1 Introduction

In population genetics and conservation the big questionis genetic drift instead of natural selection Definitely bothprocesses determine evolution but genetic drift operates ran-domly and depends on effective population size while naturalselection proceeds nonrandomly and relies on environmentalvariablesThe evolution towards hereditary adaptations to thecurrent environment is determined by natural selection andhas a direction genetic drift instead is governed solely bychance Consequently drift acts on alleles which generallyhave no phenotypic effect instead selection favours certainalleles that increase fitness reduce the unfavourable allelesfrequencies and ignore neutral alleles [1] Knowing what themain microevolutionary force is is very relevant for rational

genetic management of threatened species especially forspecies with geographical distribution severely fragmented[2]

Approaches to addressing adaptive variation have beenincorporated into the definition of evolutionary significantunits [3 4] New technologies like Next Generation Sequenc-ing (NGS) and fine-scale GIS coupled with advances incomputer hardware and software in the field of genomics[5ndash7] have allowed the development of new methods forcomprehensive evaluation of adaptive diversity [8 9] Thediscovery and genotyping of massive genetic markers arenow enabled by modern genomic tools at very low costThis makes the study of adaptive genetic loci possible on awide range of species which can facilitate the identificationof key biodiversity areas Kirk and Freeland [10] reviewed

some of the applications of neutral versus adaptive markersin molecular ecology discussed some of the advantagesthat can be obtained by supplementing studies of molecularecology with data from nonneutral molecular markers andsummarized new methods that allow generating data fromloci under selection Population genomic analyses requiremultilocus datasets from multiple populations and identifi-cation of nonneutral or adaptive loci by contrasting patternsof population divergence among genetic regions

Studies in nonmodel organisms have shown relativelybroad candidate genomic regions that are under selection butit remains difficult to identify the genes (or the mutations)that are affected by selection Increasing the density ofmarkers in genome scans is paramount to overcome thisproblem and validating signals of selection from particulargenes using multiple methods should also help [4] One ofthemost exciting developments in population genomics is thedevelopment of various reduced-representation protocolscollectively referred to as Genotyping-by-Sequencing (GBS)which allow sequencing of a subset of the genome throughselective amplification of restriction fragments [10]

Nothofagus dombeyi (Mirb) Oerst (Nothofagaceae) isan endemic tree species occurring both in Chile and inArgentina temperate forests with a remarkably broad alti-tudinal and latitudinal distribution across many differentecological gradients in the former [11] The evergreen tree Ndombeyi is a pioneer species and constitutes an importantelement in the dynamics of South American forest Itspostglacial history has been studied with chloroplast DNAand evolutionary forces shaping genetic variation patternshave been analysed with isozymes [12 13] However genome-wide scan methods using thousands of markers to study arepresentative portion of the genome are needed

In this work we assess GBS in the nonmodel woodyspecies N dombeyi to develop high quantity of informativemarkers such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP)Our aim is to determine the contribution of selection andmolecular adaptation to shaping genome-wide variation Weexpect higher genetic population differentiation (for ecolog-ical separated localities) for adaptive SNP than neutral SNPif natural selection is the principal source of differentiationAlternatively if other sources of differentiation (mutationgenetic drift and migration) are relevant they will equallyaffect both types of SNP Knowing the contribution ofselection effect to shaping genome variation patternswill havemany applications for biodiversity conservation especiallyin endangered species because neutral and adaptive geneticdiversity will likely have different impacts on long-termsurvival In fact in most cases only adaptive diversity willallow a population to adapt to changing environmentalconditions

2 Materials and Methods

21 Sampling Design

211 Niche Modelling To consider the remarkably broadaltitudinal and latitudinal distribution of this species across

many different ecological gradients we used the methodproposed by Alarcon and Cavieres [14] to niche modellingof Nothofagus dombeyi in Chile using BIOMOD [15] Eightvariables were selected from the WorldClim global climatedatabase [16] corresponding to the present climate condi-tions with a 30-arc-second grid resolution with the leastcorrelation among them for the studied species range areaFour variables were related to energy constraints (a) BIO2mean diurnal temperature range (b) BIO4 temperatureseasonality (c) BIO5 maximum temperature in the warmestmonth and (d) BIO6 minimum temperature in the coldestmonth Other four variables were related to water availability(e) BIO12 annual precipitation (f) BIO15 precipitationseasonality (g) BIO18 precipitation in the warmest quarterand (h) BIO19 precipitation in the coldest quarter Thenwe projected the current and future distribution (year 2050)considering a conservative future climate projection CSIROB2A 2050 by using the tools of BIOMOD software Furtherwe identified geographical areas with potential habitat losswhich should be identified as high priority in genetic conser-vation programs

212 Ecological Regions or Strata Relatively homogeneousunits in ecological terms (strata) were defined from naturalpopulations of the species associated with the geographi-cal areas projected in its ecological niche modelling TheCalinski-Harabasz criterion which is a pseudo-119865 statistic asin ANOVA was used to assess the best number of strataidentified by 119870-means partitioning [17]

22 DNA Sample and Library Preparation

221 Plant Material and Genomic DNA Isolation Adult treeswith a diameter higher than 50 cm were sampled during thegrowing season of 2013-2014 from twenty-one sites coveringalmost the entire range of the species N dombeyi in ChileOne to four sites were assigned to each stratum according toits superficies and 2 to 9 samples per site were taken (Table 1Supplementary Figure 1 in Supplementary Material availableonline at httpdxdoiorg10115520163654093)

DNA extraction was performed using a Qiagen DNeasyPlant kit (Qiagen Inc USA) Lyophilized leaf tissue (20mg)was ground in a Precellys24 (Precellys USA) homogenizerwith two 1410158401015840 ceramic spheres (MP BIOMEDICALS USA)and AP1 buffer The objective is grinding tissues and lysingcells prior to DNA extraction DNA extraction protocol wasdone following themanufacturer instructions but elutionwasdone with 30 120583L (instead of 100 120583L) to increase the final DNAconcentration in the eluate (gt100 ng120583L) The integrity ofgenomic DNA was evaluated by agarose gel and quantifiedusing a Qubit fluorometer (Invitrogen USA)

222 Library Preparation and High-Throughput SequencingLibrary preparation and high-throughput sequencing wereperformed at University of Wisconsin Biotechnology Cen-ter (DNA Sequencing Facility) The GBS genomic librarypreparation was done following the protocol detailed byElshire et al [18] with the methylation-sensitive restriction

enzyme ApeKI and 96 custom barcodes Illumina high-throughput sequencing was conducted on an Illumina HiSeq2000 (Illumina USA) using 100 bp single-end sequencingruns The samples were sequenced across one Illumina laneBase calling was performed in Casava v182 (Illumina USA)

23 Nonreference SNP Calling

231 De Novo Identification of LociAlleles Sequence resultswere analysed and SNP genotypes were assigned using theUNEAK (Universal Network Enabled Analysis Kit) GBSpipeline [19] which is part of the TASSEL 30 [20] bioin-formatic analysis package This pipeline does not dependon a reference sequence which is the actual case for Ndombeyi SNP discovery is performed directly within pairsof matched sequence tags (unique sequence representing agroup of reads) and filtered through network analysis Thenetwork filter trimmed reads to 64 bp to reduce the effectsof error sequencing and enabled efficient storage of data inbit format SNP were assigned with default settings Brieflytags differing by a single nucleotide were retained as SNPand those with a minor allele frequency 005 were removedto minimize the impact of sequencing errors [19] We used aminimum call rate of 0 and additional filters were applied innext steps

232 Post-SNP Calling Filters and Imputation Given that weare trying to find SNP for population genetic analysis we

applied some filters to remove loci and individuals that con-tain very low levels of information prior to further analysisWe applied two functions of TASSEL 52 that removed allSNP (rows) and then samples (columns) containing 90 ormore ldquo119873rdquo values (indicating that neither allele is designated)These 119873s represent individuals where the allele cannot becalled from the sequence readsThis is because either no readis available at this site (for this individual) or the sequencequality is too low to be called

In order to cope with missing data genotype imputationwas used to fill in the missing data and improve the powerof downstream analyses We used LinkImpute implementedin TASSEL 52 a software package based on a 119896-nearestneighbour genotype imputation method LD-119896NNi [21]Thisimputation method was designed specifically for nonmodelorganisms in which genomic resources are poorly developedand marker order is unreliable or unknown

24 Detection of Selection Footprints To identify adaptiveSNP (putative loci under selection) we used LOSITAN [22]LOSITAN is a selection detection workbench based on theFst-outlier methods We used 50000 simulations 099 forconfidence interval false discovery rate of 005 mutationmodel ldquoInfinite Allelesrdquo and the options ldquoNeutral mean Fstrdquoand ldquoForce mean Fstrdquo which iteratively identify and removeFst outliers when calculating the global distribution of FstOur interest is in patterns of adaptation driven by environ-mental gradients therefore we focused on outlier patterns

indicating divergent selection (Fst significantly higher thanneutral expectations)

LOSITAN analyses were complemented with BayeScan21 [23] for estimating the posterior probability that a givenlocus is affected by selection Briefly prior odds of 100 wereused for identifying the top candidates of the selected loci anda total of 50000 reversible-jumpMarkov Chain Monte Carlochains were run with a thinning interval of 10 following 20pilot runs of 5000 iterations each and a burn-in length of50000 Loci were considered outliers with an FDR of 005

