Phylogeographic patterns of Merodon hoverflies in the Eastern Mediterranean region: revealing connections and barriers

Abstract: We investigated the phylogeographic patterns of Merodon species (Diptera, Syrphidae) in the Eastern Mediterranean. Ten species were sampled on five different islands and mainland sites as a minimum. All samples were screened for their mtDNA COI barcode haplotype diversity, and for some samples, we additionally generated genomic fingerprints. The recently established zoogeographic distribution categories classify these species as having (1) Balkan distribution; (2) Anatolian distribution; (3) continental areas … Show more

“…Among hoverflies, the immature stages of the abundant Eumerus spp. group and Merodon avidus species are associated with belowground storage organs of plants (Grkovi c et al 2015, St ahls et al 2016, and perhaps these resources are affected even at moderate fire severities. Furthermore, their lower abundance may also be associated with increased drought following moderate and higher fire severity (Ponisio et al 2016).…”

“…The nuclear 28S rRNA gene is also used as an additional source of information to resolve taxonomic uncertainties (Mengual et al., ), although it is usually applied at the genus level. Inter‐simple sequence repeats (ISSR) have been used to discern closely related insect species (Kehlmaier & Assmann, ) and for assessments of population‐level genetic polymorphism (Ståhls et al., ). In addition to molecular data, geometric morphometry has been successfully used in cryptic species delimitation due to its considerable discriminatory and statistical power in revealing minor but stable morphological variation, often undetectable to the naked eye (Nedeljković et al., , ; Šašić et al., ; Vujić, Ståhls, et al., ).…”

“…PD has mostly been measured based on phylogenetic trees or cladograms (Faith 1992). This notion can be extended to intra-specific variability, in which case individuals or populations of one or more species are studied under the same framework (Ståhls et al 2016). Yet, in lieu of precise phylogenetic information on the member taxa of a community, taxonomic diversity (LD) may be used as a surrogate for PD, being calculated from an ultrametric tree (i.e.…”
