黑腹果蝇种组的核型与进化研究

观察了国内黑腹果蝇种组34种果蝇的有丝分裂中期核型,其中首次描述了一些新核型。系统地分析了黑腹果蝇种组8个种亚组之间的核型进化关系及种间亲缘关系。结果是:elegans种亚组的核型为A型;eugracilis、melanogaster和ficusphila种亚组的核型为C型;takahashii和suzukii种亚组的核型为C型和D型;montium种亚组的核型为B、C、C’、D、D’、和E型;ananassae种亚组的核型为F、G和H型。从核型分化的角度可以将黑腹果蝇种组分为5个谱系:elegans,eugracilis-melanogaster-ficusphila,takkahashii-suzukii,montium,ananassae。这与2004年Yang等的观点基本一致,正好从核型进化的角度验证了Yang通过DNA序列分析所得到的结果。差别只在于elegans种亚组,作者把它单独列为一支,认为是祖先种亚组。通过选取同一种果蝇的几个不同地域单雌系的核型分析,结果表明:同一种果蝇的核型存在地域差异。这种差异可能是由于不同生境造成,也可能是本身进化程度的差异,或是两种因素相互作用的结果。

不同气候适应类型果蝇体色黑化可塑性的适应性变化(英文)

变温昆虫果蝇Drosophila深受热选择（即遗传效应）或表型诱导效应（即可塑性）的影响。表型可塑性是不同生物进行适应的有效方法, 但是它在不同的果蝇种中较少受到关注。 我们分析了不同发育温度范围和地理分布的果蝇的黑化反应模式。嗜凤梨果蝇D. ananassae 和蒲桃果蝇D. jambulina 对低温敏感, 这些物种可在18~32℃下饲育。相反, D. nepalensis 为耐冷且对热敏感的物种, 可在12~25℃下饲育。世界广为分布的黑腹果蝇D. melanogaster的温度范围宽（13~31℃）, 该物种前3个腹节和后3个腹节的黑化反应模式未见明显差异。D. nepalensis的全部6个腹节（第2~7节）均具有高度的可塑性。不过, 黑腹果蝇D. melanogaster只有后3个腹节具有可塑性。相反, 热带物种嗜凤梨果蝇D. ananassae 的所有腹节均不具有可塑性。世界广为分布的黑腹果蝇, 即使来自冷得多的气候环境, 其体色也不加深, 与D. nepalensis中观察到的体色接近。本研究的目的旨在认识引起体色的形态多样性的过程以及果蝇对不同地理区域的适应性。最后, 将体色黑化与物种系统发育谱系的比较表明, 在不同的演化谱系中不断发生遗传多态性或表型可塑性两种不同模式的适应。

Phylogenetic relationships of Drosophila melanogaster species group deduced from spacer regions of histone gene H2A-H2B

Nucleotide sequences of the spacer region of the histone gene H2A-H2B from 36 species of Drosophila melanogaster species group were determined. The phylogenetic trees were reconstructed with maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian methods by using Drosophila pseudoobscura as the out group. Our results show that the melanogaster species group clustered in three main lineages: (1). montium subgroup; (2). ananassae subgroup; and (3). the seven oriental subgroups, among which the montium subgroup diverged first. In the third main lineage, suzukii and takahashii subgroups formed a clade, while eugracilis, melanogaster, elegans, ficusphila, and rhopaloa subgroups formed another clade. The bootstrap values at subgroup levels are high. The phylogenetic relationships of these species subgroups derived from our data are very different from those based on some other DNA data and morphology data.     