To confirm the adaptive SNP detected by previous meth-ods the spatial analysis method (SAM) implemented inthe program Sam120573ada v051 [24] was used We conductedthe analysis using the 10109 SNP detected for N dombeyiin Chile Sam120573ada uses logistic regressions to model theprobability of presence of an allelic variant in a polymorphicmarker given the environmental conditions of the samplinglocations Eight environmental variables previously describedin Section 211 were used (temperature related rarr BIO2BIO4 BIO5 and BIO6 precipitation related rarr BIO12BIO15 BIO18 and BIO19) Regarding genotypes each ofthe states of a given SNP is considered independently asbinary presenceabsence in each sample Our biallelic SNPwere recoded as three distinct genotypes (AA AB and BB)A maximum likelihood approach is used to fit the modelsusing univariate analyses Each model for a given genotypeis compared to a constant model where the probability ofpresence of the genotype is the same at each location Thestatistical significance threshold was set to 1 before applyingBonferroni correction Significance was assessed with loglikelihood ratio (119866) tests [25] selecting lociallele that testedhigher than the 99th percentile of the 119866 score distribution

25 Estimation of Genome-Wide Genetic Variation and Dif-ferentiation Wemade all estimations in parallel with neutralSNP (10109) and adaptive SNP

251 Basic Statistics of Genetic Variation All the results wereobtained using the adegenet [26 27] and hierFstat [28] Rpackages Basic statistics were estimated including observedheterozygosity (Ho) and genetic diversity (Hs) within pop-ulation Also overall gene diversity (Ht) and corrected Ht(Htp) gene diversity among samples (Dst) and correctedDst (Dstp) were estimated Fst and corrected Fst (Fstp) wereassessed as well as Fis followingNei [29] per overall loci Desta measure of population differentiation as defined by Jost[30] was also calculatedThe degree of genetic differentiationamong populations is expected to be low for neutral SNP buthighly divergent in SNP subject to directional selection

252 Population Structure To describe the genetic biodiver-sity of a species more important than diversity among indi-viduals is the diversity between groups of individuals Firstwe analysed individual data to identify populations or morelarge genetic clusters and then we described these clustersby adegenet R package To get a simplified picture of thegenetic diversity observed among individuals or populationswe used Principal Component Analysis (PCA) Discriminant

Analysis of Principal Components (DAPC) function wasused to describe the relationships between these clustersThemain results of DAPC were DAPC scatterplots

For each pair of strata we computed pairwise Fst valueswith hierFstat R package Principal Coordinates Analysis(PCoA) on Fst values was performed to detect major geneticclusters (119870) at individual level

253 Detecting Locus Contributions In DAPC the variablesactually analysed are principal components of a PCA Load-ings of these variables are generally uninformative since PCsthemselves do not all have straightforward interpretationsHowever we can also compute contributions of the alleleswhich can turn out to be very informative In general thereare many alleles and their contribution is best plotted fora single discriminant function at a time using adegenet Rpackage

3 Results and Discussion

31 Niche Modelling and Strata Definition Modelled areaof N dombeyi presence under present climate conditionsis 88174 km2 and in the future (year 2050) under dispersalconstraints is 72928 km2 Although it is not qualified with astatus of threatened species we estimated a decrease of almost20 of its habitat area in a relatively short time particularlyin the northern populations associated with Mediterranean-influenced climate which is at least worrisome consideringwe used the most conservative future climate scenario Fusset al [31] showed that the actual reality is the worst climatescenario projected The 119870-means analyses applied to fourbest least correlated variables of WorldClim (BIO2 BIO4BIO12 and BIO15) identified seven strata groups of Ndombeyi in Chile at very broad spatial scales (Figure 1)Thesestrata represented relatively homogeneous habitats accordingto the climatic key variables mentioned The strata namedSeptentrional (1) Alto Biobıo (2) Los Lagos Andes (7)and Patagonia (3) form the latitudinal gradient across AndesMountain range including higher altitudes while the strataNahuelbuta (4) Araucanıa y Los Rıos (5) and Los LagosCosta (6) present some oceanic influence at a gradientlocated in Coastal Mountain range and central valley of thecentral distribution of N dombeyi at lower elevation Thestrata were coherently identified as the bioclimatic transitionfrom temperate biome with some Mediterranean influenceespecially in the northern portion of the Septentrional stra-tum and then the typical temperate bioclimatic classificationacross the rest of the distribution of the species [32]

individuals with 10109 binary SNP from seven strata Thisdataset was subjected to the impute step and finally totalnumbers of ldquoNNrdquo genotypes were 19067 (003) missingdata

33 Putative under Selection SNP (Adaptive SNP) Usingthe LOSITAN approach 124 adaptive SNP (12) wereidentified (directionally selected) at the false discovery rate(FDR) threshold of 01 (Table 2 Supplementary Table 1) Wedetected 99 adaptive SNP in BayeScan and there were 48overlap cases between the loci reported by each method(see Supplementary Table 1) The adaptive SNP detectedby both approaches were limited (39) possibly reflecting

discrepancies in their methodologies However all the 124SNP identified by LOSITAN had Fst values ge 030 (estimatedacross the 73 N dombeyi individuals and 10109 loci) whichmay be considered as strongly differentiated

Using Sam120573ada we detected 2406 significant genotypesassociated with a given environmental variable They rep-resent 884 SNP (87 of total SNP assessed) and only3 correspond to heterozygous genotypes From the 124outlier SNP identified by LOSITAN genotypes in 121 SNPwere identified as associated with environmental variablesby Sam120573ada (see Supplementary Table 1) Genetic differen-tiation associated with both temperature and precipitationgradients was detected

Clearly when examining patterns of N dombeyi popula-tion differentiation at neutral versus adaptive SNP we havedetected several distinct differences Primarily stochasticprocesses drive differentiation of neutral SNP whereas bothselective and stochastic processes drive that of adaptive SNPfor example [37ndash39]This result supports the hypothesis thatputative under selection SNPare being affected by adaptationwhich is not affecting the neutral SNP The next step is tocharacterize the phenotypic outcomes of alternative geno-types to confirm if themechanism is genetic drift or selectionsimilar to previous studies in Nothofagus pumilio [40 41]Ideally phenotype-genotype association studies should befollowed by the profiling of gene expression functional testsand selection tests to determine that a gene or genes areinvolved in shaping an adaptive trait [42]

35 Loci Contributions Over 24 of the adaptive SNPdetected by LOSITAN had a high loading (here defined asge002) in one or two of the three PC in a PCA with morethan 10K loci of the Chilean population of N dombeyi(Supplementary Figures 5 6 and 7) thus confirming itscontribution to population structure Adaptive SNP ID 414 42 50 and 91 are five of the most discriminating lociand their allele frequencies over seven strata show a highor even dominant allele frequency in stratum 3 (Figure 4)This is the southernmost stratum (3 Patagonia) and thismayjustify the differences in allele frequencies Irrespective ofthe mechanism underlying these changes (drift or selection)this illustrates that in the natural distribution of N dombeyiin Chile specific nucleotides can undergo drastic changeswithin only a hundred kilometres of distance Our resultsexhibited spatial patterns differentiating one stratum in lociwhich could occur in genomic regions or genes for importantfunctions of N dombeyi across their habitat For examplethe GBS sequence tags of adaptive SNP ID 43 (TP30852)show a high identity with a heat shock protein or adaptiveSNP ID 44 (TP32296) with histone acetyltransferase enzyme(data not shown) The first is fundamental for heat orother environmental stresses and the second can be involvedin drought sensing or another response to environmental

Figure 4 Spatial distributions of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) locigenotypes in N dombeyi in Chile for each strata The graphsshow frequencies of locigenotypes differentiating among strata (SNP 3479 SNP 8429 SNP 30254 SNP 38613 and SNP 65805) and nodifferentiating among strata (SNP 23119)

factors We therefore suggest that these two SNP may beinteresting candidates for future functional studies thatmightfacilitate other studies for example [43] focused on thedevelopment of genomic resources for Nothofagus speciesHowever improvements in study design and analyses ofreplicated studies will be needed before this very promisingapproach can be brought to application for managing geneticresources [44]

4 Conclusions

Development of 10109 genome-wide SNP for N dombeyiusing GBS made evaluation of genomic diversity and fine-scale population structure possible for the first time in thisspecies in Chile Results showed that genome-wide patternsof genetic diversity and differentiation varied widely acrossthe genome As such we identified numerous genomic

regions exhibiting signatures of divergent selection We havealso provided strong evidence of substantial genetic differ-entiation associated with both temperature and precipitationgradients suggesting local adaptation

some of the applications of neutral versus adaptive markersin molecular ecology discussed some of the advantagesthat can be obtained by supplementing studies of molecularecology with data from nonneutral molecular markers andsummarized new methods that allow generating data fromloci under selection Population genomic analyses requiremultilocus datasets from multiple populations and identifi-cation of nonneutral or adaptive loci by contrasting patternsof population divergence among genetic regions

Studies in nonmodel organisms have shown relativelybroad candidate genomic regions that are under selection butit remains difficult to identify the genes (or the mutations)that are affected by selection Increasing the density ofmarkers in genome scans is paramount to overcome thisproblem and validating signals of selection from particulargenes using multiple methods should also help [4] One ofthemost exciting developments in population genomics is thedevelopment of various reduced-representation protocolscollectively referred to as Genotyping-by-Sequencing (GBS)which allow sequencing of a subset of the genome throughselective amplification of restriction fragments [10]

