Abstract
- We sequenced the mitochondrial ND2 gene for 290 Bushtits (Psaltriparus minimus) sampled from northern Washington to Guatemala. Phylogenetic analysis sorted specimens into 2 main lineages residing either west (coastal) or east (inland) of the Sierra Nevada and Cascades. These lineages are separated by 3.5% sequence divergence and correspond with the distributions of 2 long-recognized phenotype groupings (brown-capped and plumbeous, respectively). Three additional monophylctic geographically structured lineages were identified. Birds from southmost Baja California (Sierra de la Laguna) segregate from other coastal samples whereas the inland lineage includes additional lineages occurring in southeastern Mexico (Morelos, Puebla, Guerrero, and Oaxaca) plus Guatemala, and southwestern Mexico (Michoacan). Examination of museum specimens revealed that a black-eared phenotype occurs sporadically in the interior lineage in southern U.S. and northern Mexico, increasing in frequency to the south, corresponding roughly with these southern Mexican mtDNA lineages. Degree of sequence divergence between the 2 main lineages suggests a relatively early divergence, and ample time for 2-way introgression to occur. However, only 1 of our sampling localities (Lake Co., Oregon: n = 4) was mixed for coastal (n = 1) and interior (n =3) lineages suggesting the possibility of reproductive isolation between the 2 main lineages.

Secuenciamos el gen mitocondrial ND2 de 290 mitos colectados desde el norte de Washington hasta Guatemala. Los analisis filogeneticos clasificaron a los especimenes en 2 linajes principalcs que residian ya sea en al ocste (costero) o al este (interior) de la Sierra Nevada y Cascades. Estos linajes se separan por una divergencia de secuencias de 3.5% y corresponden a distribuciones de 2 agrupamientos fenotipicos reconocidos desde hace mucho tiempo (respectivamente capucha marron y plomizo). Se reconocieron tres linajes adieionales monofilcticos cstructurados gcograficamcnte. Aves de la pane mas surena de Baja California (Sierra de la Laguna) se segregan de otras muestras costeras mientras que linajes del interior incluyen otros linajes que se encuentran en el sudeste mexicano (Morelos, Puebla, Guerrero y Oaxaca), sumado a Guatemala y al sudoeste mexicano (Michoacan). La examinaeion de especimenes de musco rcvclo que un fenotipo de oreja negra se eneuentra esporadicamente en el linaje interior en el sudeste de Estados Unidos y norte de Mexico, que aumenta su frecuencia haeia el sur y corresponde en general con linajes mtADN del sudeste mexicano. El grado de divergencia de secuencias entrc los 2 linajes principalcs sugiere una divergencia relativamente temprana y un tiempo grande para que ocurriera una introgrcsion de 2 vias. Sin embargo, solo una de las localidades de muestrco (Lake Co., Oregon, n =4) presentaba una mezela de linajes costero (n = 1) e interior (n = 3). sugiriendo la posibilidad de aislamiento reproductive) entre los 2 linajes principalcs. Palabras clave: ADN mitocondrial, arbol genctico, divergencia de linaje, filogeografia, modelos de nicho.<br />The field of phylogeography began with the realization that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) could be rapidly and easily sequenced, and that the sequences could be analyzed phylogenetically in a geographic context, [...]