The phylogeny of the subgroups within the melanogaster species group: likelihood tests on COI and COII sequences and a Bayesian estimate of phylogeny

The relationships among the majority of the subgroups in the Drosophila melanogaster species group remain unresolved. We present a 2223basepair dataset for mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I and cytochrome oxidase II for 43 species (including new data from 11 species), sampled to include the major subgroups. After a brief review of competing hypotheses for the ananassae, montium, suzukii, and takahashii subgroups, we combine the two genes based on a new use of the SH test and present KH and SH likelihood comparisons (Kishino and Hasegawa, 1989. J. Mol. Evol. 29, 170-179; Shimodaira and Hasegawa, 1999) to test the monophyly and placement of these subgroups within the larger species group. Although we find insignificant differences between the two suggested placements for the ananassae subgroup, the ananassae is sister to the rest of the subgroups in the melanogaster species group in every investigation. For the takahashii subgroup, although we cannot reject monophyly, the species are so closely related to the suzukii subgroup for these data that the two subgroups often form one clade. Finally, we present a Bayesian estimate of the phylogeny for both genes combined, utilizing a recently published method that allows for different models of evolution for different sites.     

Basal relationships in the Drosophila melanogaster species group

The Drosophila melanogaster species group is a popular model for evolutionary studies due to its morphological and ecological diversity and its inclusion of the model species D. melanogaster. However, phylogenetic relationships among major lineages within this species group remain controversial. In this report, the phylogeny of 10 species representing each of the well-supported monophyletic clades in the melanogaster group was studied using the sequences of 14 loci that together comprise 9493 nucleotide positions. Combined Bayesian analysis using gene-specific substitution models produced a 100% credible set of two trees. In the strict consensus of these trees, the ananassae subgroup branches first in the melanogaster species group, followed by the montium subgroup. The remaining lineages form a monophyletic clade in which D. ficusphila and D. elegans branch first, followed by D. biarmipes, D. eugracilis, and the melanogaster subgroup. This strongly supported phylogeny resolves most basal relationships in the melanogaster species group, and provides a framework that can be extended in the future to encompass more species.     

Phylogeny of a paradigm lineage: the Drosophila melanogaster species group (Diptera: Drosophilidae)

Although Drosophila melanogaster is a paradigm eukaryote for biology, relationships of this species and the other 174 species in the melanogaster species group are poorly explored and ambiguous. Gene regions of Cytochrome oxidase II (mt:CoII ), Alcohol dehydrogenase ( Adh ) and hunchback ( hb ) were sequenced and analysed phylogenetically to test prior hypotheses of relationships for the group based on chromosomes, morphology, and 28S rRNA gene sequences. A simultaneous cladistic analysis of the three newly sequenced gene regions produced a single well-resolved phylogeny for 49 exemplar species representing eight subgroups. Monophyly of each of the ananassae , melanogaster , montium , and takahashii subgroups is supported; the suzukii subgroup is polyphyletic. This phylogeny is consistent with variation in significant morphological structures, such as the male sex comb on the fore tarsus. The broad range of morphological variation among these species is interpreted and the applicability to evolution and developmental investigations is discussed. This phylogeny facilitates comparative investigations, such as gene family evolution, transposable element transmission, and evolution of morphological structures. © 2002 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society , 2002, 76 , 21–37.     

A phylogeny of Drosophilidae using the Amyrel gene: questioning the Drosophila melanogaster species group boundaries

In this study, the phylogenetic relationships of 164 species of the family Drosophilidae are discussed, using the Amyrel gene, a member of the α -amylase multigene family. This study focuses on numerous species groups in the subgenera Sophophora and Drosophila of the genus Drosophila but also includes other closely related genera. Nucleotide data were analysed by several methods: maximum parsimony, neighbour joining, maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference. Heterogeneity of base composition (mainly low GC contents in the species groups willistoni and saltans ) has been addressed. In all analyses, the genus Drosophila appeared paraphyletic. The subgenus Sophophora clearly appeared to be a monophyletic group, showing well-resolved clades, with the Neotropical groups arising in a basal position. Here, it is proposed to raise the species subgroups ananassae and montium to the rank of species group, and to restrict the melanogaster species group to the melanogaster subgroup plus the 'Oriental' subgroups, among which the suzukii subgroup is polyphyletic. Some related genera such as Zaprionus , Liodrosophila , Scaptomyza and Hirtodrosophila are clustered with, or inside the subgenus Drosophila , which is therefore paraphyletic and should be reviewed.     