Nothofagus dombeyi (Mirb) Oerst (Nothofagaceae) isan endemic tree species occurring both in Chile and inArgentina temperate forests with a remarkably broad alti-tudinal and latitudinal distribution across many differentecological gradients in the former [11] The evergreen tree Ndombeyi is a pioneer species and constitutes an importantelement in the dynamics of South American forest Itspostglacial history has been studied with chloroplast DNAand evolutionary forces shaping genetic variation patternshave been analysed with isozymes [12 13] However genome-wide scan methods using thousands of markers to study arepresentative portion of the genome are needed

In this work we assess GBS in the nonmodel woodyspecies N dombeyi to develop high quantity of informativemarkers such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP)Our aim is to determine the contribution of selection andmolecular adaptation to shaping genome-wide variation Weexpect higher genetic population differentiation (for ecolog-ical separated localities) for adaptive SNP than neutral SNPif natural selection is the principal source of differentiationAlternatively if other sources of differentiation (mutationgenetic drift and migration) are relevant they will equallyaffect both types of SNP Knowing the contribution ofselection effect to shaping genome variation patternswill havemany applications for biodiversity conservation especiallyin endangered species because neutral and adaptive geneticdiversity will likely have different impacts on long-termsurvival In fact in most cases only adaptive diversity willallow a population to adapt to changing environmentalconditions

2 Materials and Methods

21 Sampling Design

211 Niche Modelling To consider the remarkably broadaltitudinal and latitudinal distribution of this species across

many different ecological gradients we used the methodproposed by Alarcon and Cavieres [14] to niche modellingof Nothofagus dombeyi in Chile using BIOMOD [15] Eightvariables were selected from the WorldClim global climatedatabase [16] corresponding to the present climate condi-tions with a 30-arc-second grid resolution with the leastcorrelation among them for the studied species range areaFour variables were related to energy constraints (a) BIO2mean diurnal temperature range (b) BIO4 temperatureseasonality (c) BIO5 maximum temperature in the warmestmonth and (d) BIO6 minimum temperature in the coldestmonth Other four variables were related to water availability(e) BIO12 annual precipitation (f) BIO15 precipitationseasonality (g) BIO18 precipitation in the warmest quarterand (h) BIO19 precipitation in the coldest quarter Thenwe projected the current and future distribution (year 2050)considering a conservative future climate projection CSIROB2A 2050 by using the tools of BIOMOD software Furtherwe identified geographical areas with potential habitat losswhich should be identified as high priority in genetic conser-vation programs

212 Ecological Regions or Strata Relatively homogeneousunits in ecological terms (strata) were defined from naturalpopulations of the species associated with the geographi-cal areas projected in its ecological niche modelling TheCalinski-Harabasz criterion which is a pseudo-119865 statistic asin ANOVA was used to assess the best number of strataidentified by 119870-means partitioning [17]

22 DNA Sample and Library Preparation

221 Plant Material and Genomic DNA Isolation Adult treeswith a diameter higher than 50 cm were sampled during thegrowing season of 2013-2014 from twenty-one sites coveringalmost the entire range of the species N dombeyi in ChileOne to four sites were assigned to each stratum according toits superficies and 2 to 9 samples per site were taken (Table 1Supplementary Figure 1 in Supplementary Material availableonline at httpdxdoiorg10115520163654093)

DNA extraction was performed using a Qiagen DNeasyPlant kit (Qiagen Inc USA) Lyophilized leaf tissue (20mg)was ground in a Precellys24 (Precellys USA) homogenizerwith two 1410158401015840 ceramic spheres (MP BIOMEDICALS USA)and AP1 buffer The objective is grinding tissues and lysingcells prior to DNA extraction DNA extraction protocol wasdone following themanufacturer instructions but elutionwasdone with 30 120583L (instead of 100 120583L) to increase the final DNAconcentration in the eluate (gt100 ng120583L) The integrity ofgenomic DNA was evaluated by agarose gel and quantifiedusing a Qubit fluorometer (Invitrogen USA)

222 Library Preparation and High-Throughput SequencingLibrary preparation and high-throughput sequencing wereperformed at University of Wisconsin Biotechnology Cen-ter (DNA Sequencing Facility) The GBS genomic librarypreparation was done following the protocol detailed byElshire et al [18] with the methylation-sensitive restriction

enzyme ApeKI and 96 custom barcodes Illumina high-throughput sequencing was conducted on an Illumina HiSeq2000 (Illumina USA) using 100 bp single-end sequencingruns The samples were sequenced across one Illumina laneBase calling was performed in Casava v182 (Illumina USA)

23 Nonreference SNP Calling

231 De Novo Identification of LociAlleles Sequence resultswere analysed and SNP genotypes were assigned using theUNEAK (Universal Network Enabled Analysis Kit) GBSpipeline [19] which is part of the TASSEL 30 [20] bioin-formatic analysis package This pipeline does not dependon a reference sequence which is the actual case for Ndombeyi SNP discovery is performed directly within pairsof matched sequence tags (unique sequence representing agroup of reads) and filtered through network analysis Thenetwork filter trimmed reads to 64 bp to reduce the effectsof error sequencing and enabled efficient storage of data inbit format SNP were assigned with default settings Brieflytags differing by a single nucleotide were retained as SNPand those with a minor allele frequency 005 were removedto minimize the impact of sequencing errors [19] We used aminimum call rate of 0 and additional filters were applied innext steps

232 Post-SNP Calling Filters and Imputation Given that weare trying to find SNP for population genetic analysis we

applied some filters to remove loci and individuals that con-tain very low levels of information prior to further analysisWe applied two functions of TASSEL 52 that removed allSNP (rows) and then samples (columns) containing 90 ormore ldquo119873rdquo values (indicating that neither allele is designated)These 119873s represent individuals where the allele cannot becalled from the sequence readsThis is because either no readis available at this site (for this individual) or the sequencequality is too low to be called

In order to cope with missing data genotype imputationwas used to fill in the missing data and improve the powerof downstream analyses We used LinkImpute implementedin TASSEL 52 a software package based on a 119896-nearestneighbour genotype imputation method LD-119896NNi [21]Thisimputation method was designed specifically for nonmodelorganisms in which genomic resources are poorly developedand marker order is unreliable or unknown

24 Detection of Selection Footprints To identify adaptiveSNP (putative loci under selection) we used LOSITAN [22]LOSITAN is a selection detection workbench based on theFst-outlier methods We used 50000 simulations 099 forconfidence interval false discovery rate of 005 mutationmodel ldquoInfinite Allelesrdquo and the options ldquoNeutral mean Fstrdquoand ldquoForce mean Fstrdquo which iteratively identify and removeFst outliers when calculating the global distribution of FstOur interest is in patterns of adaptation driven by environ-mental gradients therefore we focused on outlier patterns

indicating divergent selection (Fst significantly higher thanneutral expectations)

LOSITAN analyses were complemented with BayeScan21 [23] for estimating the posterior probability that a givenlocus is affected by selection Briefly prior odds of 100 wereused for identifying the top candidates of the selected loci anda total of 50000 reversible-jumpMarkov Chain Monte Carlochains were run with a thinning interval of 10 following 20pilot runs of 5000 iterations each and a burn-in length of50000 Loci were considered outliers with an FDR of 005

To confirm the adaptive SNP detected by previous meth-ods the spatial analysis method (SAM) implemented inthe program Sam120573ada v051 [24] was used We conductedthe analysis using the 10109 SNP detected for N dombeyiin Chile Sam120573ada uses logistic regressions to model theprobability of presence of an allelic variant in a polymorphicmarker given the environmental conditions of the samplinglocations Eight environmental variables previously describedin Section 211 were used (temperature related rarr BIO2BIO4 BIO5 and BIO6 precipitation related rarr BIO12BIO15 BIO18 and BIO19) Regarding genotypes each ofthe states of a given SNP is considered independently asbinary presenceabsence in each sample Our biallelic SNPwere recoded as three distinct genotypes (AA AB and BB)A maximum likelihood approach is used to fit the modelsusing univariate analyses Each model for a given genotypeis compared to a constant model where the probability ofpresence of the genotype is the same at each location Thestatistical significance threshold was set to 1 before applyingBonferroni correction Significance was assessed with loglikelihood ratio (119866) tests [25] selecting lociallele that testedhigher than the 99th percentile of the 119866 score distribution

25 Estimation of Genome-Wide Genetic Variation and Dif-ferentiation Wemade all estimations in parallel with neutralSNP (10109) and adaptive SNP

251 Basic Statistics of Genetic Variation All the results wereobtained using the adegenet [26 27] and hierFstat [28] Rpackages Basic statistics were estimated including observedheterozygosity (Ho) and genetic diversity (Hs) within pop-ulation Also overall gene diversity (Ht) and corrected Ht(Htp) gene diversity among samples (Dst) and correctedDst (Dstp) were estimated Fst and corrected Fst (Fstp) wereassessed as well as Fis followingNei [29] per overall loci Desta measure of population differentiation as defined by Jost[30] was also calculatedThe degree of genetic differentiationamong populations is expected to be low for neutral SNP buthighly divergent in SNP subject to directional selection

252 Population Structure To describe the genetic biodiver-sity of a species more important than diversity among indi-viduals is the diversity between groups of individuals Firstwe analysed individual data to identify populations or morelarge genetic clusters and then we described these clustersby adegenet R package To get a simplified picture of thegenetic diversity observed among individuals or populationswe used Principal Component Analysis (PCA) Discriminant

