    Sequences for loci in Genepop file

    No full text
    This fasta file contains the consensus sequences for all of the loci in the genepop file. The locus name in this file corresponds to locus names in the genepop file, which also gives the position of the SNP

    Individual barcodes of RAD sequences used in Stacks

    No full text
    This text file is a combination of the barcodes file and the "population map" file for the program stacks. Each line consists of (1) the individual barcode, (2) the sample ID, and (3) a numeric designation for the sampling site (putative population) to which the individuals belongs. Copying the first two columns into a separate text file will provide the barcodes.txt file used in stacks to demultiplex raw data. Copying the second two columns into a separate text file will provide the population map file used in the stacks function `populations` to call genotypes

    Role of oceanography in shaping the genetic structure in the North Pacific hake <i>Merluccius productus</i>

    <div><p>Determining the relative influence of biotic and abiotic factors on genetic connectivity among populations remains a major challenge in evolutionary biology and in the management and conservation of species. North Pacific hake (<i>Merluccius productus</i>) inhabits upwelling regions in the California Current ecosystem from the Gulf of California to the Gulf of Alaska. In this study, we examined mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and microsatellite variation to estimate levels of genetic differentiation of <i>M</i>. <i>productus</i> in relation to the role of oceanographic features as potential barriers to gene flow. Samples were obtained from nine sites spanning a large part of the geographic range of the species, from Puget Sound, Washington to Costa Rica. The microsatellite results revealed three genetically discrete populations: one spanning the eastern Pacific coast, and two apparently resident populations circumscribed to the Puget Sound and the northern Gulf of California (F<sub>ST</sub> = 0.032, p = 0.036). Cytochrome b sequence data indicated that isolation between the Puget Sound and northern Gulf of California populations from the coastal Pacific were recent phenomena (18.5 kyr for Puget Sound and 40 kyr for the northern Gulf of California). Oceanographic data obtained from the Gulf of California support the hypothesis that permanent fronts within the region, and strong gradients at the entrance to the Gulf of California act as barriers to gene flow. A seascape genetics approach found significant genetic–environment associations, where the daytime sea surface temperature and chlorophyll concentrations were the best predictive variables for the observed genetic differentiation. Considering the potential causes of genetic isolation among the three populations, e.g. spawning areas in different latitudes associated with upwelling processes, oceanographic barriers, asymmetric migration and specialized diet, oceanographic barriers appear to be a likely mechanism restricting gene flow.</p></div
