Abstract

Understanding the genomic architecture of temperature adaptation is critical for characterizing and predicting the effects of temperature changes on natural populations. However, our understanding of these mechanisms is still limited, especially concerning adaptation to a cold climate. Here, we looked for adaptive phenotypic features that may help high‐elevation waterflea (Daphnia sinensis) clones to cope with the low temperatures of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP) and explored possible genomic signatures of adaptation to cold. We used an experimental approach to compare transcriptional responses, in high‐elevation and lowland D. sinensis ecotypes from China to different experimental temperatures (16°C vs. 20°C). We ran life table experiments and found that high‐elevation clones (from the QTP) produced more offspring in their 1st clutch (or over the 1st two clutches) than lowland clones when grown at a lower temperature. This temperature‐dependent life history difference was associated with strong genomic signatures of temperature adaptation: the gene SLC4A11 (encoding a transmembrane protein transporting Na+ and H+), together with its encompassing genomic island, might contribute to the adaptive evolution to the cold temperature experienced by high‐elevation clones. We noted that a set of candidate genes specific to the high‐elevation clones was associated with lipid metabolism, cuticle production, and cellular proliferation, possibly involved in the mechanism of temperature adaptation of these clones to the climate on the QTP. Our findings advance the understanding of how organisms have evolved to cope with cold environments.

青藏高原关键性水生甲壳动物对低温的适应性
了解温度适应的基因组结构对于描述和预测温度变化对自然种群的影响至关重要。然而,我们对这些机制的了解仍然有限,尤其是在适应寒冷气候方面。在这里,我们寻找了可能有助于高海拔中华水蚤克隆应对青藏高原低温的适应性表型特征,并探索了适应寒冷的可能基因组特征。我们采用实验方法比较了中国高海拔和低地中华蚤生态型对不同实验温度(16°C 与 20°C)的转录反应。我们进行了生命表实验,发现高海拔克隆(来自QTP)在较低温度下生长时,第一窝(或前两窝)产生的后代比低地克隆多。这种与温度相关的生活史差异与强烈的温度适应基因组特征有关:SLC4A11基因(编码一种转运Na+和H+的跨膜蛋白)及其包含的基因组岛可能有助于高海拔克隆对低温的适应性进化。我们注意到,高海拔克隆特有的一组候选基因与脂质代谢、角质层生成和细胞增殖有关,可能参与了这些克隆对QTP气候的温度适应机制。我们的发现加深了人们对生物如何进化以应对寒冷环境的理解。

期刊介绍: Limnology and Oceanography (L&O; print ISSN 0024-3590, online ISSN 1939-5590) publishes original articles, including scholarly reviews, about all aspects of limnology and oceanography. The journal''s unifying theme is the understanding of aquatic systems. Submissions are judged on the originality of their data, interpretations, and ideas, and on the degree to which they can be generalized beyond the particular aquatic system examined. Laboratory and modeling studies must demonstrate relevance to field environments; typically this means that they are bolstered by substantial "real-world" data. Few purely theoretical or purely empirical papers are accepted for review.