Analysis of Principal Components (DAPC) function wasused to describe the relationships between these clustersThemain results of DAPC were DAPC scatterplots

For each pair of strata we computed pairwise Fst valueswith hierFstat R package Principal Coordinates Analysis(PCoA) on Fst values was performed to detect major geneticclusters (119870) at individual level

253 Detecting Locus Contributions In DAPC the variablesactually analysed are principal components of a PCA Load-ings of these variables are generally uninformative since PCsthemselves do not all have straightforward interpretationsHowever we can also compute contributions of the alleleswhich can turn out to be very informative In general thereare many alleles and their contribution is best plotted fora single discriminant function at a time using adegenet Rpackage

31 Niche Modelling and Strata Definition Modelled areaof N dombeyi presence under present climate conditionsis 88174 km2 and in the future (year 2050) under dispersalconstraints is 72928 km2 Although it is not qualified with astatus of threatened species we estimated a decrease of almost20 of its habitat area in a relatively short time particularlyin the northern populations associated with Mediterranean-influenced climate which is at least worrisome consideringwe used the most conservative future climate scenario Fusset al [31] showed that the actual reality is the worst climatescenario projected The 119870-means analyses applied to fourbest least correlated variables of WorldClim (BIO2 BIO4BIO12 and BIO15) identified seven strata groups of Ndombeyi in Chile at very broad spatial scales (Figure 1)Thesestrata represented relatively homogeneous habitats accordingto the climatic key variables mentioned The strata namedSeptentrional (1) Alto Biobıo (2) Los Lagos Andes (7)and Patagonia (3) form the latitudinal gradient across AndesMountain range including higher altitudes while the strataNahuelbuta (4) Araucanıa y Los Rıos (5) and Los LagosCosta (6) present some oceanic influence at a gradientlocated in Coastal Mountain range and central valley of thecentral distribution of N dombeyi at lower elevation Thestrata were coherently identified as the bioclimatic transitionfrom temperate biome with some Mediterranean influenceespecially in the northern portion of the Septentrional stra-tum and then the typical temperate bioclimatic classificationacross the rest of the distribution of the species [32]

Figure 1 Using ecological niche models to identify different strata for Nothofagus dombeyi in Chile

individuals with 10109 binary SNP from seven strata Thisdataset was subjected to the impute step and finally totalnumbers of ldquoNNrdquo genotypes were 19067 (003) missingdata

33 Putative under Selection SNP (Adaptive SNP) Usingthe LOSITAN approach 124 adaptive SNP (12) wereidentified (directionally selected) at the false discovery rate(FDR) threshold of 01 (Table 2 Supplementary Table 1) Wedetected 99 adaptive SNP in BayeScan and there were 48overlap cases between the loci reported by each method(see Supplementary Table 1) The adaptive SNP detectedby both approaches were limited (39) possibly reflecting

discrepancies in their methodologies However all the 124SNP identified by LOSITAN had Fst values ge 030 (estimatedacross the 73 N dombeyi individuals and 10109 loci) whichmay be considered as strongly differentiated

Using Sam120573ada we detected 2406 significant genotypesassociated with a given environmental variable They rep-resent 884 SNP (87 of total SNP assessed) and only3 correspond to heterozygous genotypes From the 124outlier SNP identified by LOSITAN genotypes in 121 SNPwere identified as associated with environmental variablesby Sam120573ada (see Supplementary Table 1) Genetic differen-tiation associated with both temperature and precipitationgradients was detected

34 Genome-Wide Genetic Variation and DifferentiationUsing neutral plus outlier SNP (10109) different basic statis-tics of genetic variation of N dombeyi in Chile show lowto medium genetic diversity level and low level of stratadifferentiation (Figure 2) The low genetic structure foundindicates relatively high gene flow which is consistent withthe fact that N dombeyi has a distribution more or lesscontinuous and is wind pollinated This result is similar toother results obtained with the same and other species ofNothofagus gender [33 34] With outlier SNP the indicatorsbased on heterozygosity increase and 119865 statistics shows cleardifferences within strata

Overall average pairwise Fst values among populationscalculated over the set of the 10109 SNP show medium pop-ulation structuring across the distribution of N dombeyi inChile (Table 3) The average pairwise Fst values ranged from0062 between two very close strata (4 and 5) in the Coastal

Figure 3 Discriminant Analysis of Principal Components (DAPC)scatterplot drawnusing 124 outlier single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNP) across 73 Nothofagus dombeyi individuals in the R packageadegenet Dots represent individuals with colours denoting clusterallocation Percentages of cumulated variance explained byPrincipalComponent 1 (PC1) to PC20 are shown in the bottom left cornerMinimum spanning tree based on the (squared) distances betweenclusters within the entire space is shown

The Principal Coordinates Analysis (PCoA) plot revealed ageographically ordered pattern (see Supplementary Figure 3)The first PC suggests the existence of two clades in the datawhile the second one shows groups of closely related isolatesarranged along a cline of genetic differentiation Premoli [35]found continuous clinal genetic variation in populations ofNpumilio along the altitudinal gradient as a result of adaptiveresponses to ecological gradients andor restrictions for geneflowThe same pattern is shown by neutral SNP and adaptiveSNP but with a more clear delimitation in the latter caseThis structure was confirmed by a neighbour-joining (NJ)tree (Supplementary Figure 4) Again higher resolution isachieved with adaptive SNP As expected both approachesgive congruent results but both are complementary NJshows bunches of related individuals but the cline of geneticdifferentiation is much clearer in PCA

Visualisation of broad-scale population structure using aDAPC (Figure 3 and Table 4) with 124 outlier SNP revealedtwo distinct genetic groups One group included individualssampled in all strata corresponding to Clusters 1 2 3 and 5(Table 4) and the other group comprised only ten individualsof stratum 3 plus one individual of stratum 2 forming Cluster4 (represented almost exclusively by individuals of Patagoniastratum) Also the actual proximities between clusters showthe great genetic distance of Cluster 4 with the restThis resultis consistent with a northndashsouth phylogenetic divergence at

c 43∘S found within subgenus Nothofagus in southern SouthAmerica including N dombeyi [12 36]

Clearly when examining patterns of N dombeyi popula-tion differentiation at neutral versus adaptive SNP we havedetected several distinct differences Primarily stochasticprocesses drive differentiation of neutral SNP whereas bothselective and stochastic processes drive that of adaptive SNPfor example [37ndash39]This result supports the hypothesis thatputative under selection SNPare being affected by adaptationwhich is not affecting the neutral SNP The next step is tocharacterize the phenotypic outcomes of alternative geno-types to confirm if themechanism is genetic drift or selectionsimilar to previous studies in Nothofagus pumilio [40 41]Ideally phenotype-genotype association studies should befollowed by the profiling of gene expression functional testsand selection tests to determine that a gene or genes areinvolved in shaping an adaptive trait [42]

35 Loci Contributions Over 24 of the adaptive SNPdetected by LOSITAN had a high loading (here defined asge002) in one or two of the three PC in a PCA with morethan 10K loci of the Chilean population of N dombeyi(Supplementary Figures 5 6 and 7) thus confirming itscontribution to population structure Adaptive SNP ID 414 42 50 and 91 are five of the most discriminating lociand their allele frequencies over seven strata show a highor even dominant allele frequency in stratum 3 (Figure 4)This is the southernmost stratum (3 Patagonia) and thismayjustify the differences in allele frequencies Irrespective ofthe mechanism underlying these changes (drift or selection)this illustrates that in the natural distribution of N dombeyiin Chile specific nucleotides can undergo drastic changeswithin only a hundred kilometres of distance Our resultsexhibited spatial patterns differentiating one stratum in lociwhich could occur in genomic regions or genes for importantfunctions of N dombeyi across their habitat For examplethe GBS sequence tags of adaptive SNP ID 43 (TP30852)show a high identity with a heat shock protein or adaptiveSNP ID 44 (TP32296) with histone acetyltransferase enzyme(data not shown) The first is fundamental for heat orother environmental stresses and the second can be involvedin drought sensing or another response to environmental

factors We therefore suggest that these two SNP may beinteresting candidates for future functional studies thatmightfacilitate other studies for example [43] focused on thedevelopment of genomic resources for Nothofagus speciesHowever improvements in study design and analyses ofreplicated studies will be needed before this very promisingapproach can be brought to application for managing geneticresources [44]

4 Conclusions

Development of 10109 genome-wide SNP for N dombeyiusing GBS made evaluation of genomic diversity and fine-scale population structure possible for the first time in thisspecies in Chile Results showed that genome-wide patternsof genetic diversity and differentiation varied widely acrossthe genome As such we identified numerous genomic

regions exhibiting signatures of divergent selection We havealso provided strong evidence of substantial genetic differ-entiation associated with both temperature and precipitationgradients suggesting local adaptation

enzyme ApeKI and 96 custom barcodes Illumina high-throughput sequencing was conducted on an Illumina HiSeq2000 (Illumina USA) using 100 bp single-end sequencingruns The samples were sequenced across one Illumina laneBase calling was performed in Casava v182 (Illumina USA)

