Signatures of Microevolutionary Processes in Phylogenetic Patterns

Abstract: Phylogenetic trees are representations of evolutionary relationships among species and contain signatures of the processes responsible for the speciation events they display. Inferring processes from tree properties, however, is challenging. To address this problem we analysed a spatially-explicit model of speciation where genome size and mating range can be controlled. We simulated parapatric and sympatric (narrow and wide mating range, respectively) radiations and constructed their phylogenetic trees, comput… Show more

“…Our three main results are 1) the branch lengths distribution is independent of the geographic structure (α‐values change marginally according to the number of demes), 2) the trees become more balanced as the number of demes increases (the normalized Sackin index decreases with higher number of demes), displaying one large clade per deme and 3) in the long term the differences between the differing geographic configurations vanish and the balance of trees reach the value expected by the Yule model (or the Equal Rate Markov process). In opposition to the expectations based on augment of geographic complexity, points 1) and 2) show that increasing the number of demes (this work) is different from the complexity of the sympatry–parapatry dualism (as discussed in Costa et al ).…”

“…Here we use the IBM of speciation proposed in Costa et al (), which in turn is a modified version of the model by de Aguiar et al (). We included this brief explanation about the model to make the present study easier to understand on its own.…”
