Daphnia galeata is a common and dominant species in warmer waters, and has a strong top-down effect on both phytoplankton and bacteria. The knowledge of its temporal and spatial patterns of genetic diversity is fundamental in understanding its population dynamics and potential ecological function in ecosystems. Its population genetics have been investigated at regional scales but few within regions or at smaller spatial scales. Here, we examined the fine-scale spatial genetic variation of D. galeata within four large, deep reservoirs in wet and dry seasons and the six-year variation of genetic diversity in one of the reservoirs by using cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and microsatellites (simple sequence repeat). Our study shows that fine-scale spatial genetic variation commonly occurred within the reservoirs, indicating strong environmental selection at least in the two of reservoirs with strong longitudinal gradients. Since the environmental gradients established in the dry season was largely reduced in the wet season, the fine-scale spatial genetic variation was much higher in the dry season. The dynamics of local genetic diversity did not follow the theoretical pattern of rapid erosion but peaked in mid or mid-late growth season. The local genetic diversity of D. galeata appears to be shaped and maintained not only by recruitment from resting egg banks but also by gene flow within reservoirs. The temporal and fine-scale genetic variation within a water body suggests that it is necessary to pay attention to sampling periods and locations of a given water body in regional studies. |