23 Nonreference SNP Calling

231 De Novo Identification of LociAlleles Sequence resultswere analysed and SNP genotypes were assigned using theUNEAK (Universal Network Enabled Analysis Kit) GBSpipeline [19] which is part of the TASSEL 30 [20] bioin-formatic analysis package This pipeline does not dependon a reference sequence which is the actual case for Ndombeyi SNP discovery is performed directly within pairsof matched sequence tags (unique sequence representing agroup of reads) and filtered through network analysis Thenetwork filter trimmed reads to 64 bp to reduce the effectsof error sequencing and enabled efficient storage of data inbit format SNP were assigned with default settings Brieflytags differing by a single nucleotide were retained as SNPand those with a minor allele frequency 005 were removedto minimize the impact of sequencing errors [19] We used aminimum call rate of 0 and additional filters were applied innext steps

232 Post-SNP Calling Filters and Imputation Given that weare trying to find SNP for population genetic analysis we

applied some filters to remove loci and individuals that con-tain very low levels of information prior to further analysisWe applied two functions of TASSEL 52 that removed allSNP (rows) and then samples (columns) containing 90 ormore ldquo119873rdquo values (indicating that neither allele is designated)These 119873s represent individuals where the allele cannot becalled from the sequence readsThis is because either no readis available at this site (for this individual) or the sequencequality is too low to be called

In order to cope with missing data genotype imputationwas used to fill in the missing data and improve the powerof downstream analyses We used LinkImpute implementedin TASSEL 52 a software package based on a 119896-nearestneighbour genotype imputation method LD-119896NNi [21]Thisimputation method was designed specifically for nonmodelorganisms in which genomic resources are poorly developedand marker order is unreliable or unknown

24 Detection of Selection Footprints To identify adaptiveSNP (putative loci under selection) we used LOSITAN [22]LOSITAN is a selection detection workbench based on theFst-outlier methods We used 50000 simulations 099 forconfidence interval false discovery rate of 005 mutationmodel ldquoInfinite Allelesrdquo and the options ldquoNeutral mean Fstrdquoand ldquoForce mean Fstrdquo which iteratively identify and removeFst outliers when calculating the global distribution of FstOur interest is in patterns of adaptation driven by environ-mental gradients therefore we focused on outlier patterns

indicating divergent selection (Fst significantly higher thanneutral expectations)

LOSITAN analyses were complemented with BayeScan21 [23] for estimating the posterior probability that a givenlocus is affected by selection Briefly prior odds of 100 wereused for identifying the top candidates of the selected loci anda total of 50000 reversible-jumpMarkov Chain Monte Carlochains were run with a thinning interval of 10 following 20pilot runs of 5000 iterations each and a burn-in length of50000 Loci were considered outliers with an FDR of 005

To confirm the adaptive SNP detected by previous meth-ods the spatial analysis method (SAM) implemented inthe program Sam120573ada v051 [24] was used We conductedthe analysis using the 10109 SNP detected for N dombeyiin Chile Sam120573ada uses logistic regressions to model theprobability of presence of an allelic variant in a polymorphicmarker given the environmental conditions of the samplinglocations Eight environmental variables previously describedin Section 211 were used (temperature related rarr BIO2BIO4 BIO5 and BIO6 precipitation related rarr BIO12BIO15 BIO18 and BIO19) Regarding genotypes each ofthe states of a given SNP is considered independently asbinary presenceabsence in each sample Our biallelic SNPwere recoded as three distinct genotypes (AA AB and BB)A maximum likelihood approach is used to fit the modelsusing univariate analyses Each model for a given genotypeis compared to a constant model where the probability ofpresence of the genotype is the same at each location Thestatistical significance threshold was set to 1 before applyingBonferroni correction Significance was assessed with loglikelihood ratio (119866) tests [25] selecting lociallele that testedhigher than the 99th percentile of the 119866 score distribution

25 Estimation of Genome-Wide Genetic Variation and Dif-ferentiation Wemade all estimations in parallel with neutralSNP (10109) and adaptive SNP

251 Basic Statistics of Genetic Variation All the results wereobtained using the adegenet [26 27] and hierFstat [28] Rpackages Basic statistics were estimated including observedheterozygosity (Ho) and genetic diversity (Hs) within pop-ulation Also overall gene diversity (Ht) and corrected Ht(Htp) gene diversity among samples (Dst) and correctedDst (Dstp) were estimated Fst and corrected Fst (Fstp) wereassessed as well as Fis followingNei [29] per overall loci Desta measure of population differentiation as defined by Jost[30] was also calculatedThe degree of genetic differentiationamong populations is expected to be low for neutral SNP buthighly divergent in SNP subject to directional selection

252 Population Structure To describe the genetic biodiver-sity of a species more important than diversity among indi-viduals is the diversity between groups of individuals Firstwe analysed individual data to identify populations or morelarge genetic clusters and then we described these clustersby adegenet R package To get a simplified picture of thegenetic diversity observed among individuals or populationswe used Principal Component Analysis (PCA) Discriminant

Analysis of Principal Components (DAPC) function wasused to describe the relationships between these clustersThemain results of DAPC were DAPC scatterplots

For each pair of strata we computed pairwise Fst valueswith hierFstat R package Principal Coordinates Analysis(PCoA) on Fst values was performed to detect major geneticclusters (119870) at individual level

253 Detecting Locus Contributions In DAPC the variablesactually analysed are principal components of a PCA Load-ings of these variables are generally uninformative since PCsthemselves do not all have straightforward interpretationsHowever we can also compute contributions of the alleleswhich can turn out to be very informative In general thereare many alleles and their contribution is best plotted fora single discriminant function at a time using adegenet Rpackage

3 Results and Discussion

31 Niche Modelling and Strata Definition Modelled areaof N dombeyi presence under present climate conditionsis 88174 km2 and in the future (year 2050) under dispersalconstraints is 72928 km2 Although it is not qualified with astatus of threatened species we estimated a decrease of almost20 of its habitat area in a relatively short time particularlyin the northern populations associated with Mediterranean-influenced climate which is at least worrisome consideringwe used the most conservative future climate scenario Fusset al [31] showed that the actual reality is the worst climatescenario projected The 119870-means analyses applied to fourbest least correlated variables of WorldClim (BIO2 BIO4BIO12 and BIO15) identified seven strata groups of Ndombeyi in Chile at very broad spatial scales (Figure 1)Thesestrata represented relatively homogeneous habitats accordingto the climatic key variables mentioned The strata namedSeptentrional (1) Alto Biobıo (2) Los Lagos Andes (7)and Patagonia (3) form the latitudinal gradient across AndesMountain range including higher altitudes while the strataNahuelbuta (4) Araucanıa y Los Rıos (5) and Los LagosCosta (6) present some oceanic influence at a gradientlocated in Coastal Mountain range and central valley of thecentral distribution of N dombeyi at lower elevation Thestrata were coherently identified as the bioclimatic transitionfrom temperate biome with some Mediterranean influenceespecially in the northern portion of the Septentrional stra-tum and then the typical temperate bioclimatic classificationacross the rest of the distribution of the species [32]

Figure 1 Using ecological niche models to identify different strata for Nothofagus dombeyi in Chile

individuals with 10109 binary SNP from seven strata Thisdataset was subjected to the impute step and finally totalnumbers of ldquoNNrdquo genotypes were 19067 (003) missingdata

33 Putative under Selection SNP (Adaptive SNP) Usingthe LOSITAN approach 124 adaptive SNP (12) wereidentified (directionally selected) at the false discovery rate(FDR) threshold of 01 (Table 2 Supplementary Table 1) Wedetected 99 adaptive SNP in BayeScan and there were 48overlap cases between the loci reported by each method(see Supplementary Table 1) The adaptive SNP detectedby both approaches were limited (39) possibly reflecting

discrepancies in their methodologies However all the 124SNP identified by LOSITAN had Fst values ge 030 (estimatedacross the 73 N dombeyi individuals and 10109 loci) whichmay be considered as strongly differentiated

Using Sam120573ada we detected 2406 significant genotypesassociated with a given environmental variable They rep-resent 884 SNP (87 of total SNP assessed) and only3 correspond to heterozygous genotypes From the 124outlier SNP identified by LOSITAN genotypes in 121 SNPwere identified as associated with environmental variablesby Sam120573ada (see Supplementary Table 1) Genetic differen-tiation associated with both temperature and precipitationgradients was detected

The Principal Coordinates Analysis (PCoA) plot revealed ageographically ordered pattern (see Supplementary Figure 3)The first PC suggests the existence of two clades in the datawhile the second one shows groups of closely related isolatesarranged along a cline of genetic differentiation Premoli [35]found continuous clinal genetic variation in populations ofNpumilio along the altitudinal gradient as a result of adaptiveresponses to ecological gradients andor restrictions for geneflowThe same pattern is shown by neutral SNP and adaptiveSNP but with a more clear delimitation in the latter caseThis structure was confirmed by a neighbour-joining (NJ)tree (Supplementary Figure 4) Again higher resolution isachieved with adaptive SNP As expected both approachesgive congruent results but both are complementary NJshows bunches of related individuals but the cline of geneticdifferentiation is much clearer in PCA

Visualisation of broad-scale population structure using aDAPC (Figure 3 and Table 4) with 124 outlier SNP revealedtwo distinct genetic groups One group included individualssampled in all strata corresponding to Clusters 1 2 3 and 5(Table 4) and the other group comprised only ten individualsof stratum 3 plus one individual of stratum 2 forming Cluster4 (represented almost exclusively by individuals of Patagoniastratum) Also the actual proximities between clusters showthe great genetic distance of Cluster 4 with the restThis resultis consistent with a northndashsouth phylogenetic divergence at

