Description
Summary:Estimating the frequency of hybridization is important to understand its evolutionary consequences and its effects on conservation efforts. In this study, we examined the extent of hybridization in two sister species of ducks that hybridize. We used mitochondrial control region sequences and 3,589 double-digest restriction-associated DNA sequences (ddRADseq) to identify admixture between wild lesser scaup (Aythya affinis) and greater scaup (A. marila). Among 111 individuals, we found one introgressed mitochondrial DNA haplotype in lesser scaup and four in greater scaup. Likewise, based on the site-frequency spectrum from autosomal DNA, gene flow was asymmetrical, with higher rates from lesser into greater scaup. However, using ddRADseq nuclear DNA all individuals were assigned to their respective species with > 0.95 posterior assignment probability. To examine the power for detecting admixture, we simulated a breeding experiment in which empirical data were used to create F1 hybrids and nine generations ... : DADI.INPUT.FILESReady-run dadi files for 3 models that includes isolation-with-migration (IM), neutral-no-divergence (neutral.model), and split with secondary contact (Split.Mig) using the folded frequency spectrum of only minor alleles for greater (N = 64) and lesser (N = 47) scaup.
