Abstract
Both present-day and past processes can shape connectivity of populations. Pleistocene vicariant events and dispersal have shaped the present distribution and connectivity patterns of aquatic species in the Indo-Pacific region. In particular, the processes that have shaped distribution of amphidromous goby species still remain unknown. Previous studies show that phylogeographic breaks are observed between populations in the Indian and Pacific Oceans where the shallow Sunda shelf constituted a geographical barrier to dispersal, or that the large spans of open ocean that isolate the Hawaiian or Polynesian Islands are also barriers for amphidromous species even though they have great dispersal capacity. Here we assess past and present genetic structure of populations of two amphidromous fish (gobies of the Sicydiinae) that are widely distributed in the Central West Pacific and which have similar pelagic larval durations. We analysed sections of mitochondrial COI, Cytb and nuclear Rhodospine genes in individuals sampled from different locations across their entire known range. Similar to other Sicydiinae fish, intraspecific mtDNA genetic diversity was high for all species (haplotype diversity between 0.9–0.96). Spatial analyses of genetic variation in

Spatial analyses of genetic variation in <italic>Sicyopus zosterophorum</italic> demonstrated strong isolation across the Torres Strait, which was a geologically intermittent land barrier linking Australia to Papua New Guinea. There was a clear genetic break between the northwestern and the southwestern clusters in <italic>Si. zosterophorum</italic> (φ<sub>ST</sub> = 0.67502 for COI) and coalescent analyses revealed that the two populations split at 306 Kyr BP (95% HPD 79–625 Kyr BP), which is consistent with a Pleistocene separation caused by the Torres Strait barrier. However, this geographical barrier did not seem to affect <italic>Sm. fehlmanni</italic>. Historical and demographic hypotheses are raised to explain the different patterns of population structure and distribution between these species. Strategies aiming to conserve amphidromous fish should consider the presence of cryptic evolutionary lineages to prevent stock depletion.</p></div></front><back><div1

Pleistocene vicariant events and dispersal have shaped the present distribution and connectivity patterns of aquatic species in the Indo-Pacific region. In particular, the processes that have shaped distribution of amphidromous goby species still remain unknown. Previous studies show that phylogeographic breaks are observed between populations in the Indian and Pacific Oceans where the shallow Sunda shelf constituted a geographical barrier to dispersal, or that the large spans of open ocean that isolate the Hawaiian or Polynesian Islands are also barriers for amphidromous species even though they have great dispersal capacity. Here we assess past and present genetic structure of populations of two amphidromous fish (gobies of the Sicydiinae) that are widely distributed in the Central West Pacific and which have similar pelagic larval durations. We analysed sections of mitochondrial COI, Cytb and nuclear Rhodospine genes in individuals sampled from different locations across their entire known range. Similar to other Sicydiinae fish, intraspecific mtDNA genetic diversity was high for all species (haplotype diversity between 0.9–0.96). Spatial analyses of genetic variation in <italic>Sicyopus zosterophorum</italic> demonstrated strong isolation across the Torres Strait, which was a geologically intermittent land barrier linking Australia to Papua New Guinea. There was a clear genetic break between the northwestern and the southwestern clusters in <italic>Si. zosterophorum</italic> (φ<sub>ST</sub> = 0.67502 for COI) and coalescent analyses revealed that the two populations split at 306 Kyr BP (95% HPD 79–625 Kyr BP), which is consistent with a Pleistocene separation caused by the Torres Strait barrier. However, this geographical barrier did not seem to affect <italic>Sm. fehlmanni</italic>. Historical and demographic hypotheses are raised to explain the different patterns of population structure and distribution between these species. Strategies aiming to conserve amphidromous fish should consider the presence of cryptic evolutionary lineages to prevent stock depletion.</p></abstract><funding-group><funding-statement>This study was supported by the New Caledonian Government, the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle of Paris (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.mnhn.fr/le-museum/">www.mnhn.fr/le-museum/</ext-link>), the BIONEOCAL ANR, the French Ichtyological Society (SFI), the UMR BOREA 7208 (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.mnhn.fr/mnhn/UMR7208/">www.mnhn.fr/mnhn/UMR7208/</ext-link>), and the AIMARA association.

Because of their extended PLD (about 55 days), populations of neither species (<italic>Si. zosterophorum</italic> and <italic>Sm. fehlmanni</italic>) were expected to show genetic breaks within the Central West Pacific bioregion. But, if breaks were present, they would be expected to be congruent because both species have similar PLD, biology and spatial ranges.

