Effects of asymmetric nuclear introgression, introgressive mitochondrial sweep, and purifying selection on phylogenetic reconstruction and divergence estimates in the pacific clade of Locustella Warblers
When isolated but reproductively compatible populations expand geographically and meet,
simulations predict asymmetric introgression of neutral loci from a local to invading taxon.
Genetic introgression may affect phylogenetic reconstruction by obscuring topology and divergence
estimates. We combined phylogenetic analysis of sequences from one mtDNA
and 12 nuDNA loci with analysis of gene flow among 5 species of Pacific Locustella warblers
to test for presence of genetic introgression and its effects on tree topology and divergence
estimates. Our data showed that nuDNA introgression was substantial and
asymmetrical among all members of superspecies groups whereas mtDNA showed no introgression
except a single species pair where the invader's mtDNA was swept by mtDNA
of the local species. This introgressive sweep of mtDNA had the opposite direction of the
nuDNA introgression and resulted in the paraphyly of the local species' mtDNA haplotypes
with respect to those of the invader. he multilocus nuDNA species tree resolved all interand
intraspecific relationships despite substantial introgression. However, the node ages
on the species tree may be underestimated as suggested by the differences in node age estimates
based on non-introgressing mtDNA and introgressing nuDNA. In turn, the introgressive
sweep and strong purifying selection appear to elongate internal branches in the
mtDNA gene tree

<p>Numbers next to branches indicate their posterior probability. The hyphenated numbers next to nodes identify the mode of their ages (middle number) and 95% HPD intervals (lower in front and higher after the mode). The time scale below each tree and node ages are in million years (Ma) before present.</p
