Evaluating Population Genetic Structure and Demographic History of Quercus spinosa (Fagaceae) Based on Specific Length Amplified Fragment Sequencing.

ABSTRACT: Effectively identifying the genetic structure and related factors of a species can facilitate understanding the evolutionary history of the species. Phylogeographic patterns and genetic data are essential in investigating the species historical processes and diversification that response to environmental, climatic and geological influences. In this study, Specific Length Amplified Fragment Sequencing (SLAF-seq) data and ecological niche models (ENMs) are combined to identify the genetic structure and demographic modeling of Quercus spinosa, and evaluate the impacts of historical range shifts, climatic variation, and landscape factors on this species. The population topology and genetic divergence of the Cenozoic were inferred by a site frequency spectrum based composite-likelihood a
