Transcript of ID C5-Sy23-i031-R Addressing,clinalvariaon...
Significant differen.a.on was found between popula.ons from the three loca.ons, even a;er 6 genera.ons in a common environment (pairwise Fst, P<0.05). In contrast, no
differences were observed between popula.ons of the same origin across genera.ons (pairwise Fst,, P >0.05). Nevertheless, the J and U chromosomes significantly changed the
frequency of their inversions between genera.ons 2 and 6 in Montpellier popula.ons (MANOVA tests, P<0.05). In par.cular, J1, JST and U1+2 showed consistent changes in two out of
three replicates. Also, the O3+4 arrangement presented a consistent increase in two of the Adraga replicates (see arrows in figure above; Post hoc DunneQ test, P <0.05).

La.tudinal clines are well-‐known phenomena, although it remains unclear how and why they are maintained. Chromosomal inversions (arrangements) in
Drosophila are one of the most emblema.c cases of such clinal varia.on and strong evidence supports an adap.ve cause for the evolu.on of these
polymorphisms. Local adapta.on to heterogeneous environments has been advanced as a possible explana.on. Furthermore, recent work shows that these
arrangements are responding to global warming at a worldwide scale (Balanyà et al. 2006). Nevertheless, the underlying adap.ve processes are s.ll largely
unknown. The study of popula.ons ini.ally differen.ated throughout a cline, when adap.ng to a novel common environment may enlighten this issue. Will
they converge? Here we present the first snapshot of a longer term study addressing temporal paQerns of varia.on in inversion frequencies of Drosophila
subobscura popula.ons during laboratory adapta.on.
Inversions in time and space
A Principal Component Analysis was also applied to the
frequencies of all inversions a;er transforma.on (Balanyà
et al., 2006). The first axis clearly separates popula.ons
according to their loca.on of origin, with Adraga popula.ons more differen.ated from the others. The
second axis is associated with the number of genera.ons
in the laboratory, with Adraga again sugges.ng a higher temporal varia.on.
Exploring Inversions
Drosophila subobscura individuals were collected in Adraga (Portugal), Montpellier (France) and Groningen (Netherlands) along a la.tudinal cline. Popula.ons were scored for inversion polymorphism at genera.ons 2 and 6 a;er laboratory introduc.on. Popula.ons were maintained at 18oC with controlled densi.es, and were three-‐fold replicated at genera.on 4.
To score the inversion polymorphisms, 60 or more males of each popula.on were crossed with females of the cherry curled strain that is homokaryo.pic for the ‘standard’ arrangement in all chromosomes except the O which is O3+4.
When analyzing the weight of different arrangements in the popula.on
differen.a.on we observe that the standard inversions are clearly
associated with the northern popula.ons of Groningen, while warmer-‐
adapted arrangements such as A2, J1 and O3+4+7 help to explain the
higher differen.a.on of the southern popula.ons of Adraga from the
other 2 founda.ons. U1+2 and rare arrangements of the O chromosome
appear more closely related with the Montpellier founda.on.

WILL THIS LEAD TO CONVERGENT EVOLUTION? ONLY MORE GENERATIONS WILL TELL...
• There are clear ini.al differences in inversion polymorphism which have a non-‐linear associa.on with la.tude.
è Is this due to historical effects of geographic barriers?
• Modest temporal changes occur in inversion frequencies a;er 6 genera.ons of laboratory evolu.on. è Contras.ng paQerns between founda.ons -‐ changes in the O chromosome for Adraga and J and U for Montpellier