The genetic structure revealed by the COI network was consistent with a Cytb network (Cytb data and network not shown).</p><p>The AMOVA performed among the six populations (Japan, Philippines, Palau, Papua, New Caledonia and Vanuatu) showed highly significant genetic differentiation (φ<sub>ST</sub> = 0.55737, p-value <10<sup>−5</sup>, <xref ref-type="table" rid="pone-0075465-t003">Table 3</xref>). This differentiation was driven by the comparison between the northwest and southwest clusters; as among populations φ<sub>ST</sub> within each cluster showed no significant values (<xref ref-type="table" rid="pone-0075465-t003">Table 3</xref>). To increase statistical power of analysis, the AMOVA was then performed on a grouped dataset. We pooled individuals from the northwest cluster and individuals from the southwest cluster. Thus, on the basis of geographic proximity, two groups of specimens were considered: (1) Japan, Philippines, Palau and Papua (2) New Caledonia, Vanuatu and Fiji. The AMOVA between these two groups showed a significant genetic differentiation (φ<sub>ST</sub> = 0.6743, p-value <10<sup>−5</sup>, <xref ref-type="table" rid="pone-0075465-t004">Table 4</xref>). Pairwise φ<sub>ST</sub> revealed a contrast between intra-group and inter-group genetic differentiation.

Surprisingly, the analysis of population genetics over the sampled region revealed contrasting patterns of genetic structure between the two species studied. Despite low number of samples, genetic connectivity among <italic>Sm. fehlmanni</italic> populations was high as expected, suggesting that for this species, neither the fragmentation of freshwater habitat nor the oceanic currents surrounding the Central West Pacific Ocean or the presence of the Torres Strait barrier have created significant barriers to gene exchange. Likewise, the broadly distributed amphidromous goby <italic>Sicyopterus lagocephalus</italic>, displays low genetic structure among the islands of the West Pacific <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Lord2">[24]</xref>. These results also are consistent with patterns of high connectivity observed in amphidromous species such as Neritidae and Neritiliidae snails <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Crandall2">[27]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Kano1">[74]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Hodges1">[75]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Myers1">[76]</xref>, Galaxiidae <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Waters1">[77]</xref> or Sicydiinae fish <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Lord2">[24]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Watanabe1">[78]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Chubb1">[79]</xref>. However, a larger number of samples for <italic>Sm. fehlmanni</italic> will be necessary to confirm these results in future studies.</p><p>By contrast, the haplotype networks of <italic>Si. zosterophorum</italic> displayed a deep division into two haplogroups. One group was restricted to the northwest of the Central West Pacific, and the other group was restricted to the southwest. The phylogenetic tree (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0075465-g002">Fig. 2</xref>), based on the nuclear Rh gene, showed that intraspecific divergence of <italic>Si. zosterophorum</italic> individuals was similar to interspecific divergence between <italic>Sm. fehlmanni</italic> and <italic>Sm. chloe</italic>, suggesting that the two haplogroups may be cryptic species. But, there are three arguments against this. The first is that <italic>Si. zosterophorum</italic> individuals from northwest and southwest were not completely reciprocally monophyletic as one northwest Pacific-like haplotype was sampled amongst 68 samples from the southwest Pacific. Secondly, there were no morphological or meristic differences between the individuals of the two bioregions. And lastly, divergence among the putative cryptic species was not reflected in the rhodopsin phylogeny, although the lack of rhodopsin geographic clades could be due to retained ancestral polymorphism. Considering these arguments, we treated all specimens of <italic>Si. zosterophorum</italic> as belonging to a single species.</p><p>The genetic distance between the two groups indicates the presence of one or more barriers to dispersal that may have prevented, or be preventing, migration between these geographic areas. However, the occurrence of one northwest Pacific-like haplotype in one of the 68 southwest Pacific samples suggests that migration and gene flow may have been possible (now or at some time in the evolutionary past) between the two geographic areas, but not sufficient to ensure mtDNA homogenization among regions. A similar pattern has been found for the diadromous species <italic>Galaxias maculatus</italic> between Tasmania and New Zealand suggesting a directional rare dispersal event <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Waters2">[80]</xref>.</p></sec><sec id="s4b"><title>Putative Effect of the Torres Strait Barrier</title><p>The location of the genetic break in <italic>Si. zosterophorum</italic> appears to correspond with the Torres Strait barrier (TSB). This narrow passage connects the northerly and southerly parts of the distribution of <italic>Si. zosterophorum</italic> and <italic>Sm. fehlmanni</italic> in the Central West Pacific. The species are not known to occur in streams on the northern coastline of Papua New Guinea <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Watson2">[44]</xref> where the specific requirements for their establishment (short, steep, well oxygenated streams) are known to be scarce or absent in this region. Also, the oceanic currents along the northern coastline of Papua New Guinea do not favour the distribution of larvae in this region. The allopatric nature of <italic>Si. zosterophorum</italic> clades