Contrasting phylogeographic patterns and demographic history in closely related species of Daphnia longispina group (Crustacea: Cladocera) with focus on North-Eastern Eurasia

Species with large geographic distributions present a challenge for phylogeographic studies due to the logistic difficulties of obtaining adequate samples. Daphnia O.F. Müller (Anomopoda: Daphniidae) is a model genus for evolutionary biology and ecology, but many regions such as the remote areas of Siberia, remain poorly studied. Here we examined genetic polymorphism in the ribosomal 12S and the protein-coding ND2 mitochondrial genes of three closely related taxa of the Daphnia (Daphnia) longispina complex, namely D. galeata Sars, D. longispina O.F. Müller and D. dentifera Forbes. We estimated the phylogenetic relationships among these taxa based on a concatenated alignment of these two genes. Using sequences from the present study and those available in GenBank, we investigated the geographic distributions of the mitochondrial haplotypes of these species and proposed an evolutionary scenario for each taxon. Network structures, haplotype distribution patterns, and FST values indicated significant differences in the evolutionary history of the examined species. Our analysis of D. galeata populations confirmed its recent and fast expansion, without a previous phase of a strong population disconnection. In contrast, the high haplotype diversity in D. dentifera and D. longispina could be explained by the survival of different phylogroups in several glacial refugia located in different geographic regions. For all studied species, maximum haplotype diversity was recorded in the remote regions of Siberia–lakes of the Yenisei River and Transbaikalia. Our study is an important step in our understanding of the evolutionary history of the Daphnia longispina group and provides further evidence of the biogeographic significance of Siberia for freshwater taxa.


Introduction
Water fleas (Crustacea: Cladocera) are intensively studied model organisms for molecular and evolutionary biologists. The most significant progress in cladoceran taxonomy was achieved at the end of the 20th-beginning of the 21st century, when several families of the orders Anomopoda Sars and Ctenopoda Sars were globally revised based on morphological characters [1][2][3][4][5], while many other groups are waiting for taxonomic revision.
Daphnia O.F. Müller (Anomopoda: Daphniidae) is the most species rich genus among the cladocerans [26,27] and is used as a general model for evolutionary biology [28,29]. At the same time, it is a well-known example of a taxon with very confused taxonomy [26]. Especially confused is the D. longispina species group, containing many widely distributed taxa dominating in the plankton of large and small lakes [11,30]. The morphology of many daphniids is still described insufficiently, if not completely inadequately [27]. Recently the taxonomic status of some species of the longispina-group was elucidated by application of molecular methods, which allowed a reconstruction of phylogenetic relationships between different taxa and populations and even describe evolutionary processes within them [11,[31][32][33][34]. Hybridization between several mitochondrial lineages also was demonstrated [35][36][37][38][39] making such efforts much more complicated. A mito-nuclear discordance is also known in this group [40].
A very important source of information on the evolutionary history of the daphniids, as well as other freshwater organisms, is phylogeography [41], a genetic variant of historical biogeography [42]. This approach has been applied to several daphniid groups since the pioneering publications in late 1990's [13]. Different evolutionary scenarios were revealed for different daphniid taxa, and several speciation models were proposed for cladocerans. It was shown that a rapid recent expansion is characteristic of both Daphnia pulex and D. galeata, resulting in a situation in which shared haplotypes of these taxa are present in distant regions [38,43,44]. A large number of the haplotypes in D. dentifera and D. longispina confirmed that most antique lineages of these taxa survived in some refugia during the periods of maximum glaciation [38,44,45]. Phylogeographic investigations of Daphnia were mainly concentrated on well-accessed regions: North America [13,46] and Europe [10,16,47]. Only during the last decade, were Eastern Palearctic regions as Japan, the Far East of Russia [38,48,49] and China [34,44,50] included in such studies.
Most recent studies of the phylogeography and evolutionary history of Daphnia (as well as other cladocerans) have a sampling bias-a huge region-Siberia-is not studied in the majority of these works. For example, such taxa as D. umbra and D. dentifera were surprisingly detected in some remote lakes of Eastern Siberia, and other mitochondrial lineages are also revealed there [51][52][53]. Such findings of earlier undetected species allow us to hypothesize that divergent lineages of the D. longispina complex in Siberia could potentially represent separate biological species, and their evolutionary history could be different from that in others regions, e.g. Europe, North America and Japan. Such differences could be related to differences in geological and climatic events during the last glacial maximum and previous Pleistocene glacial cycles [48,54,55,56]. However, most populations of Daphnia from remote regions of Siberia remain untouched by molecular geneticists, although it was shown for D. umbra that the Siberian populations exhibited clear mitochondrial divergence from the Arctic populations [21]. Accordingly, previous global phylogeographic conclusions on Daphnia species are vulnerable to criticism. Only recently have global trans-Palearctic phylogeographic studies with adequate coverage of Siberia been conducted for other cladoceran groups: Chydorus [14,18], Moina and Daphnia magna [17,57].
The aim of this study is to investigate the geographic distribution of the mitochondrial haplotypes of three closely related species of the Daphnia (Daphnia) longispina complex inhabiting different water bodies of Siberia: D. galeata Sars, D. longispina O.F. Müller and D. dentifera Forbes. We propose an evolutionary scenario for each taxon and analyze differences between these three taxa. To do this, we studied the genetic polymorphism of ribosomal 12S and protein-coding ND2 mitochondrial genes and reconstructed phylogenetic relationships between these taxa based on concatenated sequences of the two genes.

