Abstract
Premise
Hybridization and polyploidization are common in vascular plants and important drivers of biodiversity by facilitating speciation and ecological diversification. A primary limitation to making broad synthetic discoveries in hybrid and allopolyploid biodiversity research is the absence of a standardized framework to compare data across studies and biological scales.
Methods
Here, I present a new quantitative framework to investigate and interpret patterns in hybrid and allopolyploid biology called the divergence index (DI). The DI framework produces standardized data that are comparable across studies and variables. To show how the DI framework can be used to synthesize data, I analyzed published biochemical, physiological, and ecological trait data of hybrids and allopolyploids. I also apply key ecological and evolutionary concepts in hybrid and polyploid biology to translate nominal outcomes, including transgression, intermediacy, expansion, and contraction, in continuous DI space.
Results
Biochemical, physiological, ecological, and evolutionary data can all be analyzed, visualized, and interpreted in the DI framework. The DI framework is particularly suited to standardize and compare variables with very different scales. When using the DI framework to understand niche divergence, a metric of niche overlap can be used to complement insights to centroid and breadth changes.
Discussion
The DI framework is an accessible framework for hybrid and allopolyploid biology and represents a flexible and intuitive tool that can be used to reconcile outstanding problems in plant biodiversity research.
前提杂交和多倍体化在维管束植物中很常见,通过促进物种分化和生态多样化而成为生物多样性的重要驱动力。在杂交和全多倍体生物多样性研究中进行广泛合成发现的一个主要限制因素是缺乏一个标准化框架来比较不同研究和生物尺度的数据。 方法 在这里,我提出了一种新的定量框架,用于研究和解释杂交种和异源多倍体生物学中的模式,即分歧指数(DI)。分歧指数框架产生的标准化数据在不同研究和变量之间具有可比性。为了展示如何利用 DI 框架综合数据,我分析了已发表的杂交种和异源多倍体的生化、生理和生态性状数据。我还应用了杂交种和多倍体生物学中的关键生态学和进化概念,在连续的 DI 空间中转化名义结果,包括跃迁、中间性、扩展和收缩。 结果 生化、生理、生态和进化数据都可以在 DI 框架内进行分析、可视化和解释。DI 框架尤其适用于标准化和比较不同尺度的变量。在使用 DI 框架了解生态位分异时,可以使用生态位重叠度量来补充对中心点和广度变化的认识。 讨论 DI 框架是杂交种和异源多倍体生物学的一个简单易行的框架,是一个灵活直观的工具,可用于解决植物生物多样性研究中的突出问题。
期刊介绍:
Applications in Plant Sciences (APPS) is a monthly, peer-reviewed, open access journal promoting the rapid dissemination of newly developed, innovative tools and protocols in all areas of the plant sciences, including genetics, structure, function, development, evolution, systematics, and ecology. Given the rapid progress today in technology and its application in the plant sciences, the goal of APPS is to foster communication within the plant science community to advance scientific research. APPS is a publication of the Botanical Society of America, originating in 2009 as the American Journal of Botany''s online-only section, AJB Primer Notes & Protocols in the Plant Sciences.
APPS publishes the following types of articles: (1) Protocol Notes describe new methods and technological advancements; (2) Genomic Resources Articles characterize the development and demonstrate the usefulness of newly developed genomic resources, including transcriptomes; (3) Software Notes detail new software applications; (4) Application Articles illustrate the application of a new protocol, method, or software application within the context of a larger study; (5) Review Articles evaluate available techniques, methods, or protocols; (6) Primer Notes report novel genetic markers with evidence of wide applicability.
