18,000 years ago), when sea level was
120 m below the present level. The inferred migration routes of D. ananassae out of Sundaland seem to parallel those of humans in this region. Strong evidence for a population size expansion is seen particularly in the ancestral populations.
To varying degrees, genetic differentiation exists in every species. It influences the estimation of population genetic parameters and complicates the analysis of molecular variation. However, with simplified assumptions, considerable progress in modeling population subdivision has been made in recent years (e.g., WAKELEY 2001). Using these methods, it is now possible to distinguish central (ancestral) from peripheral (derived) populations without applying phylogenetic methods (VOGL et al. 2003).
Drosophila ananassae is one of the very few Drosophila species with a cosmopolitan distribution and is present in most of the tropical, subtropical, and mildly temperate regions of the world (TOBARI 1993). It lives in close association with humans throughout the entire species range (DOBZHANSKY 1970), being most abundant in South and Southeast (SE) Asia, including some southern islands of Japan, Polynesia, Australasian regions, and America (FUTCH 1966; BOCK and WHEELER 1972; MCEVEY et al. 1987). This species has likely originated in SE Asia and subsequently dispersed to other parts of the world, possibly through human activity (DOBZHANSKY and DREYFUS 1943). Previous population genetic studies using DNA sequence polymorphism provided evidence for significant genetic structure in this species (STEPHAN et al. 1998). On the basis of these analyses, D. ananassae appears to be an excellent organism for analyzing population subdivision.
Here we adopt a multilocus approach using 16 populations covering almost the entire species range to infer the population structure of D. ananassae. Analyzing putatively neutral nuclear DNA sequence polymorphisms from 10 independent loci, we are able to distinguish between central and peripheral populations. We confirm the SE Asian origin of D. ananassae and delimit its ancestral species range to a region that was a well-connected single landmass (Sundaland) until the late Pleistocene [
18,000 years ago (18 KYA)], when sea level was lower than today by
120 m. In addition, we study the demographic history of D. ananassae. While the central subpopulations deviate most clearly from the neutral, constant-size equilibrium model, the population as a whole appears to be expanding.

Summary statistics of DNA sequence variation, neutrality tests, and linkage disequilibrium:
For each locus and population, we calculated the number of segregating sites, the number of haplotypes, and two summary statistics of intrapopulational nucleotide diversity:
w (WATTERSON 1975), based on the number of segregating sites in the sample, and
(NEI 1987), the average number of pairwise differences per site. Assuming the standard neutral model of a random-mating population of constant size, both summary statistics estimate the population mutation parameter
= 3Neµ (for X-linked loci), where Ne is the effective population size and µ the mutation rate per generation per site. Divergence (
) between D. ananassae and its sibling species D. pallidosa was estimated for each locus and averaged over loci for each population. The program DnaSP, version 3.50 (ROZAS and ROZAS 1999), was used to estimate these parameters; all values are summarized in the online supplementary Table 2 (http://www.genetics.org/supplemental/).

and
w. Under the standard neutral model, Tajima's D is roughly equal to zero. So any deviation from zero would indicate a skew in the allele frequency spectrum. Fu and Li's D test is based on the difference between the total number of polymorphic sites and the number of derived singletons (polymorphisms appearing only once in the sample). In addition, we employed the multilocus versions of the Hudson-Kreitman-Aguadé (HKA) and Tajima's D and Fu and Li's D tests (HUDSON et al. 1987; TAJIMA 1989; FU and LI 1993). These three tests were done using the program HKA, kindly provided by J. Hey (http://lifesci.rutgers.edu/heylab), in which the test statistics are compared with the distributions generated from 10,000 coalescent simulations (KLIMAN et al. 2000; see also FRISSE et al. 2001).
The index of association (IA), a measure of linkage disequilibrium for multiple loci (BROWN et al. 1980; HAUBOLD et al. 1998), was estimated by pairwise comparison of haplotypes using each population separately. It essentially tests to what extent individuals that are identical (or different) at one locus are more likely to be identical (or different) at the other loci. To examine whether an observation deviates significantly from the hypothesis of no linkage disequilibrium among loci, the observed value was compared to the results of 10,000 randomized data sets. The program MultiLocus, version 1.3 (AGAPOW and BURT 2001), was used for both estimation and randomization.