Ethics statement
The study did not involve any endangered or protected species. Field collection in Russia was carried out by our team or by colleagues as part of a governmental project "Ecology and biodiversity of aquatic ecosystems and invasions of alien species" (No 0109-2014-0008 for 2015-2017) and the Federal Fundamental Scientific Research Program for 2013-2020 No VI.51.1.9. (AAAA-A16-116121410119-4), with governmental permission to collect samples from public property. Sampling in the natural reserves of Russia (Azas Federal Natural Reserve; Baikalo-Lenskiy Reserve and Pribaikalskiy National Park) was conducted with special permissions of their Administration, which is also thanked for assistance during the sampling. A part of samples was taken at the Field Stations of the Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals, and we thank Dr A.K. Yurlov, the Director of Chany Field Station, and Dr I.I. Chupin, the Director of Teletskoe Lake Field Station, for their help. Mongolian samples were collected by the Joint Russian-Mongolian Complex Biological Expedition with permission of the Ministry of Nature, Environment and Tourism of Mongolia.

Sampling
Original samples were collected by the Juday-type (125 μm mesh size) and Apstein-type (250 μm mesh size) plankton nets during the summer seasons of 2004−2013 from 35 water bodies in the European part of Russia (Glubokoe Lake, Rybinsk Reservoir, the Couronian Lagoon), the southern part of Siberia (the Chany and Baikal lake basins, Novosibirsk Reservoir, Teletskoye Lake, lakes of the Todzha Depression and Transbaikalia), the Russian Far East and also in a single lake in Austria (Hallstättersee) and a single lake in Mongolia (Zhaakhan) (Fig 1, S1 Table).
Immediately after collecting, the samples were fixed in 96% ethanol and then stored in the freezer at -20˚C. Prior to DNA extraction each specimen was photographed in lateral view using an AxioScan microscope (Carl Zeiss, Germany, under 10× and 50×) for documentation of its body and head shape. Each specimen was identified to species level according to existing keys [58][59][60]. Identification of D. galeata based on morphological characters in most cases was not difficult, while the status of some specimens provisionally placed to D. longispina s. str., D. hyalina and D. dentifera caused doubts, and finally such specimens were identified based on genetic data only.
D. hyalina is a taxon with unresolved taxonomic status, it is considered either as a lacustrine morphotype of D. longispina [11], or a separate species [30,60]. In this study, we mixed all D.