across the TSB has been documented in other clades of taxa such as reef fish and other marine organisms like crustaceans, molluscs, echinoderms and sharks <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Crandall1">[25]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Chenoweth1">[30]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Mirams1">[37]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Tillett1">[81]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Lukoschek1">[82]</xref> even though some of these taxa could have dispersed to the north of Papua land mass. In the tropical Indo-Pacific province, it has been suggested that during the Pleistocene, lowering of sea levels repeatedly changed the extent of the TSB <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Gaither1">[5]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Mirams1">[37]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Tillett1">[81]</xref>. The estimated time of divergence between the northwest and southwest clades of <italic>Si. zosterophorum</italic> (<italic>i.e.</italic> 306 Kyr; 95% HPD [79; 625]) is concordant with the most recent closure of the intermittent TSB during the Pleistocene, which is further evidence that the TSB is implicated in the genetic break in this species. Earlier closures of Torres Strait are known, which may have also led to divergence between the clades. Sea level has been at least 10 m below present level during 91% of the time for the last 250,000 years <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Voris1">[7]</xref> (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="pone-0075465-g001">Fig. 1b</xref>) and during this time Papua New Guinea would have been largely connected to the Australian mainland at the Torres Strait <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Jennings1">[83]</xref>. This scenario of vicariant events across the TSB with the persistence of sister populations on either side of the land bridge is likely for <italic>Si. zosterophorum</italic>, although other factors such as life history traits, oceanic barriers or habitat availability may have played important roles and cannot be ruled out.</p><p>It appears that similar processes have not resulted in genetic divergence in <italic>Sm. fehlmanni</italic>. Despite sea level fluctuations, <italic>Sm. fehlmanni</italic> shows no phylogeographical structure and numerous haplotypes are shared between geographically distant populations, which indicates high connectivity. One hypothesis for the lack of phylogeographical structure across the TSB for <italic>Sm. fehlmanni</italic> is that one of the two putative lineages formed by a TSB vicariant event may have been lost due to local extinction on one side of the Torres Strait, followed by recent re-colonization through the Torres Strait within the last 7,000 years <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Lukoschek1">[82]</xref>. In this case, we would expect to find no appreciable genetic divergence between populations and reduced diversity in the colonized region relative to the source <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Hewitt1">[84]</xref>. This is indistinguishable from a second hypothesis where the range of this species did not span the TSB, but has subsequently expanded as a consequence of Pleistocene sea level fluctuations. A final hypothesis is that populations on both sides of the Torres Strait may have been linked <italic>via</italic> northern Papua New Guinea even when the TSB was closed. However, the coastal upwelling along the north coast of Papua New Guinea induces cooling of the sea surface temperatures associated with the Pacific warm pool (5°S–5°N, 140°E–150°E) <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Hasegawa1">[85]</xref>, which may not favour larval dispersal through this area. It is also possible that <italic>Sm. fehlmanni</italic> exhibits weak differentiation across the TSB, but our small sample sizes limited our ability to detect genetic structure. Additional analyses of this species are needed to test these alternative hypotheses.</p></sec><sec id="s4c"><title>Demography and Hypotheses</title><p>The demographic patterns inferred here provide greater understanding of the evolution and biogeography of the Sicydiinae. Clades of <italic>Si. zosterophorum</italic> revealed contrasting patterns. The southwest group had strongly negative and significant <italic>Fs</italic> values indicating non-equilibrium population dynamics. There was evidence of an excess of low frequency haplotypes as expected from a recent population expansion or secondary contact between previously allopatric populations <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-RamosOnsins1">[86]</xref>. By contrast, no statistical evidence of expansion in population size was found for the northwest group. However, the statistical support for expansion of the southwest cluster is quite weak (<italic>Fs</italic> values only slightly significant) and the sampling bias between the two clusters (more individuals in the northwest than in the southwest as well as unequal population size within southwest cluster) affects the robustness of these statistical analyses. Additional data, including a larger number of individuals and the use of additional polymorphic nuclear markers, are required to strengthen our interpretations.</p><p>The signature of dynamic expansion among populations of the two congenerics <italic>Sm. chloe</italic> and <italic>Sm. fehlmanni</italic> cannot be rejected. These two species co-occur in the rivers of the Vanuatu and New Caledonia islands, showing similar habitat preferences (<italic>i.e.