ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Sida fallax (Malvaceae) is the most widespread and variable taxon of Malvaceae in the Hawaiian Islands, growing with a diversity of morphological forms in different habitats including Midway Atoll, Nihoa, and all the main islands. Morphological variation exists within and among populations. The study aimed to investigate the genetic variation within and among populations from various habitats and geographic locations throughout the Hawaiian range of S. fallax.Methods:
A total of 124 samples, with up to five samples per population where possible, were collected from 26 populations across six of the main Hawaiian Islands (Kaua'i, O'ahu, Maui, Moloka'i, Lana'i, and Hawai'i) and Nihoa in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. The sampling strategy encompassed collecting populations from different habitats and geographic locations, including coastal and mountain ecotypes, with many intermediate morphological forms. Multiplexed ISSR genotyping by sequencing (MIG-seq) was used to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and genetic differences among individuals and populations were evaluated using PCO analyses.Results:
The relationship of FST with the geographical distance between the populations was assessed using the Mantel test. The results showed that populations on a single island were more closely related to each other and to populations on islands within their respective groups than they were to populations on other islands.Discussion:
The overall genetic relationships among islands were, to a large extent, predictive based on island position within the chain and, to a lesser extent, within island topography.
