Pattern of Adaptive Divergence in Zingiber kawagoii Hayata (Zingiberaceae) along a Narrow Latitudinal Range.

ABSTRACT: Ecological and evolutionary processes linking adaptation to environment are related to species' range shifts. In this study, we employed amplified-fragment-length-polymorphism-based genome scan methods to identify candidate loci among Zingiber kawagoii populations inhabiting varying environments distributed at low to middle elevations (143-1488 m) in a narrow latitudinal range (between 21.90 and 25.30° N). Here, we show evidence of selection driving the divergence of Z. kawagoii. Twenty-six F_ST outliers were detected, which were significantly correlated with various environmental variables. The allele frequencies of nine F_ST outliers were either positively or negatively correlated with the population mean F_ST. Using severa