DNA extraction and sequencing
Total DNA was extracted from single ethanol-preserved Daphnia individuals with a 5% suspension of Chelex 100 resin (Bio-Rad, USA). The 20 μl PCR reaction consisted of 2-5 μl of genomic DNA (10-20 ng per 100 μl of the DNA homogenate), 0.5 μM dNTPs, 2 μl 10× PCR buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.3, 50 mM KCl), 2.5 mM MgCl 2 , 0.5 μM of each primer, 1 unit of Thermus aquaticus DNA polymerase (Taq-pol) and double-distilled H 2 O. The 12S rRNA (12S) gene was amplified according to the protocol described in Colbourne & Hebert [9], and ND2 gene according to the protocol of Ishida et al. [49]. The PCR products were separated on 1% agarose (Low EEO Standart agarose, BIOZYM, Russia) in the presence of ethidium bromide and photographed under UV light. The amplified products were purified using a kit from BIOSILICA (Novosibirsk, Russia) and both strands were sequenced on an ABI 3130xl automated capillary sequencer (Applied Biosystems) with the ABI Prism BigDye Terminator Cycle Sequencing Ready Reaction Kit 3.1 at the SB RAS Genomics Core Facility (Novosibirsk, Russia, http://sequest.niboch.nsc.ru). The DNA sequences were automatically aligned using the ClustalW algorithm [61].
82 sequences of 508-511 bp for D. galeata, 528-529 bp for D. longispina/D. hyalina and 525-528 bp for D. dentifera of the 12S gene and 99 sequences of 718 bp of the ND2 gene were newly obtained and deposited into the GenBank database (for accession numbers see S1 Table). The earlier obtained sequences [51,52,62] and orthological sequences for the D. galeata, D. longispina and D. dentifera species from the GenBank database [6,10,11,38,46,51,52,62] were also included into the genetic analyses. In total, 277 nucleotide sequences for the 12S gene and 132 nucleotide sequences for the ND2 gene were analyzed.

Phylogenetic analyses
For reconstruction of the phylogenetic relationships between the species of the D. longispina complex only original 12S and ND2 sequences were used. The 12S rDNA sequences were aligned using PRANKSTER software which is a graphical front-end to the multiple sequence alignment program PRANK [63,64]. Sequences of ND2 gene were aligned manually and checked for unexpected stop codons using BioEdit v.7.0 [65]. All gaps and poorly aligned positions were detected and removed in the 12S alignment using the Gblocks program (online version 0.91b; [66]) with smaller final blocks allowed.
Unique haplotypes were selected from concatenated dataset (ND2 and 12S) for downstream phylogenetic analysis with maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI). We determined the best fit models of nucleotide substitution and optimal partitioning scheme (by marker and by codon position for ND2) in concatenated dataset using PartitionFinder v.1.1.1 [67] under Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). ML search was performed using RAxML v.8.2.4 [68] with GTR+G model and independent parameter estimation for the following three subsets within the partition (BIC = 12 383.43; lnL = -5 753.68): ND2 codon position 2; ND2 codon position 3; ND2 codon position 1 + 12S rDNA. The tree support was accessed with the rapid-bootstrapping algorithm using 1000 non-parametric bootstrap replicates. Bayesian analysis was performed with MrBayes v.3.2.1 [69] under the following partition (BIC = 12 361.02; lnL = -5 749.66): 12S rDNA (HKY+G); ND2 codon position 1 (K80+G); ND2 codon position 2 (GTR+G); ND2 codon position 3 (GTR). Two simultaneous runs with four Markov chains each were run for 1 × 10 6 generations and sampled every 500 generations. The first 25% of generations were discarded as burn-in. Convergence of runs was assessed by examination of the average standard deviation of split frequencies and the potential scale reduction factor. In addition, stationarity was confirmed by examining posterior probability, log likelihood, and all model parameters by the effective sample sizes (ESSs) in the program Tracer v.1.6 [70]. The phylogenetic trees resulting in ML and BI analyses were visualised and edited using FigTree v.1.4 [71] and Dendroscope v.3.4.4 [72]. The sequences of D. cristata were used for outgroup rooting of the phylogenetic tree.

Polymorphism and divergence of the mitochondrial DNA
The mitochondrial DNA polymorphism at the species level for D. dentifera, D. galeata and D. longispina was estimated separately for 12S and ND2 genes. The following parameters were calculated: number of polymorphic sites (segregating, S), number of haplotypes (h), haplotype diversity with standard deviation (H d ), and nucleotide diversity with standard deviation (π). The calculations were performed with DnaSP v.5.10 [73]. Divergence and gene flow between the geographical Daphnia populations was estimated using the index F ST based on the 12S sequences in Arlequin v.3.5.1 [74]. In total from four to eight geographical Daphnia populations were allocated in this analysis.

