Historical | Recent (type of evidence) | ||||
Teleosts | |||||
Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)a | 7 | 666 | YES (dN/dS) | YES (E–W) NO (H–W, correlation) | Comparison of land-locked and river populations |
Brown trout (Salmo trutta)b | 9 | 180 | YES (dN/dS) | NO (Tajima D, E–W, population differentiation (FST), correlation) | Small isolated populations |
Brown trout (Salmo trutta)c | 7 | 492 | Not estimated | YES (FST outlier significant (diversifying selection) for MHC linked microsatellite locus in large populations, in small populations effect masked by immigration) | Comparison of large populations and those that have declined in size |
California coastal steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss)d | 24 | 444 | YES (dN/dS) | NO (correlation, population differentiation FST), YES (FST outlier (diversifying selection) in one of three regions) | Populations that have experienced recent declines in size |
Gila trout (Oncorhynchus gilae gilae)e | 10 | 142 | YES (dN/dS) | NO (FST outlier) | Populations that have declined in size |
Sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka)f | 31 | 5400 | YES (dN/dS) | YES (E–W (16% of pops), Stalkin’s P (9% of pops), population differentiation FST) | Thirty one river populations compared with one lake population |
Amphibians | |||||
Alpine newt (Mesotriton alpestris)g | 7 | 149 | YES (dN/dS) | NO (correlation, FST outlier) | Groups of allopatric populations of postglacial origin |
Crested newt (Triturus cristatus)h | 7 | 100 | YES (dN/dS) | NO (correlation) | Comparison between refugial populations and populations from the postglacial expansion area |
Birds | |||||
Great snipe (Gallinago media)i | 10 | 175 | YES (dN/dS) | YES (Tajima’s D, high structure between regions, not explained by neutral marker diversity, IBD) | Scandinavian mountain vs. East European population |
Lesser kestrel (Falco naumanni)j | 7 | 121 | YES (dN/dS) | YES (Tajima’s D) NO (correlation, IBD pattern) | Free ranging but fragmented wild populations |
South island robin (Petroica australis australis)k | 3 | 26 | YES (dN/dS) | NO (correlation) | Small, bottlenecked population |
Mammals | |||||
Spotted suslik (Spermophilus suslicus)l | 10 | 195 | YES (dN/dS) | NO (correlation, FST outlier) | Small, bottlenecked populations |
Water vole (Arvicola terrestris)m | 7 | 591 | YES (dN/dS) | NO (global FST outlier) YES (bottleneck, higher diversity in MHC at the phase of low population density, stronger selection at DQA1 locus, at high density phase effect masked by migration) | Demographically fluctuating populations, comparison of low and high density phase |
Water vole (Arvicola terrestris)n | 3 | 1303 | YES (dN/dS) | YES (H–W: excess of heterozygotes in MHC but not in microsatellites; GST among metapopulations higher for MHC than for microsatellites), NO (between-year correlation of MHC and microsatellite differentiation at the metapopulation level) | Metapopulations sampled over multiple years |
