Mitochondria1 DNA (mtDNA) a n variation was examined in Indonesian E. spelaea island populations by amplification of the /a D-loop and digestion with restriction endonucleases. In addition, microgeographic variation rtic was assessed by investigation of three cave populations within one island. A total of 24 le-a genotypes, comprising two broad clades, was detected. The pattern of mtDNA variation b s reflects the colonization history of E. spelaea with estimates of haplotype and sequence diversity tra c highest in the older western populations and lowest at the eastern periphery of the species' t/6 distribution. These findings may also be associated with an environmental cline from west 5 /3 to east. There is also evidence that genetic distance between populations reflects geographic /3 2 relationships, especially historical connectedness, as measured by Pleistocene sea-crossing 9 distances. At the microgeographic level, cave populations were heterogeneous and composed /26 6 of diverse lineages suggesting restricted local interchange. 1 2 4 0 1998 The Linnean Society of Iandon 5 b y ADDITIONAL KEY WORDS:-enetic variation - Megachiroptera - phylogeography - gu e population genetics - Pteropodidae. st o n CONTENTS 05 M Introduction . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 330 ay Material and methods . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 331 20 Results . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 333 19 Macrogeographic variation: island populations , . . . . . . . . . 333 Microgeographic variation: cave populations . . . . . . . . . . . 335 Discussion . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 336 Variability and population structure . . . . . . . . . . . . . 336 Evidence of colonization history . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 341 Historic and geographic correlates . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 341 Microgeographic differentiation: cave populations . . . . . . . . . 342 * Correspondence to S.

Its significance centres on its nlo a position at the interface of two distinct biogeographic regions Asia and Australia d e (Whitmore, 1987). This has led to much debate over whether this region is a d fro zoogeographically transitional or unique zone (e.g. Mayr, 1976; Simpson, 1977). m However, what remains clear is that these islands possess a number of features http whFicirhs tm, tahkee athrceh sitpuedlayg oof hthaesi ra nfa uunnas tpaabrltei caunladr lcyo imntpelriecsattiendg agneodl oingfiocarml haitsivtoer.y , ex- s://ac a periencing marked changes in the recent past (Mayr, 1976). The present land masses de m were formed by the collision and subduction of the Australian and Pacific Plates ic beneath the Asian Plate during the Pliocene. This gave rise to two island chains, .ou p the Banda Arcs, of differing geological age and composition. The Inner Banda Arc .c o islands (Lombok-Wetar-Banda) are principally volcanic, whereas the Outer Banda m /b Arc islands (Sumba-Tanimbar-Seram) are sedimentary in origin and represent io lin outliers of the Australian Plate (Veevers, 1991). During the Pleistocene, many of the n e present islands were joined to form larger land masses due to lowered sea levels an produced by glacial maxima (Morley & Flenley, 1987). Bali and Lombok are thought /artic to have remained separate during the Pleistocene due to the depth of the Lombok le -a Strait, but many of the Inner Banda Arc islands were connected during this epoch b s (Heaney, 1991). The major Outer Banda Arc islands (e.g. Sumba, Timor, Tanimbar tra c and Kai) were not joined nor was there any connection between islands of different t/6 5 geological origin (Audley-Charles, 1981 ). These geographic and geological histories /3 /3 may have considerable influence on patterns of differentiation of island fauna from 2 9 the region. /2 6 6 Second, Indonesia encompasses many fragmented insular populations (Mayr, 1 2 1976) providing the opportunity to investigate patterns of variation in island 45 b populations as they become isolated from those of the mainland. In this way, the y g study of island populations has contributed to the understanding of speciation and u e s vicariant events (Mayr, 1963). Further, the eastern Indonesian archipelago has a t o n strongly linear orientation which allows the comparison of a series of populations 0 5 each successively more distant from its colonizing source. M Finally, a cliie in many environmental variables exists from west to east along ay 2 the archipelago which may influence the distribution, habitat and genetics of its 0 1 9 faunal elements (Mayr, 1976). In summary, Indonesia presents an interesting evolutionary setting in which patterns of differentiation in its fauna may be influenced by factors such as geological history, geographic features, climate and insularity. The extent to which these have shaped genetic variation will shed light on the prevailing evolutionary forces acting upon species in this dynamic region. The present study, therefore, aims to assess the genetic variation within a volant mammal, Eonycteris spehu, from the Indonesian archipelago in light of these biogeographic factors. E. speha, the cave fruit bat, is classified in the suborder Megachiroptera and the family Pteropodidae. It is a species of Indo-Malay origin BIOGEOGRAPHY OF THE INDONESIAN ARCHIPELAGO 331 (Tate, 1946) and is common and widespread in southeast Asia (Start & Marshall, 1976). Its distribution ranges from