Haplotype distribution and demographic history
We detected signatures of demographic history for the Siberian D. galeata and D. longispina populations using several approaches, namely: indexes of polymorphism sequences, Tajima's D and Fu's F S neutrality tests, the structure of median-joining networks and mismatch distributions.
The haplotype networks were constructed by the median-joining method (MJ) [75] using Network v.4.5 (available on www.fluxus-engineering.com) based on the 12S sequences for the D. dentifera, D. galeata and D. longispina species, and based on the ND2 sequences for D. galeata only.
The neutrality tests of Fu's F S [76] and Tajima's D [77] also were calculated for species and geographical clades with DnaSP v.5.10. The significance of these tests was proved using the coalescent simulation with 10 000 permutations.
Additionally, to investigate the demographic history of the Siberian populations of D. galeata and D. longispina, the mismatch distribution (MMD) was used [78,79] using Arlequin v.3.5.1. In general, multi-modal MMD testifies demographic equilibrium of studied population, and uni-modal suggests recent demographic expansion [80,81], or range expansions with a high migration activity between neighbor local populations [78,79].
The demographic parameter Tau (τ) was used to estimate a time since expansion (t) with the equation τ = 2ut, where u = M T μ, M T the number of nucleotides under study, and μ the mutation rate per generation [80]. The bootstrap approach (1000 replications) was used to test the observed data with the simulated data under the models of pure demographic expansion and spatial expansion by comparing the sum of squared deviations (SSD) between the observed (SSD obs ) and simulated (SSD sim ) data. The Harpending's raggedness index (r) was used to test for a deviation from unimodality of the mismatch distribution. The significance of the estimated parameters was also obtained from the corresponding P values. The 95%-confidence intervals around τ, M and Theta were calculated with the bootstrap approach (1000 replications). The divergence rate of arthropod's mtDNA was assumed as 2% per million years [14,15,82,83] and 3 generations per years (as it was estimated for the alpine D. longispina populations, [45]). To avoid common errors in the results of mismatch distribution we follow the algorithm reported by Schenekar & Weiss [84]. The mismatch distribution for D. galeata was calculated on the 12S and ND2 genes separately.

Phylogeny based on 12S+ND2 sequences
Our phylogenetic reconstruction based on the 12S+ND2 sequences reveals four major clades well-corresponded to the following species: D. galeata, D. longispina, D. dentifera, D. cf. longispina (plus the fifth clade is corresponded to D. cristata, an outgroup in our analysis) (Fig 2). All major clades are well-supported statistically.
Within D. galeata and D. longispina some divergent haplotypes form also well-recognized local geographical haplogroups with a high support (88-99%). Several such clades of D. galeata are revealed in Siberia, namely: the Kadysh, Dodot and Noyon-Khol lakes of the Todzha Depression in the Bolshoy Yenisei River basin (clades S1 and S2), Karakul Lake in the Bolshoy Phylogeography of closely related Daphnia in North-Eastern Eurasia Abakan River basin (clade S3), Dorong Lake in Transbaikalia (T1). A single D. galeata haplotype from a pond near Blagoveshchensk in the Far East of Russia (Tmb1) contains in the clade S2. A single clade is mixed and consists of haplotypes from different geographical areas (clade E1, Fig 2).
All sequences of D. longispina are separated into two large divergent mitochondrial clades (although the latter have no significant statistic support) (Fig 2): (1) an exclusively Siberian clade A, and (2) a clade B widely distributed through whole territory of the Palearctic. Siberian clade A is represented by populations of D. longispina from distant Siberian water bodies: the Chany Lake basin (ZdL, Brb2-L, KgL), Teletskoye Lake in the Ob River basin (TlL) and Dodot Lake in the Yenisei River basin (DdL). Clade B is formed by the D. longispina haplotypes from the water bodies of the Chany Lake basin. The D. cf. hyalina haplotypes from European populations (Russia, GlH and Austria, HlsH) are close related to the D. longispina haplotypes of clade B.
All Siberian sequences of D. dentifera from two lakes of the Baikal basin are represented by a single haplotype (SK). D. longispina is clustered with D. dentifera, and then this group forms a clade with D. galeata. An undescribed longispina-like taxon (marked here as D. cf. longispina) is revealed in a single temporary pond in the Chany Lake basin, it forms a separate cluster, although having no good branch support.

