Abstract

Allopatry is generally considered to be one of the main contributors to the remarkable Neotropical biodiversity. However, the role of chromosomal rearrangements including neo-sex chromosomes for genetic diversity is still poorly investigated and understood. Here, we assess the genetic divergence in five Pyrrhulina species using population genomics and combined the results with previously obtained cytogenetic data, highlighting that molecular genetic diversity is consistent with their chromosomal features. The results of a principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) indicated a clear difference among all species while showing a closer relationship of the ones located in the same geographical region. This was also observed in genetic structure analyses that only grouped P. australis and P. marilynae, which were also recovered as sister species in a species tree analysis. We observed a contradictory result for the relationships among the three species from the Amazon basin, as the phylogenetic tree suggested P. obermulleri and P. semifasciata as sister species, while the PCoA showed a high genetic difference between P. semifasciata and all other species. These results suggest a potential role of sex-related chromosomal rearrangements as reproductive barriers between these species.

Introduction

The Neotropical region harbors most of the known fish diversity, with more than 5,200 valid species, however, there is additional evidence that many of them are yet to be described (). Several reasons are suggested to be related to this huge diversity, and among them, the evolution of reproductive barriers reducing gene flow plays a key role in creating reproductive incompatibilities between species (). The evolution of strong reproductive barriers is essential for coexistence of species, especially for sympatric ones (those whose geographical distribution overlaps), even if the isolation in sympatry has preceded the overlap of species that currently coexist in the same region, in a secondary contact (; ).

Among animals, most cases of post-zygotic isolation are caused by genetic incompatibilities, among which chromosomal rearrangements including specific sex chromosome-systems are of fundamental importance (; ; ; ). Such chromosomal rearrangements can prevent introgression and reduce gene flow by suppressing recombination (; Yannic et al., 2009; ; ; ; ). However, the contribution of these processes for biodiversity in Neotropical fish species is still poorly understood.

The Lebiasinidae family is distributed throughout Central and South America, with 75 species divided into two subfamilies: Lebiasininae and Pyrrhulininae (Weitzman and Weitzman, 2003; ; ). The subfamily Pyrrhulininae is the most diverse, including the genera Derhamia, Nannostomus, Copella, Copeina, and Pyrrhulina (). Recent cytogenetic and molecular data have added significant contributions to understanding evolutionary relationships of these genera (, , ; ; ; ). Particularly, concerning Pyrrhulina, its diploid number (2n) ranges from 32 to 42 chromosomes, with Pyrrhulina aff. australis, P. australis (), Pyrrhulina aff. marilynae and Pyrrhulina sp. present 2n = 40 chromosomes, whereas P. brevis (), P. obermulleri (), and Pyrrhulina cf. laeta have 2n = 42 chromosomes, both in males and females. Differently from the others, P. semifasciata () has divergent 2n among sexes (2n = ♀42 and ♂41) due to its exclusive multiple ♀X1X1X2X2/♂X1X2Y sex chromosome system (; ). In addition, P. marilynae () also differs from its congeneric species having 2n = 32 chromosomes, due to a series of chromosomal fusions ().

The development and improvement of large-scale genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) procedures allowed high-resolution analysis using Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) for genetic diversity studies in non-model organisms (; Yang et al., 2013; ; ; ; ; ). Combining such genomic and cytogenetic data for pairs of species/populations in which there are variations related to geographic distribution, analysis of chromosomal rearrangements, and sex chromosome systems provide a critical tool to understanding the role of these events to generate biodiversity. The present study applies cytogenetic and genomic approaches in five Pyrrhulina species with distinct geographic distributions. Here, we aimed to assess the genetic diversity in five Pyrrhulina species by combining population genomic with previously obtained cytogenetic data. Our results highlighted that genomic diversity is consistent with the chromosomal features and provided hypothesis on the potential role of chromosomal rearrangements, especially those involving the sex chromosomes, in fostering genetic differentiation.

DArTseq Sequencing Procedure and Data Filtering

Liver tissue from all individuals was used to perform DArTseq sequencing procedures at Diversity Arrays Technology Pty Ltd. This sequencing method uses a combination of restriction enzymes (SbfI and PstI) that enrich hypomethylated regions (). Sequencing of the obtained libraries was carried out on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform.

