Research shows that the colonization of some freshwater fish species on remote islands may not be fully explained by either tectonic events or transoceanic dispersal. Investigating the colonization of a nonannual killifish on the Seychelle islands revealed genetic support for transoceanic dispersal and tolerance to seawater. Despite long-lasting isolation, the nonannual golden panchax exhibited stronger genome-wide purifying selection.
Whether freshwater fish colonize remote islands following tectonic or transoceanic dispersal remains an evolutionary puzzle. Integrating dating of known tectonic events with phylogenomics and current species distribution, we find that killifish species distribution is not explained by species dispersal by tectonic drift only. Investigating the colonization of a nonannual killifish (golden panchax, Pachypanchax playfairii) on the Seychelle islands, we found genetic support for transoceanic dispersal and experimentally discovered an adaptation to complete tolerance to seawater. At the macroevolutionary scale, despite their long-lasting isolation, nonannual golden panchax show stronger genome-wide purifying selection than annual killifishes from continental Africa. However, progressive decline in effective population size over a more recent timescale has probably led to the segregation of slightly deleterious mutations across golden panchax populations, which represents a potential threat for species preservation in the long term.