India east to the Philippines, Sulawesi and the Lesser Sundas (Koopman, 1989). Its presence in the Lesser Sundas (islands east of Java) represents the southeastern limits of its distribution. E. speha has been recorded from a variety of forest types and a range of altitudes. It generally roosts in caves and is often found in large colonies. Its diet consists primarily of fruit and nectar and observations suggest it is reliant on diverse food D sources. E. spehu also appears to be a species of great dispersive ability and travels o w considerable distances daily to feed (Payne, Francis & Phillipps, 1985; Start & nlo a Marshall, 1976). Evidence indicates that individuals cluster in groups according to d e d sex and age when feeding and also within cave roosts (Bhat, Sreenivasan &Jacob, fro 1980; Start & Marshall, 1976). Kitchener, Gunnell & Maharadatunkamsi (1990) m also found that there was a close clustering of juveniles and adult females at feeding http localities. s://a Here we investigate, at both macro- and microgeographic levels, genetic variation c a in E. speha from eight Indonesian islands and three caves in Lombok island. Variation de m is examined using restriction fragment length polymorphisms of mitochondrial DNA ic (mtDNA). Restriction enzyme analysis is an appropriate and effective method for .ou p assessing intra-specific genetic variation (Hillis & Moritz, 1990) and useful for .c o m microgeographic studies (Kessler & Avise, 1985). It becomes more so when combined /b with the technique of the polymerase chain reaction, PCR (White et al., 1989), io lin because of the ability to target specific DNA sequences for investigation. This study n e a utilizes this approach in assaying variation in the mitochondrial displacement loop n /a (D-loop) of E. speha. This sequence evolves rapidly within and between species rtic (Moritz, Dowling & Brown, 1987) and is also a region for which universal and le -a mammalian primers are readily available (e.g. Kocher et al., 1989). mtDNA is a b s sensitive indicator of historical demographic processes in addition to contemporary tra c ones and also a marker for female dispersal patterns (e.g. Avise, 1994). t/6 5 /3 /3 2 9 /2 6 6 MATERIAL AND METHODS 12 4 5 b One hundred and four specimens of E. speha were collected from the following y g Indonesian islands (Figure 1; sample size in parenthesis): Bali (12), Lombok (36), u e s Sumbawa (12), Sumba (7), Flores (lo), Adonara (lo), Alor (8) and Timor (9). The t o n Lombok specimens were collected from three caves; one in southwest Lombok, cave 0 5 1 (14) and two in east Lombok, caves 2 (6) and 3 (16). Mean latitude and longitude M a of collection sites were recorded for each island population. Animals were mist- y 2 netted and liver was removed and immediately placed in liquid nitrogen. Tissue 0 1 9 samples were subsequently stored at -70°C. The carcass was preserved and specimens lodged at the Western Australian Museum and Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense. Total genomic DNA was extracted from liver tissue according to Sambrook, Frisch & Maniatis (1989). The tar et region was amplified by PCR using primers comprising sequences of the tRNAf ro and tRNAh' genes which flank the D-loop of the mammalian mitochondrial genome (Brown, 1983). Non-specific primers used were mt15996L (Campbell et al., 1995) and mt607H (designed by M. Elphinstone). Amplification was conducted in 50 pl volumes of 1 x reaction buffer, 100 pM 332 S.

The amplification product was digested /artic with eight restriction endonucleases (EcoRI, SspI, Xbd, BdeI, MseI, RsaI, Suu3AI le and Zp509I) and fragments separated on 5-1 0% polyacrylamide gels. Restriction -ab s fragments were visualised by staining with ethidium bromide and fragment size was tra c ascertained by comparison with appropriate size markers. t/6 5 For each restriction enzyme, every morph was assigned an uppercase letter to /3 /3 represent its restriction fragment profile. Each haplotype was identified by an eight 2 9 letter composite code according to its combination of morphs after Lansman et ul. /2 6 (1 983). Heterogeneity of restriction enzyme morph frequency between populations 61 2 was estimated by the contingency chi-square test and Fisher's exact test when 45 expected values were small. by g Haplotype diversity, which is analagous to nuclear gene heterozygosity, was u e calculated for each population according to Nei (1987) and corrected for small st o sample size. GSb the proportion of genetic variation due to island population n 0 differentiation, was estimated according to Nei (1973). 5 M An estimate of sequence divergence between haplotypes (p) was determined by ay iteration according to Nei & Li (1979). Estimates of p were determined separately 20 1 for restriction enzymes with 4- and 6-base recognition sequences and a mean value 9 was obtained, weighted by the product of the number of fragments and the length of the recognition sequence. Bootstrap estimates were computed by resampling over restriction enzymes. A tree of haplotype relationships was constructed from the bootstrapped sequence divergence matrix using the neighbour-joining algorithm of Saitou & Nei (1 988). Sequence diversity within populations was estimated as the mean p between all pairs of haplotypes (Nei & Jin, 1989). The net sequence diversity between pairs of island populations was estimated as the average haplotype sequence diversity between BIOGEOGRAPHY OF THE INDONESIAN ARCHIPELAGO 