Abstract. Vanijajiva O, Pornpongrungrueng P. 2020. Inter-primer binding site (iPBS) markers reveal the population genetic diversity and structure of tropical climbing Cissampelopsis (Asteraceae) in Thailand. Biodiversitas 21: 3919-3928. Cissampelopsis is a small climbing tropical Asian genus of Asteraceae-Senecioneae. In Thailand, the genus is represented by two species, C. corifolia and C. Volubilis, distributed through the mountain evergreen forest. Study on the genetic diversity and structure of populations of both Cissampelopsis species provide better understanding of the biology and pattern of species diversification in the genus. To identify the genetic diversity, we used the inter-primer binding site (iPBS) retrotransposon system, in 96 accessions of Cissampelopsis species collected from different regions in Thailand. A total of 120 iPBS bands were scored as presence⁄ absence characters. Results from UPGMA and PCoA analyses indicated that C. corifolia and C. volubilis are different species. Genetic diversity and genetic differentiation among and within populations of C. volubilis is higher than C. corifolia. Molecular Variance (AMOVA) analysis of both species indicated that the genetic variance value within populations is higher than among populations of each species. Bayesian model-based STRUCTURE analysis detected two gene pools for both Cissampelopsis and showed admixture within individuals. Differences among the two Cissampelopsis species, in total diversities and levels of population differentiation, indicated that the genetic structure of Cissampelopsis populations are congruent with long-lived perennial habit with regional distribution, even for congeneric species, may vary considerably. This study suggests the effectiveness of the iPBS marker system to estimate the population genetic diversity and structure of Cissampelopsis genotypes.

Genetic Diversity And Structure

AbstractTheory predicts that the distribution of genetic diversity in a landscape is strongly dependent on the connectivity of the metapopulation and the dispersal of individuals between patches. However, the influence of explicit spatial configurations such as dendritic landscapes on the genetic diversity and structure of metapopulations is still understudied, and theoretical corroborations of empirical patterns are largely lacking. Here, we used real-world microsatellite data and stochastic simulations of two metapopulations of freshwater amphipods in a 28,000 km2 riverine network to study the influence of spatial connectivity and dispersal strategies on their spatial genetic diversity and structure. We found a significant imprint of the riverine network connectivity on the genetic diversity of both amphipod species. Data from 95 sites showed that allelic richness and observed heterozygosity significantly increased towards more central nodes of the network. In simulation models, dispersal rate was suggested to be the key factor explaining the empirically observed distribution of genetic diversity. Contrary to often-claimed expectations, however, the relevance of directionality of dispersal was only minor. Surprisingly, also the consideration of site-specific carrying capacities, for example by assuming a direct dependency of population size with local river size, substantially decreased the model fit to empirical data. This highlights that directional dispersal and the spatial arrangement of population sizes may have a smaller relevance in shaping population genetic diversity of riverine organisms than previously thought, and that dispersal along the river network is the single-most important determinant of population genetic diversity.
