    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Linking Human Evolutionary History to Phenotypic Variation A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Human Genetics by Arun Kumar Durvasula 2021 c Copyright by Arun Kumar Durvasula 2021 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Linking Human Evolutionary History to Phenotypic Variation by Arun Kumar Durvasula Doctor of Philosophy in Human Genetics University of California, Los Angeles, 2021 Professor Kirk Edward Lohmueller, Co-chair Professor Sriram Sankararaman, Co-chair A central question in genetics asks how genetic variation influences phenotypic variation. The distribution of genetic variation in a population is reflective of the evolutionary forces that shape and maintain genetic diversity such as mutation, natural selection, and genetic drift. In turn, this genetic variation affects molecular phenotypes like gene expression and eventually leads to variation in complex traits. In my dissertation, I develop statistical methods and apply computational approaches to understand these dynamics in human populations. In the first chapter, I describe a statistical model for detecting the presence of archaic haplotypes in modern human populations without having access to a reference archaic genome. I apply this method to the genomes of individuals from Europe and find that I can recover segments of DNA inherited from Neanderthals as a result of archaic admixture. In the second chapter, I apply this method to the genomes of individuals from several African populations and find that approximately 7% of the genomes are inherited from an archaic species. Modeling of the site frequency spectrum suggests that the presence of these haplotypes is best explained by admixture with an unknown archaic hominin species.

  • Pheromonal Mechanisms of Reproductive Isolation in Xiphophorus
    PHEROMONAL MECHANISMS OF REPRODUCTIVE ISOLATION IN XIPHOPHORUS AND THEIR HYBRIDS A Dissertation by CHRISTOPHER HOLLAND Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Gil G. Rosenthal Committee Members, Michael Smotherman Kevin W. Conway Jessica L. Yorzinski Head of Department, Thomas McKnight December 2018 Major Subject: Biology Copyright 2018 Christopher Holland ABSTRACT Pheromones play an important role in conspecific mate preference across taxa. While the mechanisms underlying the pheromonal basis of reproductive isolation are well characterized in insects, we know far less about the mechanisms underlying the production and reception of chemical signals in vertebrates. In the genus Xiphophorus, conspecific mate recognition depends on female perception of male urine-borne pheromones. I focused on interspecific differences between the sympatric X. birchmanni and X. malinche, which form natural hybrid zones as a consequence of changes in water chemistry. First, I identify the organ of pheromone production and compounds comprising chemical signals. I localized pheromone production to the testis; testis extract elicited the same conspecific preference as signals generated by displaying males. I used solid phase extraction (SPE) in combination with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)/ mass spectrometry (MS) to characterize pheromone chemical composition. Analyzing HPLC/MS readouts for pure peaks with high relative intensity identified two compounds of interest, which were identified according to their fraction pattern and retention times and then individually assayed for their effect on female behavior. The ability to directly measure the pheromones with paired responses of female conspecific mate recognition gives insight into what specific components are important to female mate choice.

In the past decade, a number of studies have suggested that hybridization has driven speciation in some animal groups. We investigate the signature of hybridization in the genome of a putative hybrid species, Xiphophorus clemenciae, through whole genome sequencing of this species and its hypothesized progenitors. Based on analysis of this data, we find that X. clemenciae is unlikely to have been derived from admixture between its proposed parental species. However, we find significant evidence for recent gene flow between Xiphophorus species. Though we detect genetic exchange in two pairs of species analyzed, the proportion of genomic regions that can be attributed to hybrid origin is small, suggesting that strong behavioral pre-mating isolation prevents frequent hybridization in Xiphophorus.

In contrast to this historical view, an increasing number of empirical studies claim to show evidence for hybrid speciation without a ploidy change. However, the importance of hybridization as a route to speciation is poorly understood, and many claims have been made with insufficient evidence that hybridization played a role in the speciation process. We propose criteria to determine the strength of evidence for homoploid hybrid speciation. Based on an evaluation of the literature using this framework, we conclude that although hybridization appears to be common, evidence for an important role of hybridization in homoploid speciation is more circumscribed.

  • Evidence of Linked Selection on the Z Chromosome of Hybridizing Hummingbirds
    Evidence of Linked Selection on the Z Chromosome of Hybridizing Hummingbirds C. J. Battey University of Washington Department of Biology Current address: University of Oregon Institute of Ecology and Evolution [email protected] ::::November 2019 :::: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/evo.13888 1 1 Abstract Levels of genetic differentiation vary widely along the genomes of recently diverged species. What processes cause this variation? Here I analyze geographic popula- tion structure and genome-wide patterns of variation in the Rufous, Allen’s, and Calliope Hummingbirds (Selasphorus rufus/sasin/calliope) and assess evidence that linked selection on the Z chromosome drives patterns of genetic differentiation in a pair of hybridizing species. Demographic models, introgression tests, and genotype clustering analyses support a reticulate evolutionary history consistent with diver- gence during the late Pleistocene followed by gene flow across migrant Rufous and Allen’s Hummingbirds during the Holocene. Relative genetic differentiation (Fst) is elevated and within-population diversity (π) depressed on the Z chromosome in all interspecific comparisons. The ratio of Z to autosomal within-population diversity is much lower than that expected from population size effects alone, and Tajima’s D is depressed on the Z chromosome in S. rufus and S. calliope. These results suggest that conserved structural features of the genome play a prominent role in shaping genetic differentiation through the early stages of speciation in northern Selaspho- rus hummingbirds, and that the Z chromosome is a likely site of genes underlying behavioral and morphological variation in the group. 2 2 Introduction Populations differentiate over time through a combination of mutation, drift, and selection, but the relative importance of these factors in shaping modern biodiversity is contentious.
