Research  Goal:

To  investigate  the  spatial  processes  of  neutral  and  adaptive  genetic  variation  in  wild  Red  

Junglefowl  and  the  interactions  with  the  underlying  environment.

Research  Questions:

① What  are  major  processes  influencing  the  (broad  &  fine-­‐scale)  spatial  neutral  

variation?

② Are  landscape  features  deciding  factors  for  (fine-­‐scale)  genetic  variation?

③ Are  the  functionally  adaptive  genes  more  diverse  than  the  neutral  genes?  Are  there  

higher  diversity  in  wild  Red  Junglefowl  than  in  domestic  chickens?

Research  Question:What  are  major  processes  influencing  the  

(broad  &  fine-­‐scale)  spatial  neutral  variation  of  Red  Junglefowl?

Hypothesis: The  ground-­‐dwelling  Red  Junglefowl  have  

substantial  inter-­‐population  variation  due  to  (broad-­‐scale)  

habitat  fragmentation  and  (fine-­‐scale)  movement.

Geographic  distance,  movement,  and  demography  (e.g.

Conclusions of  spatial  dependence:

• Multi-­‐scale  ordination  (MSO)  methods  can  effectively  detect  spatial  genetic  covariances  

in  variogram  analysis.  

• No  spatial  dependence  of  spatial  genetic  patterns  to  landscape  features.

E.g.  Mantel  tests  have  Type  I  error  in  matrix  permutation  of  two  correlated  data  sets.

• Classification  of  landscape  patterns  is  good  for  model  validation.