Mitochondrial DNA polymorphism
The level of genetic polymorphism of two mitochondrial genes is comparable in all studied species (Table 1), although both H d and π values are somewhat higher in D. dentifera and D. longispina than in D. galeata. In the latter case, a level of haplotype (H d ) and nucleotide (π) diversity is higher for the fragment of the protein-coding gene ND2 as compared to 12S. The Siberian clade A of D. longispina demonstrates very low nucleotide diversity in both genes. This clade also has a small number of haplotypes and polymorphic sites as compared to the Siberian clade B.
Geographical distribution of haplotypes D. galeata. The 12S based network of D. galeata haplotypes has a very characteristic starlike pattern. Its center is occupied by a single ancestral haplotype H5 (Fig 3I) which occurs in almost all regions of the Palearctic (including geographically distant regions): Western and Eastern Europe, Eastern Siberia, Transbaikalia, the Far East of Russia, Japan, China; it is also present in North America. Unique haplotypes of D. galeata are recorded in all studied regions; most divergent haplotypes are present in the water bodies of Japan, China and North America (H1, H6, H13, H18, H20, and H43), Siberia (H24, H27-H29, H31-H38, H46), some haplotypes are shared between Siberia and the Far East (H25, H30) and Siberia and Japan-China (H10). Distribution pattern of ND2 haplotypes in D. galeata is remarkably different from that for 12S haplotypes, and network structure is much more reticulated and complicated (Fig 3II). Unique haplotypes are detected in each studied geographic region. Remarkably, no ND2 haplotypes of D. galeata sharing between European Russia and Western Europe are found. Strongly divergent ND2 haplotypes are detected in Siberia (H10, H19, H26, H28-H30, H49) and Eastern Europe (= European Russia) (H42). Maximum frequency is detected for the haplotype H25 from Siberia and Transbaikalia, this haplotype is closely related to those distributed in Japan, European Russia and Western Europe. Several star-like patterns are revealed within afore described network, their central haplotypes are detected in Siberia and Transbaikalia (H25), Siberia and Europe (H27), Siberia, Western Europe and North America (H3). Two central haplotypes are regional: H7 (Western Europe) and H17 (North America); several North American haplotypes (H1, H11-H17) are diverged from the latter forming a special regional cluster with a Far Eastern haplotype H37 as a sister clade.
Two well-recognized clades of Siberian populations, corresponding to the Siberian clade A and Siberian clade B from the 12S+ND2 tree are detected. The clade A with the central haplotype H30 is formed by populations from the Yenisei River basin and the Chany Lake basin (Eastern and Western Siberia). The haplotypes of the Siberian clade B are connected to the haplotypes from Western Europe through the central haplotype H36 (detected in Western Siberia only). Central haplotypes of two Siberian clades are interconnected each other through a Western European haplotype H4 and seven mutations. There is a third exclusively Siberian group, represented by a single haplotype H34, as it was noted above, it is strongly divergent and does not belong to any large clade.
D. dentifera. Two main clades of the 12S haplotypes are revealed (Fig 4II). The first clade unites the haplotypes from North America and Eastern Eurasia (mainly Japan), and a Siberian-Mongolian cluster (H25-H27) is a part of the second clade. Central haplotype of a single well-recognized star-like shape (H1) occurs in Japan and North America, and the Siberian-Mongolian cluster is connected with the former through a hypothesized haplotype m1. The second, exclusively Chinese, clade unites most divergent haplotypes H19-H24.

Demographic history
A major portion of the daphniid populations are characterized by negative values of Fu's F S and Tajima's D for both studied mitochondrial genes (   (Table 4); and Baikalian D. dentifera populations with all other populations (> 0.39, Table 5).
Mismatch distribution graphs are represented here only for the Siberian D. galeata and D. longispina populations. The MMD values computed for the Siberian D. galeata populations are different for two genes. Unimodal mismatch distribution for the 12S gene is well-correlated with the sudden expansion model (SSD obs = 0.000036, Table 6; Fig 5A and 5B). In contrast, bimodal mismatch distribution for ND2 gene is better correlated with the spatial expansion model (SSD obs = 0.00667, Fig 5C and 5D).
The mismatch distribution is bimodal for the 12S sequences of all Siberian D. longispina populations (Fig 6A and 6B) what corresponds well to the spatial expansion model (SSD obs = 0.05036). But MMD are different among two main clades: it is multimodal for the clade B ( Fig   Fig 4. Median-joining 12S haplotype networks for Daphnia longispina (I) and Daphnia dentifera (II). The legend corresponds to that in Fig 3. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0207347.g004 Phylogeography of closely related Daphnia in North-Eastern Eurasia 6C and 6D), but unimodal for the clade A ( Fig 6E). Note that for clade A parameters of the models of demographic and spatial expanses are almost identical (Table 6). Therefore, two models could be used to explain the Siberian clade A expansion (SSD obs = 0.01335), but the model of spatial expansion is apparently more acceptable for the Siberian clade B (SSD obs = 0.01687).

