Molecular differentiation and morphological variation in lizards of the tribe Iphisini (Squamata, Gymnophthalmidae)
No full textA delimitação de espécies é essencial para a caracterização e conservação da biodiversidade. No entanto, representa um desafio para grupos onde há pouca variação em morfologia, como no caso dos lagartos Iphisini. São conhecidas oito espécies pertencentes a seis gêneros na tribo, com base em análises moleculares e de anatomia hemipeniana foram detectadas quatro espécies candidatas para Iphisa. A tribo filogeneticamente aparentada Gymnophthalmini apresenta maior riqueza de espécies e diversidade morfológica, principalmente em espécies com adaptações para a vida fossorial. No entanto, ainda se conhece pouco sobre os mecanismos históricos e ecológicos que causam distintos padrões de especiação, apesar de historicamente o papel de isolamento geográfico ter sido enfatizado para a biota Neotropical. Em tempos recentes, foram desenvolvidos métodos quantitativos para abordar questões evolutivas como probabilidades de especiação, variações em taxas de diversificação e reconstrução de demografia histórica de populações e migração. Implementei neste estudo uma combinação de métodos quantitativos com uso de dados moleculares, morfológicos e ambientais para testar as hipóteses que: há diversidade não reconhecida em Iphisini; as diferenças em riqueza e disparidade morfológica entre Iphisini e outras tribos de Gymnophthalminae se deve a diferenças em tempo e modo de diversificação, e que a diversificação em Acratosaura ocorreu por isolamento geográfico causado por flutuações paleoclimáticas. Com base em análises moleculares, foram delimitadas quatro espécies candidatas para Iphisini, aumentando em 33% a diversidade conhecida para a tribo. Não houve variação entre as espécies candidatas de Acratosaura em morfometria. A filogenia estimada para Gymnophthalminae apresentou alto suporte para a relação entre Iphisini e Heterodactylini, e demonstra um tempo de diversificação e riqueza neste clado similar a Gymnophthalmini. As tribos apresentaram padrões de diversificação semelhantes, mas taxas distintas. Os padrões de evolução morfológica foram congruentes com a diversificação em Gymnophthalmini, porém distintas em Heterodactylini sensu lato, indicando que disparidade independe de diversificação. As análises filogeográficas indicam que as populações de Acratosaura apresentaram estabilidade demográfica e espacial ao longo do tempo, com evidências de fluxo gênico entre linhagens diferenciadas. Desta forma, os resultados sugerem que Acratosaura diversificou sem influência de variações históricas no clima, e provavelmente sem isolamento reprodutivo completoSpecies delimitation is essential for characterization and conservation of biodiversity. Nevertheless, it represents a challenge for groups in which morphological variation is subtle, such as the microteiid lizards of the tribe Iphisini. Eight species from six genera are currently recognized in the tribe but recently, based on molecular analysis and hemipenial anatomy, four candidate species were inferred for Iphisa. The phylogenetically related tribe Gymnophthalmini presents higher species richness and morphological diversity, specially in forms with adaptations to fossoriality. Nevertheless, the historical and ecological mechanisms involved in the distinct speciation patterns are poorly known, although geographical isolation have been historically emphasized for neotropical biota. In recent times, quantitative methods were developed to address evolutionary questions such as speciation probabilities, variation in diversification rates and reconstruction of historical demography of populations and migration. In this study I used a combination of quantitative methods based on molecular, morphological and environmental data for testing the hypothesis that: there is unrecognized diversity within Iphisini; differences in species richness and disparity among Iphisini and related tribes are congruent with differences in time and mode of diversification; and that diversification in Acratosaura occurred with geographical isolation caused by paleoclimatic fluctuations. Based on the results of molecular analyses, four candidate species were delimited for Iphisini, rising in 33% the tribe diversity. There was no significant variation in morphometry between candidate species of Acratosaura. The phylogeny of Gymnophthalminae presented high support for the relationship between Iphisini and Heterodactylini, and showed diversification timming and species richness comparable between this clade and Gymnophthalmini. The tribes presented similar diversification patterns but distinct rates. The patterns of morphological evolution were congruent with diversification patterns in Gymnophthalmini but distinct in Heterodactylini sensu lato, indicating that disparity is independent from diversification in the group. The phylogeographic analyses indicate that populations of Acratosaura presented demographic and spatial stability through time, with evidences of gene flow among lineages after differentiation. Thus, the results suggest that diversification of Acratosaura was not influenced by variations in historical climate, and probably occurred without complete reproductive isolatio