Distinguishing the central from peripheral populations and inferring population structure:
We used a coalescence-based Bayesian approach implemented through a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) integration method to distinguish central from more peripheral populations of D. ananassae (VOGL et al. 2003). This novel method evaluates for each population the degree of differentiation (
p) from a reconstructed migrant pool. The reconstruction of the migrant pool is based on the assumption of a large number of demes between which migrants are exchanged according the island model (WRIGHT 1969). WAKELEY (2001) has shown that in such a model the coalescent can be partitioned into a "scattering phase" (in which coalescences within demes occur on a relatively fast time scale) and into a slower "collecting phase" (in which the coalescences between islands occur). The migrant pool is reconstructed on the basis of the slow dynamics (see Appendix in VOGL et al. 2003). The parameter
p for each population (henceforth called migration-drift parameter) takes small values (close to zero) if the population shows little differentiation from the migrant pool and large values (close to one) if differentiation is strong.
We also applied an individual-based analysis of population structure using a clustering algorithm implemented in the program Structure (PRITCHARD et al. 2000). Our data set consisted of the haplotype frequencies for each of the 10 loci. We performed 1020 runs for each K value. A burn-in period of 50,000 generations and MCMC simulations of 100,000 iterations were used. We ran the program assuming the no-admixture model with values of K ranging from 2 to 10. Highest posterior probabilities with consistent and meaningful genetic clusters in relation to the geographic locations of the populations were obtained with K = 7. To confirm the results obtained with Structure, we followed an FST-based approach (WEIR and COCKERHAM 1984). Since it has been suggested that genetic distances measured by FST generate reliable tree topologies (CAVALLI-SFORZA and FELDMAN 2003), FST estimates between pairs of populations were used as genetic distances to obtain an unrooted neighbor-joining (NJ) population tree (SAITOU and NEI 1987), employing the program MEGA version 2 (KUMAR et al. 2001). To determine the strength of support for the internal branches, 1000 bootstrap trees were generated using the BioNJ computer program (GASCUEL 1997).

651 kb in total (160 lines). The total length of individual loci ranges from 371 to 487 bp. We found 529 SNPs, of which 219 were recorded only once in the sample. As only two variants were detected at each polymorphic site, our data fit the infinite-site mutation model (KIMURA 1969). The number of haplotypes at individual loci varies from 23 to 101. The number of segregating sites per locus is lowest in the two Brazilian populations (<3) and highest in SE Asia and Australia (>11). In India, Nepal, Myanmar, northern Thailand, and Japan, an intermediate number of segregating sites wasfound (varying from <7 to 9). In five of the SE Asian populations (BOG, BKK, KL, KK, and MNL), almost every sequenced individual X chromosome represents a separate haplotype for most of the highly polymorphic loci. In DAR and CEB (geographically close to the five SE Asian locations mentioned above), the number of segregating sites is relatively high, but not the number of haplotypes (56 vs. >7 in the five SE Asian populations). In CNX, some high-frequency haplotypes that are rare or entirely absent in other populations were observed. Mean nucleotide diversity
varies from 0.0024 (RIO) to 0.0124 (KK; Table 2). The two Brazilian populations have the lowest, whereas samples from the six SE Asian localities (BKK, KL, BOG, KK, MNL, and CEB) and DAR show the highest levels of nucleotide diversity (ranging from 0.0094 to 0.0124). The samples from India, Nepal, Myanmar, northern Thailand, and Japan have intermediate levels of diversity (0.0059 in KMJ to 0.0074 in BBS). Nucleotide diversity measured by
w shows exactly the same pattern, but the values are somewhat higher than the corresponding
values (except for those in RIO and BBS). The means of
and
w over all populations are 0.0079 and 0.0089, respectively. Over all 10 loci, there were only 12 fixed nucleotide differences between D. ananassae and its sibling species D. pallidosa. Per-site divergence averaged over all loci and populations was found to be very low (1.48%), with no remarkable variation among samples (Table 2). Mean divergence is less than half of the value (3.2%) previously reported for Om(1D) (STEPHAN et al. 1998).
As shown in Table 2, the multilocus linkage disequilibrium (IA) values for the five SE Asian populations (BKK, KL, BOG, KK, and MNL) are close to zero and not statistically significant. For 9 of the other 11 populations, IA values are high, and for 5 populations (SAO, CH, KATH, CNX, and CEB), the values are statistically significant.
