摘要:  物种分化过程与原因是进化生物学和生态学研究的热点问题之一,分化的本质为基因的分化。研究采用全球分布的夜鹭作为研究对象,基于线粒体COX1基因,分别采用贝叶斯法和最大似然法构建其系统发育树;采用放松分子钟的方法,利用鹳形目与鹈形目的分歧时间结点68.92百万年,与企鹅目的分歧时间67.12百万年,及鹈形目与企鹅目的分歧时间72.25百万年作为校正点,使用BEAST软件构建其分歧时间树,目的是利用分子手段探究夜鹭的分歧时间,并尝试推测其可能的分化因素。结果表明:夜鹭可依分布区域而分为两个支系,亚洲支系和美洲支系;距今56.74百万年左右,两支系分开;分歧原因可能与亚洲大陆和美洲大陆的分离有关。

Abstract: The process and reason of species divergence is one of the hot issues in evolutionary biology and ecology field, the nature of species divergence is the gene differentiation. This research studied the globally distributed black-crowned night heron. A phylogenetic tree was constructed by using the method of bayesian and maximum likelihood based on mitochondrial COX1 gene. A time tree was built by the BEAST software using a relaxed molecular clock and three calibration points from the divergence time 68.92 million years between Ciconiiformes and Pelecaniformes, 67.12 million years between Ciconiiformes and Sphenisciformes, 72.25 million years between Ciconiiformes and Sphenisciformes. The purpose of this study is to use molecular methods to evaluate the divergence time of black-crowned night heron and infer the divergence factors. The results showed that the night heron could be divided into two lineages according to their distribution areas, the Americas lineage and Asia lineage. The divergence of the two lineages approximately happened 56.74 million years ago. The separation of the Asian continent and America caused this divergence.