Notes on species distribution and co-occurrence
We confirm that D. galeata is widely distributed in water bodies of different types through all the range of North Palearctic, from Western Europe and European Russia through Western, Eastern Siberia and Transbaikalia to the Far East of Russia. In a few water bodies it co-occurs with D. cristata, D. cucullata (not described here) and D. longispina. We did not detect any cases of its co-occurrence with D. dentifera, although these two taxa co-exist in some water bodies in Japan and North America [38,85]. In China D. galeata, D. longispina and D. dentifera also never co-occur [44,50]. But it must be taken into consideration that D. dentifera was found here only in two mountain water bodies of Eastern Siberia, and a detailed study of this region could give a new information on the D. dentifera distribution and the cases of co-occurrence of this species with other taxa. In contrast to D. galeata, we did not find any populations of D. longispina in Transbaikalia and the Far East of Russia; presumably the eastern border of this species distribution is the Yenisei River basin (Fig 1B), while all populations located east of this zone belong to D. dentifera. Three haplotypes of the former from the Baikal Lake basin and Mongolia are related to those from Japan and even North America. Such similarity with North American haplotypes was previously detected for those from Japan and China [38,44]. We need to underline that all our findings of D. dentifera are from mountain lakes of the Baikal Lake basin. We can expect that further investigations will reveal other populations of D. dentifera in such mountain regions. Previously Ishida & Taylor [48] revealed three clades of "D. rosea" (exactly corresponding to D. longispina s. lat.) across the Northern Eurasian range: European, Siberian and Japanese-American. If two first clades correspond to D. longispina s. str., the last one is D. dentifera. Ishida & Taylor [48] found that Siberian D. longispina are widely distributed in Siberia, east up to the Baikal Lake basin based on the ND2 gene determination. Therefore, the whole Yenisei River basin, including Baikal Lake connected to the Yenisei River through the Angara River, is a transitory zone between D. dentifera (penetrating west up to 96˚E) and D. longispina s. str. (penetrating east up to 104˚E). According to our finding we believe that D. longispina and D. dentifera are vicarious species, although we did not study nuclear genes here, and can not detect possible hybrids in this zone, nor do we discuss the introgression pattern between D. dentifera and D. galeata [38,48]. Such a transitory zone between western and eastern Palearctic phylogroups and taxa is previously known for all of the cladocerans studied for trans-Eurasian phylogeography [17,18,57].

12S + ND2 phylogeny
Phylogeny of the D. longispina complex, reconstructed here based on the sequences of the 12S and ND2 genes, in general agrees with previously published phylogenies [11,12] and recent ideas on the group taxonomy [60]. Although a general topology of the trees based on 12S + ND2 and 12S + 16S genes (see [52,53,86] for the latter) is basically similar, we need to take into consideration a few differences between them.
In this study, D. galeata, D. longispina and D. dentifera form a moderately supported clade, which confirms their close relationships and monophyletic origin. But there are several divergent clades within the cluster corresponding to each taxon studied here. Some phylogroups of Phylogeography of closely related Daphnia in North-Eastern Eurasia D. galeata and D. longispina are recorded in the remote regions of Siberia and the Far East only, which is, most probably, a sign of their long-term isolation. The presence of a high number of divergent haplotypes could be also a sign of recent speciation processes and cryptic diversity within this group. The latter is detected for the cladocerans of different families and genera using genetic methods [16][17][18] and requires further morphological studies with aim to find the morphological differences between the taxa within such groups.
We did not reveal distinct internal clusters within D. longispina, in contrast to previous ND2 and 16S phylogenetic reconstruction [48,53] (our dataset on D. dentifera is too small for such an analysis). The 12S and ND2 haplotypes of D. hyalina do not form a distinct cluster, and could be regarded as a confirmation of the status of the latter as an ecological lake morph of D. longispina (following Petrusek et al. [11]). But the haplotypes from Hallstättersee Lake form a separate cluster adjoined to the Siberian clade B of D. longispina (albeit with a lack of statistical support). The latter could be regarded as an evidence for a species status of D. hyalina [30,58,60].
Finally, 12S + ND2 phylogeny confirms a basal position of undescribed taxon D. cf. longispina from the Chany Lake basin (the Ob River basin, Western Siberia) and its strong difference from D. longispina s. str., similarly to the data from other genes [52,53]. Note that undescribed mitochondrial lineages from the D. longispina complex are recently revealed in other regions of Northern Eurasia [16]. To date, both endemic mitochondrial phylogroups and even endemic taxa are revealed in Eastern Siberia based on molecular methods in different cladoceran groups [17,57], similarly to previously found endemics of the Far East [15,28,38]. Phylogeography of closely related Daphnia in North-Eastern Eurasia