The raw data were processed in two different ways to generate the following datasets (I) a matrix of SNPs using Ipyrad v. 0.9.84 () and (II) a phased sequence file obtained with pyRAD v3.0.66 (). In both, the sequencing adapters were trimmed, and all sequences shorter than 35 base pairs or presenting more than five low-quality bases (Q < 20) were not considered. In dataset I, a single SNP per locus was selected, to reduce the inclusion of linked SNPs, and the SNPs were coded as 0 for reference state homozygotes, 1 for heterozygotes, and 2 for alternative state homozygotes.

The raw data is available in the database of the National Center for Biotechnology Information, whose project access code is PRJNA804560 (access link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Traces/study/?acc=PRJNA804560&o=acc_s %3Aa). Additionally, datasets one and two are available at https://github.com/PHnarciso/Dataset-1-and-2---Manuscript-Pyrrhulina.

Assessment of Markers Under Selection

A BayeScan analysis was carried to search for potential markers under selection in both datasets (). We performed a total of 5,000 MCMC (Markov Chain Monte Carlo) runs and thinning of 10, with a prior odds value of 100. Values of False Discovery Rate (FDR) were used to classify outliers, and only loci with values lower than 0.01 were considered outliers and removed from subsequent analysis.

Genetic Diversity

Using dataset II, an analysis was performed in the DnaSP software v. 6.12.03 (), to obtain the haplotype diversity (Hd), Tajimaʼs D (D), and two measures of nucleotide diversity per site, π and Watterson’s theta (θw). Differentiation was also estimated from the nucleotide divergence between samples using the average number of nucleotide substitutions per site between pairs of samples from different species (Dxy) and the net divergence, corrected for variation within the samples analyzed (Da).

Genetic Structure and Analysis of Molecular Variance (AMOVA)

A principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) in the R package dartR () was used to investigate the genetic structure among species. The genetic structure was also investigated with fastSTRUCTURE (), using the “Lizards-are-awesome” pipeline (). We used the chooseK.py command to select the number of clusters that maximizes likelihood and is more informative for the structure from our dataset. The results from fastStructure were visualized with Clumpak (). Additionally, an analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) was also performed using dataset I, with samples grouped as follows: 1) by species, 2) by the clusters from the best K value on fastStructure, 3) by the clustering pattern generated on the PCoA, and 4) by the presence or absence of the multiple sex chromosome system.

Species Tree

We used the package SNAPP in BEAST 2.6.4 () to infer the species tree topology. We included only polymorphic sites, used the default prior for coalescence rate, and calculated backwards and forward substitution rates (parameters u and v) based on the empirical data. We applied a chain length of two million generations, sampling every 5000 iterations. Convergence was evaluated in Tracer 1.7.1 (). We obtained the MCC tree based with common ancestor heights in TreeAnnotator, with the first 25% generated trees discarded as burn-in. We exported the consensus tree in FigTree 1.4.4.

Analysis of Introgression

We assessed admixture between lineages by calculating Patterson’s D-statistics (ABBA-BABA test) in Ipyrad v. 0.9.84 () using pooled SNP frequencies of individuals from each species (Durand et al., 2011). We performed 4-taxon tests according to the recovered SNAPP topology (Figure 1), using either P. marilynae or P. australis as the outgroup, P. brevis as P3 and P. semifasciata and P. obermulleri as either P1 or P2. Significance was measured with 1,000 bootstrap replicates by resampling loci with replacement (following ). Results were considered significant according to their Z-scores (significant values >3), which quantifies the number of bootstrap standard deviations in which the D-statistic values deviates from its expected value of zero.

Results

Sequencing, Filtering, and Detection of Markers Under Selection

Sequencing of DArTSeq resulted in two million reads per sample, on average, a total of 5,149 SNP-markers were obtained after performing all filtering steps in dataset I, and a total of 5,604 loci were obtained in dataset II. According to the BayeScan result, none of the loci were potentially under selection, as all FDR values were higher than 0.65 and 0.97 for dataset I and dataset II respectively. Thus, all markers were maintained in subsequent analyses.

Genetic Diversity and Structure

In general, all species showed low diversity values. Values of π and θw were closely related across all sampled groups, with slightly higher estimates in P. obermulleri and P. semifasciata, while P. marilynae showed the lowest values. (Table 2).

The nucleotide divergence (Dxy values) and net divergence (Da values) estimates between individuals sampled of different species ranged from 0.01770 to 0.00660 as shown in Figure 2. The lowest divergence values estimates were presented for P. australis and P. marilynae, and the highest values were observed for comparisons of P. semifasciata with these species.

FIGURE 2

The PCoA results separate all species and indicate a higher similarity for species in the same regions, as P. brevis and P. obermulleri are more similar to each other, as are P. australis and P. marilynae. In turn, P. semifasciata appeared as the most different species of the group (Figure 3).

