The evolution and diversification of oak leaf butterflies
Evolution and population dynamics of butterflies of the genus A.
Using SNPs to construct a phylogenetic tree (105 butterfly samples from 21 genera of Nymphalidae)
Species of the genus Dryleaf form a monophyletic group
The genus Erythropus forms a polyphyletic group with the other pseudophylloid species we sampled
Conclusion: Leaf camouflage imitation in Nymphalidae has multiple origins
PCA and population structure analysis
It is now recognized that the species of the genus Nymphalata have a clear genetic structure
population genetic analysis
The Fst value shows that as the levels of populations, subspecies, and species increase, the Fst value shows an increasing trend.
Historical population size: K. knyvettii (Medog) has a small effective size
K. limborgii amplirufa (Malaysia) and K. paralekta (Java) have less nucleotide diversity
There is little gene flow between K. incognita (Medog) and K. inachus chinensis (Leshan)
K. incognita-->K. paralekta K. inachus--> K. i. formosana
Evaluate climate suitability
The Eastern Himalayas have always been a climatically suitable area for the genus Butterfly (since LIG)
The land bridge formed during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) promoted secondary contact and gene flow between species/subspecies of the genus
Conclusion: The butterflies of the genus Dryleaf may have diverged in the eastern Himalayas and subsequently dispersed to present-day island areas
Genetic basis of leaf wing polymorphism
Identifying the ventral wing morphology of K. i. chinensis
Ten discrete leaf wing forms
GWAS analysis reveals loci controlling inheritance of leaf mimicry (78 K. i. chinensis samples)
The main peak of GWAS is on chromosome 26, and cortex is located in the top region in various phenotype comparisons.
The cortex is important for the morphology of lepidopteran wings, and variants of this gene have experienced natural selection many times.
Analysis of the structural genetic mechanism of cortex genes
Different phenotypes in the cortex region have different linkage disequilibrium patterns
Genome assembly of 5 cortex haplotypes
Haplotypes V and R have obvious inversions. Among them, the inversion in V only includes cortex, proximal promoter, and exon region; the inversion in R includes cortex and multiple flanking genes.
Phylogenetic analysis reveals that chromosomal rearrangement events in the cortex region occur independently
The SS genotype has a topologically related domain containing the cortex gene, but this structure is not observed in P, S, and R haplotype species.
Calculate the proportion of transposable elements to analyze the reason for the low recombination rate of cortex gene
Compared to the original haplotype P, the derived haplotype in 4 has more LINEs and LTRs
TEs may help reduce recombination between cortex haplotypes
Functional verification of cortex
Loss of cortex function: The scale pigments on the dorsal and ventral wings fade around the lateral vein area, the pattern elements simulating the midrib of the leaf are blurred, and the color deepens
The function of cortex in regulating butterfly scale cell development is conserved
Expression patterns of cortex genes
Compared with individuals with P phenotype, individuals with V phenotype have increased expression of the cortex gene, mainly expressed in the wing.
Evolution of leaf-wing polymorphism
Genetic manifestation of leaf wing polymorphism
Intron lengths are more variable in cortex than in neighboring genes
The HKA test revealed that among the four haplotypes M, P, S and V, their nucleotide polymorphisms were significantly overrepresented compared to other neighboring genes, which means that the cortex gene has experienced balancing selection.
Haplotypes M and S may have originated from the original, recessive haplotype P, and independent chromosomal inversion events resulted in the generation of haplotypes V and R, thus inferring trans-specific polymorphisms. Lasts longer than other mimetic polymorphisms
Analyze types of balancing options
P, V, and S haplotypes have a large proportion, while R and M haplotypes have a small proportion.
Negative frequency-dependent selection and homozygous disadvantage play important roles in maintaining cortex haplotype polymorphism