</italic> from the middle to the upper courses of rivers and prefer swift, clear and high gradient streams with rocky and boulder strewn bottoms <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Watson1">[43]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Watson3">[48]</xref>); yet <italic>Sm. chloe</italic> presents a geographically restricted species range, while <italic>Sm. fehlmanni</italic> is much more widespread. One possible explanation for their different range size would be the ‘taxon cycle hypothesis’ <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Ricklefs1">[87]</xref>, which suggests that over ecological and evolutionary time scales, species progress through predictable sequential periods of range expansion and contraction that are accompanied by associated ecological shifts. This hypothesis has been postulated to characterize dynamic biogeographic histories in various island communities including lizards <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Roughgarden1">[88]</xref>, birds <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Dexter1">[89]</xref>, ants <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Wilson1">[90]</xref> and amphidromous species <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Cook1">[91]</xref>. Here, the two species of <italic>Smilosicyopus</italic> studied might be at different taxon cycle stages (<italic>i.e.</italic> different population dynamic in relation with their particular distribution range). <italic>Sm. chloe</italic> would be in an early stage (with a restricted distribution, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Ricklefs1">[87]</xref>) and experiencing a secondary expansion phase (see the negative and significant Fu’s <italic>Fs</italic>) and <italic>Sm. fehlmanni</italic> would be in an older stage (with a widespread distribution, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Ricklefs1">[87]</xref>). From a niche-based perspective <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Urban1">[92]</xref> and given their co-occurrences, it is possible that <italic>Sm</italic>. <italic>fehlmanni</italic> competitively excluded <italic>Sm. chloe</italic> toward a marginal, geographically restricted, ecological niche.</p><p>Demographic analyses for the southwest cluster of <italic>Si. zosterophorum</italic> as well as for <italic>Sm. chloe</italic> and <italic>Sm. fehlmanni</italic> populations, provide some evidence that these populations are in an expansion phase. If this is the case, two non-exclusive hypotheses could be raised, which could be tested in further studies. First, populations may be expanding following a past bottleneck caused by population depletion, a selective event, or a founder event associated with colonization of isolated islands <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Crandall2">[27]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Fu1">[65]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Yang1">[93]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Slatkin1">[94]</xref>. Such patterns are commonly found in highly dispersive organisms inhabiting spatially fragmented or ephemeral habitats. This has been observed in several widespread reef fish species, including for example <italic>Lutjanus fulvus</italic><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Gaither1">[5]</xref>, <italic>Naso unicornis</italic><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Horne1">[34]</xref>, <italic>Scarus psittacus</italic><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Winters1">[95]</xref>, and in amphidromous species living on oceanic islands <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Lord2">[24]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Kano1">[74]</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="pone.0075465-Myers2">[96]</xref>. Secondly, there could have been wholesale migration from one bioregion to another. Exploitation of vacant habitat in the recently colonized bioregion may lead to a signature of expansion. Genetic divergence between populations of <italic>Si. zosterophorum</italic> was too great to use statistical models to test this hypothesis on the current dataset.</p></sec></sec><sec id="s5"><title>Concluding Remarks</title><p>In the Central West Pacific, we have found that two widespread amphidromous Sicydiinae species with similar PLD and biology display contrasting patterns of genetic structure. Our data, in addition to similar studies in this region, suggests that a Pleistocene barrier to marine dispersal (the Torres Strait) may have shaped the genetic pattern of one of the species (<italic>Si. zosterophorum</italic>). Other factors, however, must be taken into account else both species would exhibit similar levels of genetic differentiation across the Torres Strait. These may include subtle differences in dispersal and colonization ability, and habitat requirements, which may have direct or indirect effects on genetic connectivity now and in the past. The rarity and widespread nature of the studied species on remote islands makes further research in these areas a difficult task. Additional genetic data for the two widespread species from other regions of their range, especially closer to either side of the Torres Strait (<italic>e.g.</italic>, in the Solomon Islands and south-eastern Indonesia), would nonetheless help clarify the extent to which Pleistocene events have influenced the phylogeography of amphidromous species. Our finding suggest that amphidromous species that are widely distributed may harbor cryptic evolutionary lineages. Indeed, the two widespread gobies with similar distributions have differing levels of population structure, implying that one type of conservation action will not fit all. Because Sicydiinae species are rare and susceptible to anthropogenic and environmental perturbations, strategies aiming to conserve them should consider the presence of possible cryptic evolutionary lineages and cannot rely on a widespread population distribution with high-supposed dispersal abilities to prevent stock depletion.</p></sec></body><back><ack><p>We thank the Vanuatu Environment Unit (D.