Clearly when examining patterns of N dombeyi popula-tion differentiation at neutral versus adaptive SNP we havedetected several distinct differences Primarily stochasticprocesses drive differentiation of neutral SNP whereas bothselective and stochastic processes drive that of adaptive SNPfor example [37ndash39]This result supports the hypothesis thatputative under selection SNPare being affected by adaptationwhich is not affecting the neutral SNP The next step is tocharacterize the phenotypic outcomes of alternative geno-types to confirm if themechanism is genetic drift or selectionsimilar to previous studies in Nothofagus pumilio [40 41]Ideally phenotype-genotype association studies should befollowed by the profiling of gene expression functional testsand selection tests to determine that a gene or genes areinvolved in shaping an adaptive trait [42]

35 Loci Contributions Over 24 of the adaptive SNPdetected by LOSITAN had a high loading (here defined asge002) in one or two of the three PC in a PCA with morethan 10K loci of the Chilean population of N dombeyi(Supplementary Figures 5 6 and 7) thus confirming itscontribution to population structure Adaptive SNP ID 414 42 50 and 91 are five of the most discriminating lociand their allele frequencies over seven strata show a highor even dominant allele frequency in stratum 3 (Figure 4)This is the southernmost stratum (3 Patagonia) and thismayjustify the differences in allele frequencies Irrespective ofthe mechanism underlying these changes (drift or selection)this illustrates that in the natural distribution of N dombeyiin Chile specific nucleotides can undergo drastic changeswithin only a hundred kilometres of distance Our resultsexhibited spatial patterns differentiating one stratum in lociwhich could occur in genomic regions or genes for importantfunctions of N dombeyi across their habitat For examplethe GBS sequence tags of adaptive SNP ID 43 (TP30852)show a high identity with a heat shock protein or adaptiveSNP ID 44 (TP32296) with histone acetyltransferase enzyme(data not shown) The first is fundamental for heat orother environmental stresses and the second can be involvedin drought sensing or another response to environmental

factors We therefore suggest that these two SNP may beinteresting candidates for future functional studies thatmightfacilitate other studies for example [43] focused on thedevelopment of genomic resources for Nothofagus speciesHowever improvements in study design and analyses ofreplicated studies will be needed before this very promisingapproach can be brought to application for managing geneticresources [44]

4 Conclusions

Development of 10109 genome-wide SNP for N dombeyiusing GBS made evaluation of genomic diversity and fine-scale population structure possible for the first time in thisspecies in Chile Results showed that genome-wide patternsof genetic diversity and differentiation varied widely acrossthe genome As such we identified numerous genomic

regions exhibiting signatures of divergent selection We havealso provided strong evidence of substantial genetic differ-entiation associated with both temperature and precipitationgradients suggesting local adaptation

indicating divergent selection (Fst significantly higher thanneutral expectations)

LOSITAN analyses were complemented with BayeScan21 [23] for estimating the posterior probability that a givenlocus is affected by selection Briefly prior odds of 100 wereused for identifying the top candidates of the selected loci anda total of 50000 reversible-jumpMarkov Chain Monte Carlochains were run with a thinning interval of 10 following 20pilot runs of 5000 iterations each and a burn-in length of50000 Loci were considered outliers with an FDR of 005

To confirm the adaptive SNP detected by previous meth-ods the spatial analysis method (SAM) implemented inthe program Sam120573ada v051 [24] was used We conductedthe analysis using the 10109 SNP detected for N dombeyiin Chile Sam120573ada uses logistic regressions to model theprobability of presence of an allelic variant in a polymorphicmarker given the environmental conditions of the samplinglocations Eight environmental variables previously describedin Section 211 were used (temperature related rarr BIO2BIO4 BIO5 and BIO6 precipitation related rarr BIO12BIO15 BIO18 and BIO19) Regarding genotypes each ofthe states of a given SNP is considered independently asbinary presenceabsence in each sample Our biallelic SNPwere recoded as three distinct genotypes (AA AB and BB)A maximum likelihood approach is used to fit the modelsusing univariate analyses Each model for a given genotypeis compared to a constant model where the probability ofpresence of the genotype is the same at each location Thestatistical significance threshold was set to 1 before applyingBonferroni correction Significance was assessed with loglikelihood ratio (119866) tests [25] selecting lociallele that testedhigher than the 99th percentile of the 119866 score distribution

25 Estimation of Genome-Wide Genetic Variation and Dif-ferentiation Wemade all estimations in parallel with neutralSNP (10109) and adaptive SNP

251 Basic Statistics of Genetic Variation All the results wereobtained using the adegenet [26 27] and hierFstat [28] Rpackages Basic statistics were estimated including observedheterozygosity (Ho) and genetic diversity (Hs) within pop-ulation Also overall gene diversity (Ht) and corrected Ht(Htp) gene diversity among samples (Dst) and correctedDst (Dstp) were estimated Fst and corrected Fst (Fstp) wereassessed as well as Fis followingNei [29] per overall loci Desta measure of population differentiation as defined by Jost[30] was also calculatedThe degree of genetic differentiationamong populations is expected to be low for neutral SNP buthighly divergent in SNP subject to directional selection

252 Population Structure To describe the genetic biodiver-sity of a species more important than diversity among indi-viduals is the diversity between groups of individuals Firstwe analysed individual data to identify populations or morelarge genetic clusters and then we described these clustersby adegenet R package To get a simplified picture of thegenetic diversity observed among individuals or populationswe used Principal Component Analysis (PCA) Discriminant

Analysis of Principal Components (DAPC) function wasused to describe the relationships between these clustersThemain results of DAPC were DAPC scatterplots

For each pair of strata we computed pairwise Fst valueswith hierFstat R package Principal Coordinates Analysis(PCoA) on Fst values was performed to detect major geneticclusters (119870) at individual level

253 Detecting Locus Contributions In DAPC the variablesactually analysed are principal components of a PCA Load-ings of these variables are generally uninformative since PCsthemselves do not all have straightforward interpretationsHowever we can also compute contributions of the alleleswhich can turn out to be very informative In general thereare many alleles and their contribution is best plotted fora single discriminant function at a time using adegenet Rpackage

3 Results and Discussion

31 Niche Modelling and Strata Definition Modelled areaof N dombeyi presence under present climate conditionsis 88174 km2 and in the future (year 2050) under dispersalconstraints is 72928 km2 Although it is not qualified with astatus of threatened species we estimated a decrease of almost20 of its habitat area in a relatively short time particularlyin the northern populations associated with Mediterranean-influenced climate which is at least worrisome consideringwe used the most conservative future climate scenario Fusset al [31] showed that the actual reality is the worst climatescenario projected The 119870-means analyses applied to fourbest least correlated variables of WorldClim (BIO2 BIO4BIO12 and BIO15) identified seven strata groups of Ndombeyi in Chile at very broad spatial scales (Figure 1)Thesestrata represented relatively homogeneous habitats accordingto the climatic key variables mentioned The strata namedSeptentrional (1) Alto Biobıo (2) Los Lagos Andes (7)and Patagonia (3) form the latitudinal gradient across AndesMountain range including higher altitudes while the strataNahuelbuta (4) Araucanıa y Los Rıos (5) and Los LagosCosta (6) present some oceanic influence at a gradientlocated in Coastal Mountain range and central valley of thecentral distribution of N dombeyi at lower elevation Thestrata were coherently identified as the bioclimatic transitionfrom temperate biome with some Mediterranean influenceespecially in the northern portion of the Septentrional stra-tum and then the typical temperate bioclimatic classificationacross the rest of the distribution of the species [32]

individuals with 10109 binary SNP from seven strata Thisdataset was subjected to the impute step and finally totalnumbers of ldquoNNrdquo genotypes were 19067 (003) missingdata

33 Putative under Selection SNP (Adaptive SNP) Usingthe LOSITAN approach 124 adaptive SNP (12) wereidentified (directionally selected) at the false discovery rate(FDR) threshold of 01 (Table 2 Supplementary Table 1) Wedetected 99 adaptive SNP in BayeScan and there were 48overlap cases between the loci reported by each method(see Supplementary Table 1) The adaptive SNP detectedby both approaches were limited (39) possibly reflecting

discrepancies in their methodologies However all the 124SNP identified by LOSITAN had Fst values ge 030 (estimatedacross the 73 N dombeyi individuals and 10109 loci) whichmay be considered as strongly differentiated

Using Sam120573ada we detected 2406 significant genotypesassociated with a given environmental variable They rep-resent 884 SNP (87 of total SNP assessed) and only3 correspond to heterozygous genotypes From the 124outlier SNP identified by LOSITAN genotypes in 121 SNPwere identified as associated with environmental variablesby Sam120573ada (see Supplementary Table 1) Genetic differen-tiation associated with both temperature and precipitationgradients was detected

The Principal Coordinates Analysis (PCoA) plot revealed ageographically ordered pattern (see Supplementary Figure 3)The first PC suggests the existence of two clades in the datawhile the second one shows groups of closely related isolatesarranged along a cline of genetic differentiation Premoli [35]found continuous clinal genetic variation in populations ofNpumilio along the altitudinal gradient as a result of adaptiveresponses to ecological gradients andor restrictions for geneflowThe same pattern is shown by neutral SNP and adaptiveSNP but with a more clear delimitation in the latter caseThis structure was confirmed by a neighbour-joining (NJ)tree (Supplementary Figure 4) Again higher resolution isachieved with adaptive SNP As expected both approachesgive congruent results but both are complementary NJshows bunches of related individuals but the cline of geneticdifferentiation is much clearer in PCA