333 all possible inter-island pairs, corrected for average intra-island sequence diversity according to Nei & Li (1979). The differentiation index (D) was estimated for each island by averaging the sequence diversity between it and every other island. Principal co-ordinate analyses were used to provide an ordination of distance matrices (Gower, 1966). Two measures of contemporary geographic distances between islands were em- ployed. Great-circle distance between populations was determined as the distance D between the mean latitude and longitude of collection sites of each island. Minimum o w sea-crossing distance was estimated by summing the shortest sea-crossing between nlo a island pairs using, where possible, intervening islands as ‘stepping stones’. Pleistocene d e minimum sea-crossing distances between islands were estimated based on the sea d fro level being 120 m lower than the present and using the ‘stepping stone’ method as m above. Correlations between genetic and geographic distance matrices were estimated http and their significance tested according to Mantel (19 67) using randomization s (Smouse, Long & Sokal, 1986). ://ac a Genstat 5 (Genstat 5 Committee, 1993) and Minitab were used to conduct d e m statistical analyses and produce graphs. ic .o u p .c o m /b RESULTS io lin n e Macrogeographic variation: island populations an /a rtic PCR amplification produced a DNA fragment 1360 basepairs in length and le -a digests of this region with eight restriction enzymes produced an average of 32 b s fragments per individual. A total of 58 different fragments were identified across tra c this species, of which 72% were variable. The frequency of the most common t/6 5 restriction fragment morph ranged from 0.50 to 0.93. The geographic distribution /3 of EcoRI and RsaI morphs are shown in Figures 2A and 2B respectively. These /32 9 examples indicate a tendency for variants to have marginalized distributions (eg. /2 6 EcoRI morph B and RsaI morph C). 61 2 Combining information from all restriction enzymes, a total of 24 haplotypes 45 were identified among eight island populations of E. speba and their geographic by g distribution is shown in Table 1. The most common and widespread haplotype (1 0) u e s was found in 27 of 104 individuals. The remaining haplotypes were represented by t o one to eleven individuals each, some of which were also localized to eastern or n 0 5 western islands. M Painvise sequence divergence (p) between the 24 haplotypes ranged from 0.3% ay to 5.4% with a mean of 2.1% (Table 2). The neighbour-joining tree (Fig. 3) 20 1 constructed from this distance matrix shows two broad clades of haplotypes. Clade 9 1 comprises the closely-networked cluster of haplotypes 1-19 (mean divergence within = 1% YO) which are widespread throughout the sampled region and clade 2 comprises haplotypes 20-24 (mean divergence within = 1.27%) and is restricted to western islands (Table 2). Mean sequence divergence between clades 1 and 2 was 3.56% reflecting that the two groups differ by more than one putative restriction site for some enzymes. Haplotype diversity and sequence diversity within island populations (Table 3) indicated a tendency to decrease from west to east although a statistically significant 334 S. HISHEH ETAL.

A comparison of the levels of sequence divergence between island /3 /3 populations (Table 4) showed a range of 0 to 1.24% and indicated a strong 2 9 geographic component to the variation. The arrangement of islands on the first axis /2 6 6 of a principal coordinate analysis of the divergence matrix is strongly associated 1 2 4 with longitude (Fig. 5), indicating that genetic relationships reflect the linear spatial 5 b separation of islands. This was supported by estimates of the differentiation index y g (D) which ranged from 0.154 to 0.592 and showed that Timor, at the species’ u e s periphery, is the most differentiated population (Table 4). Further, haplotype diversity t o n and D are significantly associated indicating that populations with low variability 0 5 are also most genetically divergent (r= -0.82, R0.02; Fig. 6). M a There was a trend for sequence divergence between island populations to be y 2 associated with Pleistocene sea-crossing distance (Fig. 7) suggesting the influence of 0 1 9 historical land connections on genetic variation, however, this did not quite reach statistical significance (r= 0.45, P= 0.06). Genetic distance between populations was less well described by contemporary sea-crossing (r= 0.30, P= 0.12) and not associated with great-circle distance (r= -0.01 5, P= 0.47). Microgeographic variation: cave populations Within the island of Lombok, cave 1 was differentiated from the two eastern caves for both EcoRI (R0.05) and &a1 (RO.01) morphs (Fig. 2A, B).

These findings are due to half 5 b the individuals sampled from cave 1 possessing haplotypes 20-24 (clade 2) which y g u were absent from the other two caves. This difference in clade frequency between e s cave 1 and the other caves is statistically significant (p<O.OOl). t o n All cave populations showed similar levels of haplotypic diversity, although cave 0 5 1 had a substantially higher sequence diversity reflecting the presence of both clades M a of haplotypes (Table 5). Comparing the magnitude of sequence diversity and linear y 2 0 distance between the three caves, it appears that genetic and geographic distance 1 9 are associated (Table 6), cave 1 being most divergent for both parameters.