FIGURE 3

Results from fastStructure suggested K = 4 as the number of clusters that maximizes both likelihood and is more informative for genetic structure, being the one that best explains the complexity of the data. It is worth mentioning that the clusterization presented in K = 5 is identical to that presented by K = 4, with both results combining P. australis and P. marilynae. AMOVA results suggested that the clustering strategy presenting the highest variation between groups and the lowest variation within groups was achieved when each separate species was considered (83.66% variation between groups), followed by the fastStructure K = 4 result and by the PCoA (Table 3).

Species Tree and Analysis of Introgression

The species tree recovered in SNAPP showed a relationship between species similar to the structure shown in PCoA (Figure 3), showing P. australis and P. marilynae as sister species. A sister species relationship was also recovered for P. semifasciata and P. obermulleri, with P. brevis closer to this last two (Figure 1). Results of the admixture tests using D-statistics were not able to detect significant introgression in P. semifasciata or P. obermulleri, regardless of whether P. marilynae or P. australis were considered as the outgroup (Table 4). This result agrees with the lack of admixture suggested by fastSTRUCTURE (Figure 3).

Discussion

Here the first genomic evaluation of five Pyrrhulina species was performed. Our results highlight that genetic diversity among the analyzed Pyrrhulina species is consistent with their chromosomal features. In addition, evidence was found that the occurrence of chromosomal rearrangements including variation in sex chromosome systems might have contributed to increase differentiation.

Overall, the genetic diversity indexes (π; θW) (Table 2) were low, being the highest ones observed in P. obermulleri and P. semifasciata and the lowest in P. marilynae followed by P. brevis. Low diversity values are somewhat expected due to the nature of our sequencing technique (see methods) and similar results were found in populations from Hoplias malabaricus under the same sequencing technique (Souza et al. submitted). According to Dxy and Da values (Figure 2), P. semifasciata and P. marilynae are very distinct from each other, presenting the highest observed values (0.01770 and 0.0158). They are also distinct morphologically () and present non-overlapping distributions in the Amazon basin. Pyrrhulina semifasciata occur in the Purus, Juruá, Negro, Branco rivers, Amazonas main channel (), and Madeira River while P. marilynae is restricted to the upper portions of Tapajós and Xingu () (Figure 1). Similarly, values of Dxy and Da between P. semifasciata and P. australis are also very high (0.0171 and 0.0144), indicating their genetic distinctiveness. Furthermore, their distribution does not overlap (Figure 1) and they are also quite distinct morphologically and probably distantly related species, according to a morphology-based phylogenetic analysis (). This results are also in agreement with the species tree, as P. marilynae and P. australis were recovered as sister species in a distinct clade (Figure 1). However, it is important to emphasize that a more comprehensive species-level sampling is still necessary before claiming sister species relationships, especially in taxa that are apparently divergent such as P. brevis and P. obermulleri.

Pyrrhulina semifasciata, the only species in the family up to now analyzed with heteromorphic sex chromosomes, presents high genetic differentiation values when compared to all other species. This could suggest that the presence of such multiple sex system promoted genetic differentiation in the species. The association of sex chromosomes and a high genetic differentiation was also evidenced in previous studies for some populations of other species such as the wolf fishes Hoplias malabaricus (Souza et al., submitted) and Erythrinus erythrinus (). In addition, other studies suggest that an event of sex chromosome turnover in plants could have promoted the reduction of gene flow between groups of Rumex hastatulus, which could have contributed to further accumulation of genetic differences (). Furthermore, the emergence of a neo-sex chromosome system is suggested as a factor that may have driven the speciation process in sticklebacks (). Therefore, the emergence of sex neo-chromosomes could result in a rapid evolutionary mechanism fixing genetic variation in different species (). Indeed, our results suggest that P. semifasciata, which was collected in syntopy with P. brevis and presents a different chromosomal structure with a multiple sex chromosome system, is also genetically highly divergent from that latter species.

Therefore, we present three main hypotheses for the observed scenario (I) P. brevis and P. semifasciata evolved in allopatry. Later, their distribution overlapped and the current genetic differences are the result of this previous allopatric period and not related to the sex chromosomes emergence (II) these species evolved in allopatry and the sex chromosomes present in P. semifasciata may have acted as an additional barrier to introgression, fostering their genetic differentiation after they became sympatric, and (III) the emergence of a multiple sex chromosome system of the X1X2Y-type in P. semifasciata have acted as key factor to reduction of the gene flow and contributed to the speciation process and the significant genetic differentiation observed for this species.