Distinguishing central from peripheral populations and inferring population structure:
To distinguish central from more peripheral populations, we followed the method of VOGL et al. (2003)(see MATERIALS AND METHODS). The mean migration-drift parameter (
p) takes much lower values for the five SE Asian populations (BKK, KL, BOG, KK, and MNL) than for the rest of the populations (Figure 1). RIO has the highest value of
p, followed by SAO, KMJ, and CNX. The Indian populations have intermediate values. DAR has an intermediate value as well, although it is in close geographic proximity to these five SE Asian populations. Similarly, CEB and CNX have relatively high values of
p, despite being geographically close to the five SE Asian populations with very low values of
p. This is consistent with our previous analysis of a subset of the present data (nine loci, seven populations) where BOG had the lowest
p value (VOGL et al. 2003).

30% of the ancestry of MAN is shared with the homogeneous KMJ cluster. DAR also forms a distinct, nearly homogeneous cluster. CNX and CEB form two distinct clusters. While CNX was found to be totally homogeneous, CEB shows some heterogeneity. In contrast to these subpopulations with (nearly) homogeneous clusters, individuals from the five SE Asian localities (BKK, KL, BOG, KK, and MNL) were found to consist of a mixture of all six clusters, thus representing a pool of diverse genetic ancestries. Another (seventh) cluster was found in these five populations at a high proportion. This cluster, unlike the other six, did not contribute >50% to any of the populations and was also found in small proportions in all three Indian samples, CEB, and DAR. The frequency of this cluster seems to decline with distance from SE Asia (Figure 2).

Tajima's D-statistic has been shown to be sensitive to the demographic history (TAJIMA 1989) and utilized in previous population genetic studies to test the neutral equilibrium model in humans and D. melanogaster (FRISSE et al. 2001; GLINKA et al. 2003). Except for a few cases, the single-locus Tajima's D-values are negative but not statistically significant (supplementary Table 2). In all samples except BBS and KMJ, negative mean D-values were obtained (Table 2). In KATH, BKK, KL, BOG, and MNL, observed mean values are significantly different from the equilibrium expectation, suggesting that these populations do not fit the neutral equilibrium model. Similarly, the observed variances of Tajima's D across the 10 loci are lower than the expectation under neutrality for the majority of the samples (Table 2). Very similar results were observed for the single-locus Fu and Li's D test as most of the D-values are negative but very few show a statistically significant departure from the equilibrium expectation (data not shown). The mean Fu and Li's D-values across all 10 loci (Table 2) in 11 populations (except SAO, BBSR, DAR, CEB, and KMJ) were negative but statistically significant in only 3 (KL, BOG, and MNL), suggesting an excess of singletons in most of the populations. The observed variances across loci were not consistent among populations; a significantly lower variance was observed in BKK.

The six SE Asian samples (BKK, KL, BOG, KK, MNL, and CEB) show the highest levels of nucleotide diversity. Furthermore, a very low level of linkage disequilibrium was found in these populations (except CEB), whereas relatively high values were observed in many of the other 10 populations. High levels of diversity and low amounts of linkage disequilibrium are characteristic features of ancestral populations, whereas low levels of diversity and high amounts of linkage disequilibrium are expected in recently established populations (JORDE et al. 2001).
In contrast to polymorphism, divergence between D. ananassae populations and its sibling species D. pallidosa is remarkably constant across loci (and relatively low). The latter observation is consistent with the notions that (i) the separation of these two species has been a recent event in the speciation history of the melanogaster group (BOCK and WHEELER 1972) and (ii) no apparent postmating isolation has developed between these two species as hybrids and their progenies can be produced in the laboratory (DOI et al. 2001). As in the case of polymorphism, the fact that the estimates of divergence are lower than those in a previous study (STEPHAN et al. 1998) may be attributable to our experimental approach using conserved D. melanogaster primers (see above).
