Although the genetic structures of populations in several model organisms have been studied even at the genomic level, quite a few ecologically important or evolutionary interesting species, such as endemic species on oceanic islands, exist whose genetic variations have not yet been studied. Genetic studies of those species may add new insights to our knowledge of evolution, especially when accompanied with ecological and geological knowledge of the species. In this study, we analyzed the genetic variation of two related species of Hamamelidaceae,Distylium racemosumandDistylium lepidotum, living in different habitats and possessing distinctive morphological characteristics.Distylium racemosumis one of the dominant trees of broad-leaved evergreen forests in Japan, andD. lepidotumis a dominant shrub in dry scrub endemic to the Ogasawara Islands. We analyzed the nucleotide variation at 112 protein-coding loci in 95 samples for the twoDistyliumspecies and inferred population structure and demographic history on the basis of these data. Our results showed that the samples from twoDistyliumspecies were genetically clustered into the following three groups:D. racemosum,D. lepidotumin the Chichijima Island, andD. lepidotumin the Hahajima Island. Furthermore,D. racemosumappears to have diverged first approximately 10 million years ago (MYA), and, then, the split of two populations ofD. lepidotumoccurred around 1 MYA. Additionally, we detected a few candidate loci that may contribute to adaptation of the species or local populations by exploring the pattern of the variation within and between species using theFST-outlier approach.
