed across Eurasia, and has been divided into a number of subspecies on the basis of morphological differences and geographic isolation. To investigate the evolutionary history of the species, 143 samples from different regions were examined for a mtDNA control region fragment. Overall, analyses of mtDNA gave support for the divergence between Tetrao tetrix tetrix, T. t. ussuriensis and T. t. mongolicus. The analyses reveal the effects of colonisation out of glacial refugia on the genetic diversity and genetic structure of Black Grouse. The phylogeographical results are consistent with a demographic population expansion following a bellshaped mismatch distribution, a star-shaped phylogeny and low nucleotide diversity. Patterns of postglacial dispersal imply that Black Grouse from southern Europe have been restricted to this area, and did not contribute to the genetic diversity of northern Europe. Instead, Black Grouse spread out to northern Europe from a refugium in the east and a possible one in western Europe, following the retreat of glacial ice sheets, although both refugia remain unidentified. We suggest that T. t. britannicus and T. t. viridanus correspond to northern T. t. tetrix, and that this lineage has diverged from the other subspecies. This division is tentative due to limited sampling, but it will facilitate the management of different evolutionary significant units of the species.
