“…During the Pleistocene, the Kentucky basin was connected with the old Ohio River basin, and the Licking and Kinniconick basins were connected to the north‐flowing Teays River palaeodrainage (Teller, ; Teller & Goldthwait, ). These palaeodrainage patterns have been linked to the population structure and divergence of a wide range of aquatic species, including fish, aquatic insects and salamanders (Berendzen et al., ; Kozak, Blaine, & Larson, ; Kuchta, Haughey, Wynn, Jacobs, & Highton, ; Pessino, Chabot, Giordano, & DeWalt, ).…”

Population structure and gene flow of species in lotic environments can be constrained by river network architecture, species life history and heterogeneous local barriers. Identifying the factors that influence population structure and gene flow, especially in species limited to movement within a river network, is vital for understanding the evolutionary and demographic history of a species. We explored population structure and gene flow for a fully aquatic salamander, the common mudpuppy (Necturus maculosus), in Kentucky (USA) using genomic data. We examined population structure using both parametric and nonparametric methods, and we tested for a history of lineage divergence among identified genetic clusters. We quantified the partitioning of genetic variation at different hierarchical levels, and we tested for signatures of isolation by distance. Additionally, we used coalescent‐based model selection to identify a best‐fit model of gene flow between our three sampled basins. We found the greatest support for population structure between the Kentucky River basin and the combined Licking and Kinniconick basins, with further subdivision within both the Kentucky and Licking River basins. However, we found no evidence for a history of lineage divergence among these structured units. The movement of N. maculosus is constrained by the lotic network architecture, which likely drives the evolution of this hierarchical population structure, with increasing differentiation between sites nested in river basins, and even greater differentiation between basins. However, we also found evidence for population structure not explained by river architecture, with an isolated population embedded within the Kentucky River basin. This study demonstrates the heterogeneity in population structure that can evolve in aquatic species occupying lotic systems and illustrates the potential for genomic data to disentangle these complex patterns.

“…Unfortunately, it has been lost from the wave-swept shores of the Bass Islands in the Western Basin of Lake Erie where it used to be abundant prior to 1950 (Clark 1934, DeWalt et al 2012, Grubbs et al 2013b). The species displays an hourglass shaped distribution from the Interior Highlands eastward across a narrow section of suitable habitat in southern Illinois to the western foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, then northward to the glaciated Great Lakes area (Pessino et al 2014). …”

“…For example, the preglacial (and pre-Ohio River) Teays River drainage, originated in western North Carolina and provided access to Ohio, Indiana and Illinois (Hansen 1995, King 1983, Ver Steeg 1946) Whereas, this extensive drainage is buried under 500 feet or more of glacial till from central Ohio westward, at least a few of the stoneflies which colonized Ohio using this route may have found refuge in the Western Allegheny and Appalachian Plateaus of eastern and southeastern Ohio during the glacial epochs. Others recolonized from refugia in the Cumberland Plateau, Southern Appalachian Mountains, and possibly the Ozark Mountains (Pessino et al 2014, Ross et al 1967). The series of glacial events flattened most of northwestern and western Ohio, down to the Cincinnati area, creating lake, till, and drift plains, bogs, and fens.…”

