Refining and defining riverscape genetics: How rivers influence population genetic structure

Abstract: Traditional analysis in population genetics evaluates differences among groups of individuals and, in some cases, considers the effects of distance or potential barriers to gene flow. Genetic variation of organisms in complex landscapes, seascapes, or riverine systems, however, may be shaped by many forces. Recent research has linked habitat heterogeneity and landscape or seascape configuration to genetic structure by integrating methods from landscape ecology, population genetics, and spatial statistics in ap… Show more

“…Landscape features can shape both neutral genetic structure and the distribution of adaptive variation within a species (Davis, Epps, Flitcroft, & Banks, ; Grummer et al, ; Orsini, Andrew, & Eizaguirre, ). While landscape genetic studies in rivers increasingly consider adaptive variation (Brauer, Unmack, Smith, Bernatchez, & Beheregaray, ; Micheletti, Matala, Matala, & Narum, ; Vincent, Dionne, Kent, Lien, & Bernatchez, ), few studies have directly compared patterns of neutral genetic variation with patterns of variation at loci associated with adaptive phenotypic variation (but see Hand et al, ; Keller, Taverna, & Seehausen, ; O’Malley, Jacobson, Kurth, Dill, & Banks, ).…”

Moreover, hypotheses that predict diversity patterns across riverine landscapes have been mostly developed with data on freshwater insects and fish (reviewed by Davis et al, ; Hughes et al, ). These hypotheses include the River Continuum Concept that predicts lower species diversity in headwaters compared to main stem populations (Vannote et al, ), the Mighty Headwaters Hypothesis that postulates headwater or tributary populations will harbour greater genetic uniqueness than main stem river segments (Finn, Bonada, Múrria, & Hughes, ), and the Stream Hierarchy Model that states populations will demonstrate a pattern of isolation by distance along a stream network path (Meffe & Vrijenhoek, ).…”

“…Many factors influence genetic diversity across a landscape including life history, physical dispersal barriers and anthropogenic activity. Compared to terrestrial or marine organisms, animals occupying fluvial ecosystems have gene-flow constraints associated with inherent hierarchical properties of drainage networks, unidirectional water flow and relatively limited lateral connectivity (Davis, Epps, Flitcroft, & Banks, 2018;Hughes, Schmidt, & Finn, 2009;Malmqvist, 2002;Vannote, Minshall, Cummins, Sedell, & Cushing, 1980). However, these fluvial characteristics have unequal influence on different organismal groups.…”

“…Growing evidence suggests that most adaptive genomic responses to environmental variation are polygenic in nature (Bernatchez, ; Pritchard & Di Rienzo, ). For species inhabiting complex spatial environments, landscape structure is also expected to greatly impact patterns of demographic connectivity and genetic diversity (Davis, Epps, Flitcroft, & Banks, ; Thomaz, Christie, & Knowles, ). Following the emergence of the field of landscape genetics (Manel, Schwartz, Luikart, & Taberlet, ), significant research effort has been focused on understanding how environmental heterogeneity affects patterns of gene flow and spatial population structure (Manel & Holderegger, ).…”
