AB  - We use multilocus molecular data and species distribution modelling to investigate
the phylogenetics and the phylogeography of the White-backed Woodpecker
(Dendrocopos leucotos), a bird species widely distributed over the entire Palaearctic.
Our phylogenetic results reveal three well-supported clades within D. leucotos: the
Chinese endemic subspecies (tangi, insularis), the northerly distributed subspecies
(leucotos, uralensis) and the four poorly genetically differentiated Japanese subspecies
(subcirris, stejnegeri, namiyei, owstoni), and the south-western Palaearctic
lilfordi subspecies. According to our results, the Amami Woodpecker, endemic to
Amami Oshima Island (Ryukyu archipelago, Japan) sometimes treated as full species
Dendrocopos owstoni, does not deserve a species-level status. Based on the mitochondrial
phylogeographic results, the Japanese archipelago was recently colonized
only once by D. leucotos from eastern Eurasia. Our results suggest a split between
the leucotos and lilfordi lineages that dates back to mid-Pleistocene (around 0.6 Mya)
with likely no gene flow between these two subspecies since then. Our results thus
do not support a phylogeographic pattern in which Central Europe and Northern
Europe were recolonized from one or several southern glacial refugia where lilfordi
populations persisted through several Pleistocene glacial periods. Spatial variation in
mitochondrial diversity across leucotos/uralensis populations and niche ecological
modelling suggest a possible eastward population expansion from a unique glacial
refugium likely located in Central Europe. Molecular species delimitation methods,
gene flow analyses and differences in adult and juvenile plumage indicate that the
lilfordi subspecies may warrant to be ranked as a valid phylogenetic species. Further
studies are nevertheless needed in the Balkans, where leucotos and lilfordi came
recently into contact to measure the effectiveness of reproductive barriers and gene
flow.
