Intraspecies Genomic Divergence of a Fig Wasp Species Is Due to Geographical Barrier and Adaptation

Understanding how intraspecies divergence results in speciation has great importance for our knowledge of evolutionary biology. Here we applied population genomics approaches to a fig wasp species (Valisia javana complex sp 1) to reveal its intraspecies differentiation and the underlying evolutionar...

Here we applied population genomics approaches to a fig wasp species (Valisia javana complex sp 1) to reveal its intraspecies differentiation and the underlying evolutionary dynamics. With re-sequencing data, we prove the Hainan Island population (DA) of sp1 genetically differ from the continental ones, then reveal the differed divergence pattern. DA has reduced SNP diversity but a higher proportion of population-specific structural variations (SVs), implying a restricted gene exchange. Based on SNPs, 32 differentiated islands containing 204 genes were detected, along with 1,532 population-specific SVs of DA overlapping 4,141 genes. The gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis performed on differentiated islands linked to three significant GO terms on a basic metabolism process, with most of the genes failing to enrich.