BackgroundWe provide volume II of a distributional atlas of aquatic insects for the eastern USA state of Ohio. This treatment of stoneflies (Plecoptera) is companion to Armitage et al. (2011) on caddisflies (Trichoptera). We build on a recent analysis of Ohio stonefly diversity patterns based on large drainages (DeWalt et al. 2012), but add 3717 new records to the data set. We base most analyses on the United States Geological Survey Hierarchical Unit Code eight (HUC8) drainage scale. In addition to distributional maps for each species, we provide analyses of species richness versus HUC8 drainage area and the number of unique locations in a HUC8 drainage, species richness versus Ohio counties, analyze adult presence phenology throughout the year, and demonstrate stream size range affiliation for each species.New informationThis work is based on a total of 7797 specimen records gathered from 21 regional museums, agency data, personal collections, and from the literature Table 1. To our knowledge this is the largest stonefly data set available for a similarly sized geopolitical area anywhere in the world. These data are made available as a Darwin Core Archive supported by the Pensoft Integrated Publishing Toolkit (DeWalt et al. 2016b). All known published papers reporting stoneflies from Ohio are detailed in Suppl. material 1. We recovered 102 species from Ohio, including all nine Nearctic families Table 2. Two species were removed from the DeWalt et al. (2012) list and two new state records added. Perlidae (32 spp.) was most speciose, compared to the low diversity Pteronarcyidae (2 spp.) and Peltoperlidae (1 sp.). The richest HUC8 drainages occurred in northeastern, south-central, and southern regions of the state where drainages were heavily forested, had the highest slopes, and were contained within or adjacent to the unglaciated Allegheny and Appalachian Plateaus. Species poor drainages occurred mainly in the northwestern region where Wisconsinan aged lake plains climaxed to an expansive wooded wetland, the Black Swamp. The unglaciated Lower Scioto drainage (72 spp.) in south-central Ohio supported the greatest species richness. There was no relationship between species richness and HUC8 drainage size, but the number of unique locations in a drainage strongly related to species richness. All Ohio counties were represented in the data set with Hocking County (59 spp.) of the Lower Scioto drainage being the richest and most heavily sampled. Adult presence phenology was influenced by phylogenetic relationships such that the superfamily Nemouroidea (Capniidae, Leuctridae, Nemouridae, and Taeniopterygidae) generally emerged in winter and spring while the superfamilies Pteronarcyoidea (Pteronarcyidae, Peltoperlidae) and Perloidea (Chloroperlidae, Perlidae, Perlodidae) emerged later, some species continuing emergence through summer months. Species often occupied specific stream size ranges, while others were generalists. Two species once histrorically abundant in the western Lake Erie Bass Islands no longer reside th...

“…Long-distance dispersal is extremely difficult to study by using marked individuals (e.g., McCauley 2010), so genetic markers have been widely used to understand evolutionary history and infer species dispersal (Pauls et al 2006, Hughes et al 2009. Furthermore, genetic markers can be used to identify intraspecific diversity relative to geography and to infer the history of dispersal for a species (Theissinger et al 2011, Pessino et al 2014.…”

Phylogeographic comparison of five large-bodied aquatic insect species across the western USA

Glacial legacy, barriers to migration, and dispersal abilities are important determinants of intraspecific genetic diversity. Genetic comparisons can elucidate the distribution of genetic variants among populations, but for many groups of organisms the concordance of population genetic structure and historical refugia among co-occurring species remains unclear. We compared phylogeographic histories of 4 stoneflies (Calineuria californica, Hesperoperla pacifica, Pteronarcys californica, and Pteronarcys princeps) and 1 caddisfly (Dicosmoecus gilvipes) across their species ranges. Study species had large body and wing sizes that suggest strong flying ability and dispersal potential. Nevertheless, riverine habitat restrictions and mating behaviors can inhibit dispersal. We used mitochondrial and nuclear gene sequences to examine population genetic structure relative to potential past and present barriers to dispersal in the western USA. North-south population genetic structure was present for each species but was more pronounced for 2 stoneflies (C. californica and P. californica) and the caddisfly. For these 3 species, phylogenies indicated concordant clades north and south of San Francisco Bay, a large, saltwater estuary in California. Basal phylogenetic nodes and regional centers of haplotype diversity suggested common historical refugia in northern California or southern Oregon, similar to that found in previous studies of salamanders. For 1 stonefly (C. californica) and the caddisfly, distinct populations in the Sierra Nevada Mountains suggested potential barriers to gene flow. The presence of population genetic structure suggests vulnerability to loss of intraspecific diversity under climate change scenarios, particularly for populations at high elevations.
