Abstract

Rhus gall aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae: Eriosomatinae: Fordini) are obligate parasites that only use Rhus species (Anacardiaceae) as their primary host plants, and each aphid species feeds specifically on one or two sister Rhus species. Both aphids and Rhus hosts exhibit the same disjunct distribution pattern between East Asia and eastern North America. We assembled complete mitochondrial genomes and universal single-copy nuclear genes for Rhus gall aphids using a genome skimming method and estimated their phylogeny from each dataset. Results strongly supported the monophyly of the Rhus gall aphids Fordini and two genera, Floraphis and Melaphis. However, the relationships among genera were inconsistent between the different datasets. We also estimated the relationships of Rhus host plants from published chloroplast genomes. The chloroplast phylogeny strongly supported Rhus monophyly and relationships among Rhus species. Dating analyses suggest that the most recent common ancestor of Rhus gall aphids was much older than that of their host plants. However, the divergence times and relationships among some Rhus gall aphid species, particularly those with more recent divergence times, were consistent with the ages and relationships of their corresponding primary host plants. This may suggest that Rhus gall aphids established an initial association with stem-group ancestors of Anacardiaceae and acquired extant Rhus hosts as they evolved or through host switching from another plant group. Divergence time estimates implied that the separation of North America and Eurasia from the Laurasia supercontinent and the subsequent disappearance of the Bering Land Bridge, respectively, have played an important role in the divergence of the eastern North American Melaphis and the East Asian lineage. Our results provide new insights into the coevolution of insects and host plants.

瓢虫(半翅目:蚜虫科)的系统发育揭示了其起源比其主要寄主植物更早
瓢虫(半翅目:瓢虫科:瓢虫科:瓢虫科)是专性寄生物,只以瓢虫科的一种或两种瓢虫为主要寄主植物,每一种蚜虫都以一种或两种瓢虫为食。在东亚和北美东部,蚜虫和瓢虫宿主均表现出相同的不间断分布模式。我们利用基因组略读的方法,组装了瘿蚜的完整线粒体基因组和通用单拷贝核基因,并从每个数据集估计了它们的系统发育。结果有力地支持了刺瘿蚜虫的单系性,以及Floraphis和Melaphis两个属。然而,在不同的数据集之间,属间的关系并不一致。我们还从已发表的叶绿体基因组中估计了Rhus寄主植物的关系。叶绿体系统发育有力地支持了柽柳属植物的单系性和种间关系。年代分析表明,蛇瘿蚜虫最近的共同祖先比它们的寄主植物要古老得多。然而,一些瓢虫种类之间的分化时间和关系,特别是那些分化时间较近的瓢虫种类,与它们对应的主要寄主植物的年龄和关系是一致的。这可能表明蛇瘿蚜虫与蛇心科的茎群祖先建立了最初的联系,并在进化过程中或通过从其他植物类群的寄主切换中获得了现存的蛇瘿蚜虫寄主。分离时间的估计表明,北美和欧亚大陆分别从劳亚超大陆分离出来以及随后白令海陆桥的消失,在北美东部大陆系和东亚系的分离中发挥了重要作用。我们的研究结果为昆虫和寄主植物的共同进化提供了新的见解。
