Abstract

This paper evaluates the relationship between strategy of genome evolution and the robustness of DNA hybridizations data. Birds and primates differ significantly from Drosophila, plants and Cladophora in the ratio of NPH to ΔTme values. This difference is discussed from an evolutionary and molecular perspective. We conclude that the intensity and frequency of genome evolutionary processes (such as DNA turnover) not only hamper the ability to infer phylogenetic relationships, but also the ability to estimate time of divergence from the data. In the second section of this paper, single copy DNA of West European isolates of four Cladophora species: C. sericea, C. albida, C. pellucida and C. vagabunda was hybridized with DNA of conspecific West Atlantic isolates (in the case of C. pellucida with a related species, C. pellucidoidea). The high levels of DNA similarity found in the cold-temperate North Atlantic region are interpreted as resulting from a disruption in the biogeographic patterns during glacial periods and the re-establishment of the same or comparable patterns during interglacial periods. At lower latitudes, amphi-Atlantic isolates show more DNA divergence. Thermal isolation of the warm-temperate East and West Atlantic regions may date from the middle Miocene onwards. The effectiveness of the central Atlantic region as a dispersal barrier is thought to vary both as function of the adaptive plasticity of the species concerned and environmental changes over time.