Sundalandthe center of the ancestral D. ananassae population:
Similar to previous observations with different molecular markers (JOHNSON 1971; STEPHAN 1989; STEPHAN and LANGLEY 1989; STEPHAN et al. 1998), the present results suggest that populations of D. ananassae are highly structured. Seven different genetic clusters were identified. While 11 subpopulations correspond to six distinct clusters (Figure 2), 5 samples from SE Asia (BKK, KL, BOG, KK, and MNL) do not correspond to any of these clusters. Instead, these 5 subpopulations are mixtures of all seven clusters and also genetically close to each other (Figures 2 and 3). Furthermore, the migration-drift parameter (
p) has by far the lowest values in these five samples, indicating that these populations are likely part of the ancestral species range of D. ananassae. This is consistent with the results that these 5 samples have the highest nucleotide diversity, highest number of haplotypes, and low levels of linkage disequilibrium. In contrast, the other 11 samples are clearly peripheral. Our previous analysis of a subset of the present data (VOGL et al. 2003) was not able to delimit the ancestral range of D. ananassae because too few locations in SE Asia were sampled. Of the present 5 ancestral samples, BOG was the only one analyzed by VOGL et al. (2003). On the basis of an extensive sampling in SE Asia, the present study provides a much clearer picture of the evolutionary history of this species.
Although presently isolated by sea, these five populations were part of a single large landmass (Sundaland) comprising the lands on the Sunda Shelf (JOHNSON 1964; VANE-WRIGHT 1990; Figure 4). During most of the glaciation periods in the late Pleistocene
18 KYA (SHACKLETON 2000), this landmass was above the sea when sea level was
120 m below the present level. Although the landmass of the northern Philippines (MNL) was not part of Sundaland, it was connected to Sundaland via Greater Palawan (Figure 4). Similarly, Greater Mindanao in the southern Philippines was connected to Sundaland through Greater Sulu. Biogeographic studies show that the Philippines were mainly colonized from Borneo through the Palawan or the Sulu Archipelago (HEANEY 1985; DE JONG 1996). Also, the flora and fauna from Sundaland were found to be dispersed within the Philippines during the Pleistocene when sea level fluctuations provided the most recent opportunity for a simplified overland faunal exchange throughout SE Asia (DICKINSON 1991). Thus, these five subpopulations apparently belonged to a single large population in the recent past representing the ancestral population of D. ananassae.

Most interesting is the sample from Cebu (CEB), a small island located in the center of the Philippine Archipelago. During the late Pleistocene, Cebu was an almost-isolated part of Greater Negros-Panay (Figure 4). Since KK is genetically close to CEB, it is plausible that the colonization of CEB occurred from Borneo through one of the two land routes (see above), such as through Greater Sulu via Greater Mindanao. This is further supported by the fact that MNL is genetically more distant from CEB than is KK and by the presence of the seventh cluster. Since Cebu was only loosely connected to Greater Negros-Panay, this might have led to a relative genetic endemism of CEB.
The sample from CNX is comparatively less variable (Table 2), clearly peripheral (Figure 1), and characterized by several high-frequency haplotypes. Northern Thailand has a typical monsoon climate with marked seasonal temperature variations, causing population shrinkage in winter and reemergence in summer. Such population bottlenecks are expected to increase linkage disequilibrium (REICH et al. 2001) and to greatly reduce polymorphism. Furthermore, CNX does not share genetic ancestry with its geographically close population, MAN. It is possible that high mountains (bordering Thailand and Myanmar) might be geographical barriers to gene flow between these two populations.
Genetic differentiation was found to correlate significantly with geographic distance when all populations were considered (r = 0.75, P < 0.0001). When the two Brazilian samples were excluded, the correlations are still positive and statistically significant (r = 0.34, P < 0.003). This indicates the important role of gene flow after D. ananassae moved out of Sundaland. As expected on the basis of a model of radial migration from a center, the correlation becomes much tighter when only comparisons between peripheral populations and a central population (KK) are considered (r = 0.66, P < 0.03). Thus a recent divergence of the Sundaland populations and migration out of Sundaland with possible gene flow between populations may be a reasonable explanation for this observed isolation-by-distance effect. Correlations of genetic differentiation and geographic distance, even over short distances, are commonly observed in many other organisms including Arabidopsis, humans, and D. melanogaster (SHARBEL et al. 2000; CAVALLI-SFORZA and FELDMAN 2003; KENNINGTON et al. 2003).