Visualisation of broad-scale population structure using aDAPC (Figure 3 and Table 4) with 124 outlier SNP revealedtwo distinct genetic groups One group included individualssampled in all strata corresponding to Clusters 1 2 3 and 5(Table 4) and the other group comprised only ten individualsof stratum 3 plus one individual of stratum 2 forming Cluster4 (represented almost exclusively by individuals of Patagoniastratum) Also the actual proximities between clusters showthe great genetic distance of Cluster 4 with the restThis resultis consistent with a northndashsouth phylogenetic divergence at

c 43∘S found within subgenus Nothofagus in southern SouthAmerica including N dombeyi [12 36]

Clearly when examining patterns of N dombeyi popula-tion differentiation at neutral versus adaptive SNP we havedetected several distinct differences Primarily stochasticprocesses drive differentiation of neutral SNP whereas bothselective and stochastic processes drive that of adaptive SNPfor example [37ndash39]This result supports the hypothesis thatputative under selection SNPare being affected by adaptationwhich is not affecting the neutral SNP The next step is tocharacterize the phenotypic outcomes of alternative geno-types to confirm if themechanism is genetic drift or selectionsimilar to previous studies in Nothofagus pumilio [40 41]Ideally phenotype-genotype association studies should befollowed by the profiling of gene expression functional testsand selection tests to determine that a gene or genes areinvolved in shaping an adaptive trait [42]

35 Loci Contributions Over 24 of the adaptive SNPdetected by LOSITAN had a high loading (here defined asge002) in one or two of the three PC in a PCA with morethan 10K loci of the Chilean population of N dombeyi(Supplementary Figures 5 6 and 7) thus confirming itscontribution to population structure Adaptive SNP ID 414 42 50 and 91 are five of the most discriminating lociand their allele frequencies over seven strata show a highor even dominant allele frequency in stratum 3 (Figure 4)This is the southernmost stratum (3 Patagonia) and thismayjustify the differences in allele frequencies Irrespective ofthe mechanism underlying these changes (drift or selection)this illustrates that in the natural distribution of N dombeyiin Chile specific nucleotides can undergo drastic changeswithin only a hundred kilometres of distance Our resultsexhibited spatial patterns differentiating one stratum in lociwhich could occur in genomic regions or genes for importantfunctions of N dombeyi across their habitat For examplethe GBS sequence tags of adaptive SNP ID 43 (TP30852)show a high identity with a heat shock protein or adaptiveSNP ID 44 (TP32296) with histone acetyltransferase enzyme(data not shown) The first is fundamental for heat orother environmental stresses and the second can be involvedin drought sensing or another response to environmental

Figure 4 Spatial distributions of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) locigenotypes in N dombeyi in Chile for each strata The graphsshow frequencies of locigenotypes differentiating among strata (SNP 3479 SNP 8429 SNP 30254 SNP 38613 and SNP 65805) and nodifferentiating among strata (SNP 23119)

factors We therefore suggest that these two SNP may beinteresting candidates for future functional studies thatmightfacilitate other studies for example [43] focused on thedevelopment of genomic resources for Nothofagus speciesHowever improvements in study design and analyses ofreplicated studies will be needed before this very promisingapproach can be brought to application for managing geneticresources [44]

4 Conclusions

Development of 10109 genome-wide SNP for N dombeyiusing GBS made evaluation of genomic diversity and fine-scale population structure possible for the first time in thisspecies in Chile Results showed that genome-wide patternsof genetic diversity and differentiation varied widely acrossthe genome As such we identified numerous genomic

regions exhibiting signatures of divergent selection We havealso provided strong evidence of substantial genetic differ-entiation associated with both temperature and precipitationgradients suggesting local adaptation

Figure 1 Using ecological niche models to identify different strata for Nothofagus dombeyi in Chile

individuals with 10109 binary SNP from seven strata Thisdataset was subjected to the impute step and finally totalnumbers of ldquoNNrdquo genotypes were 19067 (003) missingdata

33 Putative under Selection SNP (Adaptive SNP) Usingthe LOSITAN approach 124 adaptive SNP (12) wereidentified (directionally selected) at the false discovery rate(FDR) threshold of 01 (Table 2 Supplementary Table 1) Wedetected 99 adaptive SNP in BayeScan and there were 48overlap cases between the loci reported by each method(see Supplementary Table 1) The adaptive SNP detectedby both approaches were limited (39) possibly reflecting

discrepancies in their methodologies However all the 124SNP identified by LOSITAN had Fst values ge 030 (estimatedacross the 73 N dombeyi individuals and 10109 loci) whichmay be considered as strongly differentiated

Using Sam120573ada we detected 2406 significant genotypesassociated with a given environmental variable They rep-resent 884 SNP (87 of total SNP assessed) and only3 correspond to heterozygous genotypes From the 124outlier SNP identified by LOSITAN genotypes in 121 SNPwere identified as associated with environmental variablesby Sam120573ada (see Supplementary Table 1) Genetic differen-tiation associated with both temperature and precipitationgradients was detected

34 Genome-Wide Genetic Variation and DifferentiationUsing neutral plus outlier SNP (10109) different basic statis-tics of genetic variation of N dombeyi in Chile show lowto medium genetic diversity level and low level of stratadifferentiation (Figure 2) The low genetic structure foundindicates relatively high gene flow which is consistent withthe fact that N dombeyi has a distribution more or lesscontinuous and is wind pollinated This result is similar toother results obtained with the same and other species ofNothofagus gender [33 34] With outlier SNP the indicatorsbased on heterozygosity increase and 119865 statistics shows cleardifferences within strata

Overall average pairwise Fst values among populationscalculated over the set of the 10109 SNP show medium pop-ulation structuring across the distribution of N dombeyi inChile (Table 3) The average pairwise Fst values ranged from0062 between two very close strata (4 and 5) in the Coastal

The Principal Coordinates Analysis (PCoA) plot revealed ageographically ordered pattern (see Supplementary Figure 3)The first PC suggests the existence of two clades in the datawhile the second one shows groups of closely related isolatesarranged along a cline of genetic differentiation Premoli [35]found continuous clinal genetic variation in populations ofNpumilio along the altitudinal gradient as a result of adaptiveresponses to ecological gradients andor restrictions for geneflowThe same pattern is shown by neutral SNP and adaptiveSNP but with a more clear delimitation in the latter caseThis structure was confirmed by a neighbour-joining (NJ)tree (Supplementary Figure 4) Again higher resolution isachieved with adaptive SNP As expected both approachesgive congruent results but both are complementary NJshows bunches of related individuals but the cline of geneticdifferentiation is much clearer in PCA

Visualisation of broad-scale population structure using aDAPC (Figure 3 and Table 4) with 124 outlier SNP revealedtwo distinct genetic groups One group included individualssampled in all strata corresponding to Clusters 1 2 3 and 5(Table 4) and the other group comprised only ten individualsof stratum 3 plus one individual of stratum 2 forming Cluster4 (represented almost exclusively by individuals of Patagoniastratum) Also the actual proximities between clusters showthe great genetic distance of Cluster 4 with the restThis resultis consistent with a northndashsouth phylogenetic divergence at

c 43∘S found within subgenus Nothofagus in southern SouthAmerica including N dombeyi [12 36]

Clearly when examining patterns of N dombeyi popula-tion differentiation at neutral versus adaptive SNP we havedetected several distinct differences Primarily stochasticprocesses drive differentiation of neutral SNP whereas bothselective and stochastic processes drive that of adaptive SNPfor example [37ndash39]This result supports the hypothesis thatputative under selection SNPare being affected by adaptationwhich is not affecting the neutral SNP The next step is tocharacterize the phenotypic outcomes of alternative geno-types to confirm if themechanism is genetic drift or selectionsimilar to previous studies in Nothofagus pumilio [40 41]Ideally phenotype-genotype association studies should befollowed by the profiling of gene expression functional testsand selection tests to determine that a gene or genes areinvolved in shaping an adaptive trait [42]

35 Loci Contributions Over 24 of the adaptive SNPdetected by LOSITAN had a high loading (here defined asge002) in one or two of the three PC in a PCA with morethan 10K loci of the Chilean population of N dombeyi(Supplementary Figures 5 6 and 7) thus confirming itscontribution to population structure Adaptive SNP ID 414 42 50 and 91 are five of the most discriminating lociand their allele frequencies over seven strata show a highor even dominant allele frequency in stratum 3 (Figure 4)This is the southernmost stratum (3 Patagonia) and thismayjustify the differences in allele frequencies Irrespective ofthe mechanism underlying these changes (drift or selection)this illustrates that in the natural distribution of N dombeyiin Chile specific nucleotides can undergo drastic changeswithin only a hundred kilometres of distance Our resultsexhibited spatial patterns differentiating one stratum in lociwhich could occur in genomic regions or genes for importantfunctions of N dombeyi across their habitat For examplethe GBS sequence tags of adaptive SNP ID 43 (TP30852)show a high identity with a heat shock protein or adaptiveSNP ID 44 (TP32296) with histone acetyltransferase enzyme(data not shown) The first is fundamental for heat orother environmental stresses and the second can be involvedin drought sensing or another response to environmental

