Novel insights into symbiont population structure: Globe‐trotting avian feather mites contradict the specialist–generalist variation hypothesis

Alix E. Matthews,

Andrew D. Sweet
et al.

Abstract: Researchers often examine symbiont host specificity as a species‐level pattern, but it can also be key to understanding processes occurring at the population level, which are not as well understood. The specialist–generalist variation hypothesis (SGVH) attempts to explain how host specificity influences population‐level processes, stating that single‐host symbionts (specialists) exhibit stronger population genetic structure than multi‐host symbionts (generalists) because of fewer opportunities for dispersal an… Show more

“…Many other analytical frameworks exist for inferring different population genetic statistics from Pool-Seq data [51][52][53] with variable benchmarking results [54,55], which alludes to the difficulty of untangling Pool-Seq data [18,23,56]. Our strategy described above is highly conservative, utilizes well-maintained public programs, and allows us to more directly compare population structure [57]. We visually assessed the impact of the different linkage thresholds through principal components analyses (PCA) using PLINK.…”
