The maternal footprint of recurrent glacial speciation boosting.

BEAST chronogram (Figure 2—source data 1) based on complete plastid genome sequence data supplemented by a geographical distribution pattern of the six main phylogenetic lineages (displayed as colored bars next to the tree; dots in the map are colored accordingly; Figure 2—source data 2). The Ionopsidium outgroup lineage is collapsed and condensed. The tree topology is congruent to the topology as revealed from maximum likelihood (ML) analysis. The full BEAST chronogram and the ML tree (incl. bootstrap support values) are given in Appendix 1—figures 6, 9 and 10. Individuals with a base chromosome number of n=7 (shown for all ploidy levels and diploids only) and accessions with an alpine or subalpine habitat type are marked with black dots next to respective tips. Letters (a)–(e) as displayed on the timeline indicate high glacial periods: (a) 640 kya, end of Günz glacial; (b) 450 kya, beginning of Mindel glacial; (c) 250–300 kya, Mindel-Riss inter-glacial; (d) 150–200 kya, Riss glacial; (e) 30–80 kya, Würm glacial. The black dashed line indicates the extent of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM ~21 kya; based on Ehlers and Gibbard, 2007). The red dashed rectangle highlights a region with evidence for ice-free areas during the Penultimate Glacial Period (~140 kya; based on Colleoni et al., 2016).

The maximum likelihood consensus tree (_SourceData1)Appendix 1—figure 19—source data 1 was generated with TreeMix (Pickrell and Pritchard, 2012) with one migration/admixture event (best m, Evanno method; Appendix 1—figure 16).

Gating (a) and peak analysis (b) were performed via the Partec FloMax software. Gating was applied as a simple polygon-based gating, defined in the fluorescence channel 1 (FL1) versus side scatter (SSC) dot plot, in order to remove the generally high amount of cellular debris. Samples were stained with propidium iodide (PI) as indicated on the x-axis label. Additional information on corresponding statistics is given with Supplementary Data Set 4.

Selected population genetic statistics observed for EUR and ARC populations of diploid Cochlearia.

Each statistic is an average over 5601 independent contigs. These statistics together with 103 additional summary statistics formed the basis of the coalescent modeling analyses.

Supplementary file 9

Results of model choice via ABC-RF for four models differing in the history of gene flow.

Models explored for the coalescent modeling framework: SI = strict isolation, CM = continuous migration from the population split to the present, OSC = ongoing secondary contact with gene flow starting after population split and continuing up to the present, PSC = past secondary contact with gene flow starting after population split and stopping before the present. The effect of the choice of prior is shown by two different upper bounds of the effective population sizes.

Supplementary file 10

Parameter estimates for the SI and OSC models with two choices of priors for the effective population sizes (upper bound of N, Nmax).

The upper part shows medians with 5th and 95th percentiles of the approximated posterior distributions. Population sizes (N) in thousands, time (t) in thousands of generations, and migration rates in log10 of the proportion of immigrants per generation. The lower part shows goodness of fit of these parameter estimates from posterior predictive checks (PPCs), as the standardized euclidean distances between observed summary statistics and predicted values.

Prior distributions of the explored ABC models.

Population sizes (N) in natural units, time (t) in number of generations ago, and migration rates (m) as the fraction of the recipient population made up of immigrants per generation. N parameters were also explored with a higher upper bound, 3 million.
