For instance, at the end of the Quaternary glaciations in Europe, secondary contact occurred during the northward expansion of the populations which had found refugia in the southern peninsulas. With the advent of multi-locus markers, secondary contact can be investigated using various molecular signatures including gradients of allele frequency, admixture clines, and local increase of genetic differentiation. We use coalescent simulations to investigate if molecular data provide enough information to distinguish between secondary contact following range expansion and an alternative evolutionary scenario consisting of a barrier to gene flow in an isolation-by-distance model. We find that an excess of linkage disequilibrium and of genetic diversity at the suture zone is a unique signature of secondary contact. We also find that the directionality index ψ, which was proposed to study range expansion, is informative to distinguish between the two hypotheses. However, although evidence for secondary contact is usually conveyed by statistics related to admixture coefficients, we find that they can be confounded by isolation-by-distance. We recommend to account for the spatial repartition of individuals when investigating secondary contact in order to better reflect the complex spatio-temporal evolution of populations and species."}],"tmp":{"legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","image":"/images/cc_by.png","short":"CC BY (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)"},"type":"journal_article","publist_id":"8022","publisher":"PeerJ","file":[{"file_id":"5692","access_level":"open_access","date_created":"2018-12-17T10:46:06Z","file_size":1328344,"date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:46:06Z","checksum":"3334886c4b39678db4c4b74299ca14ba","creator":"dernst","relation":"main_file","file_name":"2018_PeerJ_Bertl.pdf","content_type":"application/pdf"}],"article_number":"e5325","year":"2018","_id":"33","quality_controlled":"1","doi":"10.7717/peerj.5325","has_accepted_license":"1","date_updated":"2023-10-17T12:24:43Z","external_id":{"pmid":["30294507"],"isi":["000447204400001"]},"author":[{"full_name":"Bertl, Johanna","last_name":"Bertl","first_name":"Johanna"},{"last_name":"Ringbauer","id":"417FCFF4-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-4884-9682","first_name":"Harald","full_name":"Ringbauer, Harald"},{"full_name":"Blum, Michaël","last_name":"Blum","first_name":"Michaël"}],"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","acknowledgement":"Johanna Bertl was supported by the Vienna Graduate School of Population Genetics (Austrian Science Fund (FWF): W1225-B20) and worked on this project while employed at the Department of Statistics and Operations Research, University of Vienna, Austria.
