Description
Summary:Highly fecund natural populations characterized by high early mortality abound, yet our knowledge about their recruitment dynamics is somewhat rudimentary. This knowledge gap has implications for our understanding of genetic variation, population connectivity, local adaptation, and the resilience of highly fecund populations. The concept of sweepstakes reproductive success, which posits a considerable variance and skew in individual reproductive output, is key to understanding the distribution of individual reproductive success. However, it still needs to be determined whether highly fecund organisms reproduce through sweepstakes and, if they do, the relative roles of neutral and selective sweepstakes. Here we use coalescent-based statistical analysis of population genomic data to show that selective sweepstakes likely explain recruitment dynamics in the highly fecund Atlantic cod. We show that the Kingman coalescent (modeling no sweepstakes) and the Xi-Beta coalescent (modeling random sweepstakes), ... : The data described in Árnason et al. 2023 are unfolded site frequency spectra of two populations of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) from Iceland. The site frequency spectra are estimated from whole-genome sequence results using ANGSD (Korneliussen et. al 2014). The estimation uses genotype likelihood (Samtools likelihood, gl1, and GATK likelihood, gl2) and returns 100 bootstrap estimates. An estimate is provided for each of the 23 chromosomes. Pacific cod (G. macrocephalus) was used as an outgroup to polarize the variation at sites. Reference Árnason E, Koskela J, Halldórsdóttir K, and Eldon B. 2023.