Figure 4 Spatial distributions of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) locigenotypes in N dombeyi in Chile for each strata The graphsshow frequencies of locigenotypes differentiating among strata (SNP 3479 SNP 8429 SNP 30254 SNP 38613 and SNP 65805) and nodifferentiating among strata (SNP 23119)

factors We therefore suggest that these two SNP may beinteresting candidates for future functional studies thatmightfacilitate other studies for example [43] focused on thedevelopment of genomic resources for Nothofagus speciesHowever improvements in study design and analyses ofreplicated studies will be needed before this very promisingapproach can be brought to application for managing geneticresources [44]

4 Conclusions

Development of 10109 genome-wide SNP for N dombeyiusing GBS made evaluation of genomic diversity and fine-scale population structure possible for the first time in thisspecies in Chile Results showed that genome-wide patternsof genetic diversity and differentiation varied widely acrossthe genome As such we identified numerous genomic

regions exhibiting signatures of divergent selection We havealso provided strong evidence of substantial genetic differ-entiation associated with both temperature and precipitationgradients suggesting local adaptation

34 Genome-Wide Genetic Variation and DifferentiationUsing neutral plus outlier SNP (10109) different basic statis-tics of genetic variation of N dombeyi in Chile show lowto medium genetic diversity level and low level of stratadifferentiation (Figure 2) The low genetic structure foundindicates relatively high gene flow which is consistent withthe fact that N dombeyi has a distribution more or lesscontinuous and is wind pollinated This result is similar toother results obtained with the same and other species ofNothofagus gender [33 34] With outlier SNP the indicatorsbased on heterozygosity increase and 119865 statistics shows cleardifferences within strata

Overall average pairwise Fst values among populationscalculated over the set of the 10109 SNP show medium pop-ulation structuring across the distribution of N dombeyi inChile (Table 3) The average pairwise Fst values ranged from0062 between two very close strata (4 and 5) in the Coastal

The Principal Coordinates Analysis (PCoA) plot revealed ageographically ordered pattern (see Supplementary Figure 3)The first PC suggests the existence of two clades in the datawhile the second one shows groups of closely related isolatesarranged along a cline of genetic differentiation Premoli [35]found continuous clinal genetic variation in populations ofNpumilio along the altitudinal gradient as a result of adaptiveresponses to ecological gradients andor restrictions for geneflowThe same pattern is shown by neutral SNP and adaptiveSNP but with a more clear delimitation in the latter caseThis structure was confirmed by a neighbour-joining (NJ)tree (Supplementary Figure 4) Again higher resolution isachieved with adaptive SNP As expected both approachesgive congruent results but both are complementary NJshows bunches of related individuals but the cline of geneticdifferentiation is much clearer in PCA

Visualisation of broad-scale population structure using aDAPC (Figure 3 and Table 4) with 124 outlier SNP revealedtwo distinct genetic groups One group included individualssampled in all strata corresponding to Clusters 1 2 3 and 5(Table 4) and the other group comprised only ten individualsof stratum 3 plus one individual of stratum 2 forming Cluster4 (represented almost exclusively by individuals of Patagoniastratum) Also the actual proximities between clusters showthe great genetic distance of Cluster 4 with the restThis resultis consistent with a northndashsouth phylogenetic divergence at

c 43∘S found within subgenus Nothofagus in southern SouthAmerica including N dombeyi [12 36]

Clearly when examining patterns of N dombeyi popula-tion differentiation at neutral versus adaptive SNP we havedetected several distinct differences Primarily stochasticprocesses drive differentiation of neutral SNP whereas bothselective and stochastic processes drive that of adaptive SNPfor example [37ndash39]This result supports the hypothesis thatputative under selection SNPare being affected by adaptationwhich is not affecting the neutral SNP The next step is tocharacterize the phenotypic outcomes of alternative geno-types to confirm if themechanism is genetic drift or selectionsimilar to previous studies in Nothofagus pumilio [40 41]Ideally phenotype-genotype association studies should befollowed by the profiling of gene expression functional testsand selection tests to determine that a gene or genes areinvolved in shaping an adaptive trait [42]

35 Loci Contributions Over 24 of the adaptive SNPdetected by LOSITAN had a high loading (here defined asge002) in one or two of the three PC in a PCA with morethan 10K loci of the Chilean population of N dombeyi(Supplementary Figures 5 6 and 7) thus confirming itscontribution to population structure Adaptive SNP ID 414 42 50 and 91 are five of the most discriminating lociand their allele frequencies over seven strata show a highor even dominant allele frequency in stratum 3 (Figure 4)This is the southernmost stratum (3 Patagonia) and thismayjustify the differences in allele frequencies Irrespective ofthe mechanism underlying these changes (drift or selection)this illustrates that in the natural distribution of N dombeyiin Chile specific nucleotides can undergo drastic changeswithin only a hundred kilometres of distance Our resultsexhibited spatial patterns differentiating one stratum in lociwhich could occur in genomic regions or genes for importantfunctions of N dombeyi across their habitat For examplethe GBS sequence tags of adaptive SNP ID 43 (TP30852)show a high identity with a heat shock protein or adaptiveSNP ID 44 (TP32296) with histone acetyltransferase enzyme(data not shown) The first is fundamental for heat orother environmental stresses and the second can be involvedin drought sensing or another response to environmental

Figure 4 Spatial distributions of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) locigenotypes in N dombeyi in Chile for each strata The graphsshow frequencies of locigenotypes differentiating among strata (SNP 3479 SNP 8429 SNP 30254 SNP 38613 and SNP 65805) and nodifferentiating among strata (SNP 23119)

factors We therefore suggest that these two SNP may beinteresting candidates for future functional studies thatmightfacilitate other studies for example [43] focused on thedevelopment of genomic resources for Nothofagus speciesHowever improvements in study design and analyses ofreplicated studies will be needed before this very promisingapproach can be brought to application for managing geneticresources [44]

4 Conclusions

Development of 10109 genome-wide SNP for N dombeyiusing GBS made evaluation of genomic diversity and fine-scale population structure possible for the first time in thisspecies in Chile Results showed that genome-wide patternsof genetic diversity and differentiation varied widely acrossthe genome As such we identified numerous genomic

regions exhibiting signatures of divergent selection We havealso provided strong evidence of substantial genetic differ-entiation associated with both temperature and precipitationgradients suggesting local adaptation

Clearly when examining patterns of N dombeyi popula-tion differentiation at neutral versus adaptive SNP we havedetected several distinct differences Primarily stochasticprocesses drive differentiation of neutral SNP whereas bothselective and stochastic processes drive that of adaptive SNPfor example [37ndash39]This result supports the hypothesis thatputative under selection SNPare being affected by adaptationwhich is not affecting the neutral SNP The next step is tocharacterize the phenotypic outcomes of alternative geno-types to confirm if themechanism is genetic drift or selectionsimilar to previous studies in Nothofagus pumilio [40 41]Ideally phenotype-genotype association studies should befollowed by the profiling of gene expression functional testsand selection tests to determine that a gene or genes areinvolved in shaping an adaptive trait [42]

35 Loci Contributions Over 24 of the adaptive SNPdetected by LOSITAN had a high loading (here defined asge002) in one or two of the three PC in a PCA with morethan 10K loci of the Chilean population of N dombeyi(Supplementary Figures 5 6 and 7) thus confirming itscontribution to population structure Adaptive SNP ID 414 42 50 and 91 are five of the most discriminating lociand their allele frequencies over seven strata show a highor even dominant allele frequency in stratum 3 (Figure 4)This is the southernmost stratum (3 Patagonia) and thismayjustify the differences in allele frequencies Irrespective ofthe mechanism underlying these changes (drift or selection)this illustrates that in the natural distribution of N dombeyiin Chile specific nucleotides can undergo drastic changeswithin only a hundred kilometres of distance Our resultsexhibited spatial patterns differentiating one stratum in lociwhich could occur in genomic regions or genes for importantfunctions of N dombeyi across their habitat For examplethe GBS sequence tags of adaptive SNP ID 43 (TP30852)show a high identity with a heat shock protein or adaptiveSNP ID 44 (TP32296) with histone acetyltransferase enzyme(data not shown) The first is fundamental for heat orother environmental stresses and the second can be involvedin drought sensing or another response to environmental

Figure 4 Spatial distributions of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) locigenotypes in N dombeyi in Chile for each strata The graphsshow frequencies of locigenotypes differentiating among strata (SNP 3479 SNP 8429 SNP 30254 SNP 38613 and SNP 65805) and nodifferentiating among strata (SNP 23119)

factors We therefore suggest that these two SNP may beinteresting candidates for future functional studies thatmightfacilitate other studies for example [43] focused on thedevelopment of genomic resources for Nothofagus speciesHowever improvements in study design and analyses ofreplicated studies will be needed before this very promisingapproach can be brought to application for managing geneticresources [44]

4 Conclusions

Development of 10109 genome-wide SNP for N dombeyiusing GBS made evaluation of genomic diversity and fine-scale population structure possible for the first time in thisspecies in Chile Results showed that genome-wide patternsof genetic diversity and differentiation varied widely acrossthe genome As such we identified numerous genomic

regions exhibiting signatures of divergent selection We havealso provided strong evidence of substantial genetic differ-entiation associated with both temperature and precipitationgradients suggesting local adaptation