Phylogeography and demographic history
Our data on the polymorphism of the mitochondrial genes in European and Siberian populations of D. galeata, D. longispina and D. dentifera in general agree with those previously obtained for populations from other regions of Europe, Asia and North America [11,36,38,44,[48][49][50]. Higher values of H d and lower values of π in D. galeata and Siberian D. longispina clade A, that assumes a rapid population growth from an ancestral population with a low effective size, should be sufficient to restore the haplotype diversity through mutations, but insufficient for accumulation of significant differences in sequences [41]. But the pooled Siberian D. longispina populations, clade B of D. longispina and D. dentifera have a higher haplotype and nucleotide diversity of both mitochondrial genes in comparison with D. galeata. It could be a sign of a high stability and high effective size of their populations, or mixing of historically heterogeneous populations and distinct mitochondrial lineages presumably having different origin and evolutionary history [41]. We suppose that the second scenario is more realistic, because so many mitochondrial lineages are found in D. longispina and D. dentifera based on the 12S [11,16,36,44,51,52] and 16S [53] sequences. Nevertheless, recently it has been shown, that such divergent mitochondrial lineages of the D. longispina complex can lack divergence of nuclear markers [40].
One of important global result of this study is related to the distribution of widespread and common 12S haplotype of D. galeata in North Eurasia (i.e. in all studied Siberian regions). Such results based on more regional datasets [44,87,88] were vulnerable for criticism. This pattern of the haplotype distribution supports a hypothesis on a recent and fast expansion for most Siberian and Transbaikalian D. galeata populations. Together with the central 12S haplotype (H5), the regions of Siberia, Russian Far East, Japan, China and Western Europe shared several peripheral haplotypes. But no haplotypes were shared between Siberia, Japan and North America; in addition, only a single haplotype from Siberia is closely adjacent to the haplotypes from these regions (H36, Fig 3I). Our data confirm conclusions on a wide distribution of some 12S haplotypes of D. galeata in the Palearctic made by previous authors [38,44,86]. The same remarkable patterns in the 16S haplotype distribution were also revealed previously [53]. Keeping into consideration (1) a very peculiar star-shaped structure of the 12S haplotype network, (2) a unimodal mismatch distribution in Siberian populations based on the 12S gene and (3) results of the Tajima's D and Fu's F S neutrality tests we can confirm a recent expansion of D. galeata population through all the North Palearctic range. Note that our data on the 12S polymorphism mainly corresponds to the "clade B" separated by Ishida & Taylor [49] based on the nuclear HSP gene (= "Assorted D. galeata" in their ND2 tree), while their clade A ("New World D. galeata") is represented by a single branch (haplotypes H14 and H15) due to a rarity of 12S sequences from North America.
In contrast, the ND2 network has a more complicated structure with several less expressed star-shaped structures: the haplotypes form a network with five clades with their central haplotypes connected through hypothesized haplotypes m3-m5. The structure of ND2 network and the multi-modal mismatch distribution for the Siberian D. galeata populations testify to a demographic equilibrium of them [78,80,89], at least in Siberia. Such discordance between two mitochondrial genes could be explained by different level of polymorphism of these two mitochondrial genes [41,90,91]. As it was earlier shown, mitochondrial genes in Daphnia evolve with different rates, and base-substitution mutation rates in Daphnia are higher then in most arthropods [12,45,92]. The different transition/transversion ratio, the rate of synonymous/nonsynonymous substitution, the number of polymorphic sites and total mtDNA sequence length, sample size, effective population size, etc. could be regarded as a reason of such discordance [93][94][95]. The 12S gene is a more conserved region than the protein-encoding ND2 gene. This is evidenced by a lower level of nucleotide and haplotype diversity (Table 1). Therefore, the patterns of deeper divergence between the studied populations of D. galeata would be more prevalent for the ND2 gene.
The structure of the 12S haplotype networks of D. longispina, the neutrality tests and mismatch distribution demonstrate a phylogeographic scenario in Siberia quite different from that in D. galeata. Positive (although not well-supported statistically) values of the Tajima's D for both 12S and ND2 genes and Fu's F S for ND2 gene for all Siberian populations and clades of D. longispina suggest a recent bottleneck effect and/or influence of the overdominance selection. Negative values of these tests (mainly for the 12S gene) allow to reveal a tendency to numerous mutations with a low probability, what could be a sign of a recent population expansion and/or influence of negative (purifying) selecting. The unimodal mismatch distribution for clade A and multi-modal distribution for clade B testify their different evolution history. Hence, the star-like shape of the 12S haplotype network together with values of the neutrality test and unimodal MMD more likely suggest a recent demographic expansion for clade A of D. longispina. In contrast, clade B exhibits different demographic history and support the demographic equilibrium of its populations. In general, the demographic history of the D. dentifera populations in Siberia is similar to that in D. longispina.
