PHYLOGEOGRAPHIC PATTERNS AND GENETIC CONNECTIVITY OF MARINE PLANTS: A REVIEW

Marine plant phylogeography is a relatively minority research area with no more than 30 years, but it has made considerable contribution to the understanding of how environmental changes altered marine species diversity patterns, ecological adaptation, and evolutionary capability across time and space. We firstly searched and screened papers on the marine plant phylogeography published in two most well-known international journals Molecular Ecology and Journal of Biogeography, and then summarized the main tendency and research status of marine plant phylogeography during 2000-2019 in terms of country/region of the author(s) and taxonomic position of research objectives in the world. We subsequently reviewed the mechanistic roles of ocean currents in shaping phylogeographic structure and diversity of marine plants, population genetic variation and reconstruction of colonization routes of invasive species, the genetic imprints of glacial refugia in extant genetic connectivity and geographic shifts of marine plants, and the contribution of clonal reproduction to phylogeographic diversification. Finally, this article forecasts the future research directions of marine plant phylogeography in terms of incorporating island biogeographic hypotheses, phylogeographic co-evolution of symbiotic plants and microbiome, and the application of high-throughput sequencing data to thoroughly understand diversity, distribution, and evolution of marine plants.