The PCoA result also suggested that P. semifasciata stayed isolated from all other species, while P. brevis clustered with P. obermulleri (Figure 3). Many works highlight the important role of neo-sex chromosomes in preventing introgression, which is agreement with the lack of introgression between sympatric species detected here (Table 4), due to pairing problems associated with meiotic segregation of heterozygous rearrangements (e.g., ; ; ). Similarly, sex chromosomes might promote speciation, as some genes that play a role in reproductive isolation between populations can be accumulated in neo-sex chromosomes (; ; ). Haldane’s rule postulates that hybrids of the heterogametic sex from closely related species are often sterile, thus hybrid incompatibility also may act as a reproductive isolating barrier and contribute to prevent introgression (; ). In both scenarios, the neo-sex chromosomes system could have contributed to genetic differentiation or speciation. Hence, it may be possible that the chromosomal rearrangements present in P. semifasciata may have had an impact on the diversity of Pyrrhulina species.

In contrast, some species showed low differentiation, indicating that they are more similar genetically. The Dxy and Da values between P. marilynae and P. australis were the lowest ones (0.008 and 0.0066 respectively) and these two species were recovered as sister species in our phylogenetic analysis (Figure 1). Also, both species share with P. vittata a series of unique morphological characters which indicate that they form a monophyletic clade (). Pyrrhulina brevis and P. obermulleri presented low Dxy and Da values as well (0.0121 and 0.0090) in addition to be close to each other in the PCoA analysis (Figure 3) and be recovered in the same clade in the species tree, although not as sister species (Figure 1). All Tajima’s D values were negative except for P. marilynae. Negative results may suggest a recent event of population expansion, or that purifying selection is acting mainly in P. semifasciata and P. brevis. The small positive value presented by P. marilynae could indicate a bottleneck event, but this seems unlikely due to the low value.

The results of PCoA indicated a clear clustering of species sampled in the same geographical region, except for P. semifasciata, which was collected in sympatry with P. brevis and did not cluster with any other species (Figure 3). In fastStructure K = 4 result, only P. australis and P. marilynae were grouped. In both fastStructure and PCoA results, P. australis and P. marilynae were closely related, and such a connection is also presented in the speciestree (Figure 1) and supported by the species tree presented by .

In addition, AMOVA results suggest that grouping individuals by species maximize the variation between groups, although the groups generated by fastStructure and PCoA have also shown informative values (Table 3). Therefore, AMOVA results show that the clustering of individuals by species best explains the complexity of the data and therefore suggests that the species are well separated. The relationships between river reorganizations and biodiversity are a complex issue, as previously isolated habitats and populations can be merged, increasing dispersal and local diversity, and reducing speciation and extinction rates. They can also separate previously connected environments, leading to increased genetic isolation and speciation, and extinction rates (; ). Therefore, the complex biogeographic history of the region complicates the understanding of Pyrrhulina genetic diversity considering that the current geographic distribution of species may not be the same as in the past and a comprehensive species-level phylogeny is still necessary to infer past geographic distributions.

It is widely known that chromosomal rearrangements might have a role in speciation (; ; ). Chromosomal rearrangements have the potential to limit introgression, thus facilitating the origin and maintenance of reproductive isolation through recombination suppression (; ). Here, P. australis and P. marilynae were recovered as sister species in our phylogenetic analysis. This suggests a low genetic difference despite their different chromosomal formulae. Conversely, the species P. semifasciata, the only with a multiple sex chromosome system, showed high differentiation to all other species. This furnishes additional evidence for the role of chromosomal rearrangements, especially those associated with sex chromosomes, as potential important reproductive barriers between these species.

Conclusion

Our results highlighted the distribution of the genetic diversity among the analyzed Pyrrhulina species and contributed to our understanding of their evolutionary history. However, the scarcity of phylogenetic data involving all Pyrrhulina species does not permit us to do a cause-and-effect correlation. Besides, the occurrence of chromosomal rearrangements leading to the presence of the X1X2Y sex chromosome system in P. semifasciata could have led to an intensification of the genetic differentiation of this species by preventing introgression with the other species. Future work with a better population and species-level sampling is still needed to bring new insights to 1) species delimitation, 2) infer demographic trends, 2) infer past distributional ranges, and 4) study the tempo and mode of speciation, including chromosomal rearrangements as a mechanism for isolation.
