Abstract

Endosymbiont induced cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) may play an important role in arthropod speciation. However, whether CI consistently becomes associated or coupled with other host-related forms of reproductive isolation (RI) to impede the transfer of endosymbionts between hybridizing populations and further the divergence process remains an open question. Here, we show varying degrees of pre- and post-mating RI exist among allopatric populations of two interbreeding cherry-infesting tephritid fruit flies (Rhagoletis cingulata and R. indifferens) across North America. These flies display allochronic and sexual isolation among populations, as well as unidirectional reductions in egg hatch in hybrid crosses involving southwestern USA males. All populations are infected by a Wolbachia strain, wCin2, whereas a second strain, wCin3, only coinfects flies from the Southwest USA and Mexico. Strain wCin3 is associated with a unique mtDNA haplotype and unidirectional postmating RI, implicating the strain as the cause of CI. When coupled with non-endosymbiont RI barriers, we estimate the strength of CI associated with wCin3 would not prevent the strain from introgressing from infected Southwestern to uninfected populations elsewhere in the USA if populations were to come into secondary contact and hybridize. In contrast, cytoplasmic-nuclear coupling may be sufficient to impede the transfer of wCin3 if Mexican and USA populations were to come into contact. We discuss our results in the context of the general paucity of examples demonstrating stable Wolbachia hybrid zones and whether the spread of Wolbachia among taxa can be constrained in natural hybrid zones long enough for the endosymbiont to participate in speciation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TEEseq raw paired-end Miseq data and associated barcodes:
The fastq.gz files are gzipped compressed and are otherwise in standard fastq format.
The barcode file is a .txt file where the first column contains the barcode sequence and the second column contains the associated individual ID number.

ASVs:
These are in standard fasta format with the fasta header the ASV number and the sequence the unique ASV. For each gene used for MLST barcoding there are two ASV files, one for paired-end data and the other for single-end data.

ASV_paired_gatB.fasta    
ASV_paired_hcpA.fasta    
ASV_paired_wsp.fasta    
ASV_paired_coxA.fasta

ASV_single_fbpA.fasta    
ASV_single_gatB.fasta
ASV_single_ftsZ.fasta
ASV_single_hcpA.fasta
ASV_single_wsp.fasta

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ASV counts:
These files count the total number of ASVs reads found for each gene for each individual. There are two summary files for each MLST gene, one for paired-end data and the other for single-end data. 
The first column is labeled OTU which describes what ASV is being counted. The ASVs listed in the OTU column are the same as those found in the ASV fasta files above. The rest of the columns are individual samples that were sequenced, these are the same individuals found in the barcode file above. For each gene used for MLST barcoding there are two ASV summary files, one for paired-end data and the other for single-end data.

Example use: For the paired-end_db_coxA.csv file we see that for individual cinAZ5a, OTU (ASV) 1 has 145 reads associated with it. We can then identify the ASV sequence by looking in the ASV_paired_coxA.fasta file above.

TEEseq ASV consensus:
This csv file contains the strain consensus for each individual and the strain consensus for each gene for both paired-end and single-end data. Consensus strain typing for each gene was calculated by comparing the number of reads for each ASV. Overall strain consensus was calculated by counting the consensus strains from each MLST gene. There are 16 columns in this file, described below.

pop = where the samples were collected from
ID  = individual ID for each sample
12 columns of strain consensus for each MLST gene (single and paired)
consensus = lists the consensus strain