Using There are numerous corroborations for pronounced errors of the estimations of divergence time for different mitochondrial lineages and species, especially keeping in mind the fact that there is no possibility to calibrate the molecular clocks for particular studies [18,96,97]. Here we tried to speculate on the demographic history of the Siberian D. galeata and D. longispina populations taking into account the geological events in this region during the Pleistocene.
During the coldest phases of Pleistocene, the northern flows of the large Siberian rivers was interrupted by a single continental glacier resulting in a considerable increase in the water level in the middle reaches, and appearance of huge proglacial (ice-dammed) lakes in the north [18,54,56,98]. Distribution of the mountain glaciers in more southern regions of Central and East Siberia was correlated with the directions of the main airstreams in winter: the most extensive ice sheet was existed in the Altai-Sayan mountain area, it was gradually decreased in thickness from west to east. At that time such large lakes as Teletskoye (as well Tchuyskoye and Uymonskoye) were served as the refugia of freshwater fauna in Altai Mountains [56,99]. Main refugia in the Yenisei River basin were situated in the Todzha and Darkhat Depressions having lakes with size significantly changing during Pleistocene glacial cycles [100]. These lakes have appeared repeatedly during the periods of a deglaciation and a high water level. Most recently such a lake in the Todzha Depression was formed about 10000-12000 years ago.
Southern Siberian lakes could be colonized by the daphniids already after the last deglaciation, i.e. around 10-15 000 yes ago, but such scenario seems to be less possible, i.e. keeping in mind the molecular clock estimations above. We think that the daphniids had a chance to survive in some refugia and such evolutionary lineages subsequently had an advantage as compared with other lineages as it is suggested by the "monopolization hypothesis" [101].
Detection of shared haplotypes in all Siberian clades is related with the high ability of the cladocerans to produce resting stages capable of a long-distance passive dispersion [102][103][104].
It is likely that the haplotypes of D. longispina, which at present compose the core of clade A, are the remains of the ancient fauna which were survived in some refugia during the glacial cycles. Taking into account the great age of the Cladocera [105], we could assume that several species of the D. longispina complex were widespread across whole the territory of Eurasia in pre-Pleistocene epochs. During the Pleistocene glacial cycles, their distribution ranges were repeatedly pulsed in size, sometimes they were restricted to small refugia. Similar scenarios could be also traced in the local whitefish populations in the water bodies of the Ob and Yenisei river basins [106]. Similar patterns of a postglacial expansion dating to the late Pleistocene were revealed for Polyphemus [15] and North American and Japanese D. galeata populations [48,49]. The same was shown for the D. longispina populations in high altitudes Pyrenees and Tatras, which were also characterized by a restricted gene flow between populations and a strong founder effect [45,107].

Conclusions
Our results suggest that the evolution of closely related species in the same wide range (i.e. across whole North Eurasia) could follow different scenarios. In general, the described network structures, haplotype distribution patterns in different species, together with different F ST values assumes significant differences in the evolutionary history of different species: the phylogeographic scenario was relatively similar in D. dentifera and D. longispina, but it was quite specific in D. galeata. Our genetic analysis of D. galeata population confirms its recent and fast expansion. In contrast, high haplotype diversity in the D. dentifera and D. longispina populations could be explained by the survival of different phylogroups in several glacial refugia located in Siberia. For all studied species, we detected in Siberian populations some unique haplotypes, maximum haplotype diversity is recorded in remote regions of Siberia-lakes of the Yenisei River, the Baikal basin and Transbaikalia, which requires further intensive studies of Daphnia genetic diversity. We believe that these Siberian regions could be a source of undescribed taxa of daphniids as well as a region of high diversity for other freshwater invertebrates.
