Abstract

The Great Plains contains many contact zones between eastern and western North American bird species. In these contact zones, closely related lineages or species vary widely in both the geographical and the genomic extent of their hybridization. Two phenotypically similar sister species of flycatchers – the Eastern Wood-Pewee Contopus virens and the Western Wood-Pewee Contopus sordidulus – have sparse geographical overlap in the Great Plains, including a few isolated planted forest stands and along forested riparian corridors of the Niobrara and Platte rivers in central Nebraska, USA. Our previous genetic work found low levels of genetic differentiation between these two flycatcher species, along with several putatively admixed individuals in this zone of sympatry in Nebraska. Here, we used whole-genome sequencing to confirm the presence of admixed individuals and quantify nonrandom gene flow, both in direction between taxa and location in the genome. We confirm the presence of both early-generation hybrids and highly backcrossed individuals in this contact zone. We found moderate levels of genetic differentiation between the two species, with the highest differentiation on the Z chromosome. In addition, all individuals in sympatry contained at least some minor parental genomic ancestry, suggestive of bidirectional introgression. There was evidence of introgression in sympatric individuals across the entire genome, except for approximately half the Z chromosome, suggesting that there is some selection and resistance to admixture in this genomic region.

北美同域木鼠(Contopus sordidulus和Contopus virens)种群的杂交和全基因组渐渗
大平原上有许多北美东部和西部鸟类的接触区。在这些接触带中,亲缘关系密切的谱系或物种在杂交的地理和基因组程度上差异很大。在美国内布拉斯加州中部,东部木- pewee Contopus virens和西部木- pewee Contopus sordidulus这两个表型相似的姐妹种在大平原上有稀疏的地理重叠,包括一些孤立的人工林和沿着Niobrara河和Platte河的森林河岸走廊。我们之前的遗传工作发现,这两种捕蝇蝇之间的遗传分化水平很低,在内布拉斯加州的这个同栖区也发现了几个假定的杂交个体。在这里,我们使用全基因组测序来确认混合个体的存在,并量化非随机基因流,无论是在分类群之间的方向还是在基因组中的位置。我们确认在这个接触区存在早代杂交和高度回交的个体。我们发现两个物种之间存在中等程度的遗传分化,其中Z染色体分化程度最高。此外,所有同群个体都至少包含一些次要的亲本基因组祖先,这表明存在双向基因渗入。有证据表明,在同域个体中,除了大约一半的Z染色体外,整个基因组都存在渗入现象,这表明在该基因组区域存在一定的选择和对混合的抗性。
