This study employed genome scan methods to identify selection-driven divergence in Zingiber kawagoii populations inhabiting a narrow latitudinal range. The results show that adaptive divergence is mainly influenced by annual temperature range and is positively correlated with latitude and negatively correlated with population genetic variation.
Ecological and evolutionary processes linking adaptation to environment are related to species' range shifts. In this study, we employed amplified-fragment-length-polymorphism-based genome scan methods to identify candidate loci among Zingiber kawagoii populations inhabiting varying environments distributed at low to middle elevations (143-1488 m) in a narrow latitudinal range (between 21.90 and 25.30 degrees N). Here, we show evidence of selection driving the divergence of Z. kawagoii. Twenty-six F-S(T) outliers were detected, which were significantly correlated with various environmental variables. The allele frequencies of nine F(S)(T )outliers were either positively or negatively correlated with the population mean F-S(T). Using several independent approaches, we found environmental variables act in a combinatorial fashion, best explaining outlier genetic variation. Nonetheless, we found that adaptive divergence was affected mostly by annual temperature range, and it is significantly positively correlated with latitude and significantly negatively correlated with the population mean F-S(T). This study addresses a latitudinal pattern of changes in annual temperature range (which ranged from 13.8 degrees C in the Lanyu population to 18.5 degrees C in the Wulai population) and emphasizes the pattern of latitudinal population divergence closely linked to the allele frequencies of adaptive loci, acting in a narrow latitudinal range. Our results also indicate environmentally dependent local adaptation for both leading- and trailing-edge populations.