Evidence for population size expansion:
Since it is unlikely that natural selection has substantially affected DNA sequence variation in recent history in any of the fragments and populations analyzed here, the observed departure from the neutral equilibrium model in some populations is more appropriately explained by migration and demographic processes such as past events of population expansion and/or bottlenecks (SLATKIN and HUDSON 1991; FAY and WU 1999). Surprisingly, four of the five SE Asian populations (BKK, BOG, KL, and MNL) that are considered ancestral and central (see above) do not fit a constant-population size model with respect to the mean and/or the variance of Tajima's D. Negative values of D indicate an excess of rare variants relative to the standard neutral model, suggesting population growth (TAJIMA 1989). Similarly, the mean Fu and Li's D-values were negative in all five populations and statistically significant for BOG, KL, and MNL, suggesting a significant excess of singletons. A population size expansion of an ancestral population was also observed recently in D. melanogaster (GLINKA et al. 2003). In contrast, in humans and D. simulans the ancestral African populations analyzed seem to fit the neutral equilibrium model although negative Tajima's D-values were found at individual loci (HAMBLIN and VEUILLE 1999; PLUZHNIKOV et al. 2002).
Of the 11 more peripheral populations, only KATH shows a significantly negative value of Tajima's D. However, the observed variance is higher than expected under the standard neutral model. Under a model of simple population growth, the variance of Tajima's D is expected to be lower (as observed in most of the central populations). Thus, it is likely that a more complex demographic model (including migration) may explain the data for KATH. Since the Tajima's D-values of most of the other peripheral populations are negative (with a lower variance), it appears that the D. ananassae population as a whole is expanding. This is further supported by the predominantly short internal and long external branches in the population tree (Figure 3). Our observation that not all peripheral populations show strongly negative values of Tajima's D may be due to the fact that several confounding processes occur simultaneously. For example, population subdivision, admixture, and bottlenecks (including founder events) would cause an excess of alleles of intermediate frequency leading to higher Tajima's D-values. On the other hand, population expansion would produce an excess of rare alleles and hence lower Tajima's D-values. Thus, in combination, these effects may influence each other. Similarly, levels of linkage disequilibrium are expected to be low under a model of population growth but high in the presence of population subdivision and admixture (PRITCHARD and PRZEWORSKI 2001). However, unlike in the ancestral populations, the mean Fu and Li's D-values were not significant in any of the peripheral populations although negative values were generally seen. Thus, the observed high proportion of rare alleles in the peripheral populations of D. ananassae provides evidence for old bottleneck events in the process of foundation of these populations (SIMONSEN et al. 1995) out of Sundaland followed by expansion. Taken together, our observations reflect a signature of a species-wide demographic expansion in D. ananassae, modulated by other population-specific demographic processes (e.g., old bottlenecks in the peripheral population and simple expansion events in the central populations).
Parallel evolutionary history with humans:
Since D. ananassae is frequently found in domestic habitats and lives in close association with humans (DOBZHANSKY 1970), further insights into the evolutionary history of this species might be gained in the context of human evolution. The first entry of modern humans into Asia occurred between 40 and 60 KYA (CAVALLI-SFORZA and FELDMAN 2003) and was followed by a northward (reaching China, Japan, and eventually America) and southward (through Malaysia and Indonesia, reaching Polynesia) migration that coincided with the receding glaciers in that area (JIN and SU 2000; STRINGER 2000). The first humans probably arrived in the Americas
1112 KYA (DILLEHAY 2003). Furthermore, mainland SE Asian humans served as a pool of genetic (ROBERTS-THOMSON et al. 1996; BALLINGER et al. 2000; SU et al. 2000) and dentition pattern (TURNER 1987) diversity among SE Asian, Polynesian, and Australasian humans. Thus, the pattern of human diversity and migration in these regions seems parallel to those inferred for D. ananassae. Even though there are no historical data to evaluate the distribution of D. ananassae when it initially came in contact with humans, parallels in population history indicate that D. ananassae might have become associated with modern humans after the latter settled in mainland SE Asia and that both moved out of SE Asia simultaneously. Extensive trading of commercial goods by humans over the sea route between SE Asia and India was common practice during the recent past. Also, in agreement with Huxley's hypothesis (HUXLEY 1870), recent genetic data (REDD and STONEKING 1999; REDD et al. 2002) support human gene flow between the Indian subcontinent and Australia. This may explain the close genetic affinity of Indian and Australian D. ananassae (Figure 3). The observations fit the notion that D. ananassae accomplished its present cosmopolitan or quasi-cosmopolitan distribution with man's aid (TOBARI 1993). Geographic subdivision (AGOSTINI et al. 1997) and parallel evolutionary history (CAVALLI-SFORZA and FELDMAN 2003) are common in several human parasites and commensals.