Phylogenetic utility of mitochondrial COI and nuclear Gpdh genes in Drosophila

Phylogenetic utility of the mitochondrial COI (cytochrome oxidase subunit I) and nuclear Gpdh (glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase) genes was studied in the Drosophila melanogaster species group. The rate of substitution was higher in the COI gene than in the Gpdh gene. In addition, multiple substitutions, not only for transitional but also for transversional substitutions, occurred faster in the COI gene. None of the trees obtained using the COI gene supported the well-established monophyly of the ananassae subgroup. In addition, the incongruence length difference test, Templeton test, and partitioned Bremer support revealed that the trees based on the COI data are considerably different from those based on the Gpdh and the combined data set. Thus, the COI gene did not show good phylogenetic performance in the melanogaster group. The present analyses based on the Gpdh gene and the combined data set revealed that the ananassae subgroup branched off first in the melanogaster group followed by the montium subgroup and further by the melanogaster subgroup in contrast to the most recent phylogenetic hypothesis based on Amy multigenes.     

Phylogenetic incongruence in the Drosophila melanogaster species group

Drosophila melanogaster and its close relatives are used extensively in comparative biology. Despite the importance of phylogenetic information for such studies, relationships between some melanogaster species group members are unclear due to conflicting phylogenetic signals at different loci. In this study, we use twelve nuclear loci (eleven coding and one non-coding) to assess the degree of phylogenetic incongruence in this model system. We focus on two nodes: (1) the node joining the Drosophila erecta-Drosophila orena, Drosophila melanogaster-Drosophila simulans, and Drosophila yakuba-Drosophila teissieri lineages, and (2) the node joining the lineages leading to the melanogaster, takahashii, and eugracilis subgroups. We find limited evidence for incongruence at the first node; our data, as well as those of several previous studies, strongly support monophyly of a clade consisting of D. erecta-D. orena and D. yakuba-D. teissieri. By contrast, using likelihood based tests of congruence, we find robust evidence for topological incongruence at the second node. Different loci support different relationships among the melanogaster, takahashii, and eugracilis subgroups, and the observed incongruence is not easily attributable to homoplasy, non-equilibrium base composition, or positive selection on a subset of loci. We argue that lineage sorting in the common ancestor of these three subgroups is the most plausible explanation for our observations. Such lineage sorting may lead to biased estimation of tree topology and evolutionary rates, and may confound inferences of positive selection.     

Phylogenetic relationships and climatic adaptations in the Drosophila takahashii and montium species subgroups

We analyze phylogenetic relationships among temperate, subtropical highland, and subtropical lowland species of the Drosophila takahashii and montium species subgroups based on sequence data of COI and Gpdh genes and discuss the evolution of temperate species in these subgroups with reference to their climatic adaptations. In the takahashii subgroup, D. lutescens (the temperate species) branched off first in the tree based on the combined data set, but D. prostipennis (the subtropical highland species) branched off first in the trees based on single genes. Thus, phylogenetic relationships in this subgroup are still ambiguous. In the montium subgroup, the cool-temperate species are phylogenetically close to the warm-temperate species, and these cool- and warm-temperate species form a cluster with the subtropical highland species. This suggests that perhaps the cool-temperate species derived from the warm-temperate species and the warm-temperate species derived from the subtropical highland species. In comparison with the subtropical lowland species, the subtropical highland species may be better able to colonize temperate areas since, as in the temperate species, they have an ability to develop their ovaries at moderately low temperature. However, the subtropical highland species, as well as the subtropical lowland species, were much less cold tolerant than the temperate species. Therefore, considerable genetic reformation would be required for both the subtropical highland and the subtropical lowland species to adapt to temperate climates.
