ABSTRACT. - Operculate land snails of the genus Cyclophorus are distributed widely in sub-tropical and tropical Asia. Shell morphology is traditionally used for species identification in Cyclophorus but their shells exhibit considerable variation both within and between populations; species limits have been extremely difficult to determine and are poorly understood. Many currently recognized species have discontinuous distributions over large ranges but geographical barriers and low mobility of snails are likely to have led to long periods of isolation resulting in cryptic speciation of allopatric populations. As a contribution towards solving these problems, we reconstructed the molecular phylogeny of 87 Cyclophorus specimens, representing 29 nominal species (of which one was represented by four subspecies), plus three related out-group species. Molecular phylogenetic analyses were used to investigate geographic limits and speciation scenarios. The analyses of COI, 16S rRNA and 28S rRNA gene fragments were performed using neighbour-joining (NJ), maximum likelihood (ML), and Bayesian inference (BI) methods. All the obtained phylogenetic trees were congruent with each other and in most cases confirmed the species level classification. However, at least three nominate species were polyphyletic. Both C. fulguratus and C. volvulus appear to be species complexes, suggesting that populations of these species from different geographical areas of Thailand are cryptic species. C. aurantiacus pernobilis is distinct and likely to be a different species from the other members of the C. aurantiacus species complex.

1. Introduction The Cyclophoridae are dioecious terrestrial caeonogastropod snails with a long fossil record extending from the Mesozoic era (Gordon and Olson, 1995; Kongim et al., 2006) and with a wide current geographical distribution: Southern Europe, Central America, Asia, Africa, various Pacific islands and Australia (Kobelt, 1902; Solem, 1959). The most broadly used classification for the Cyclophoridae is that of Kobelt (1902). He classified the cyclophorids based on shell, opercular and radular characters, but whilst this undoubtedly reflects some of the broad relationships, it is of little value below the subfamily level (Solem, 1956). Currently, the Cyclophoridae is comprised of about 870 species arranged in three subfamilies and 35 genera (Kobelt, 1902, 1908; Wenz, 1938; Vaught, 1989; Bouchet and Rocroi, 2005; Lee et al., 2008b). The genus Cyclophorus Montfort, 1810 is the most species rich genus in the family Cyclophoridae with over 100 described species distributed from South Asia to Southeast Asia and including the south of China, Korea and Japan (Reeve, 1862; Kobelt, 1902, 1908; Gude, 1921; Pilsbry, 1916, 1926; Benthem Jutting, 1948, 1949; Solem, 1959, 1966; Minato and Habe, 1982). Members of Cyclophorus have a distinctive large solid, low conical shell form with a thin and multispiral operculum. They are “grounddwelling” in leaf litter, under logs etc. and occur in a wide range of forest habitats from evergreen rainforest to monsoon deciduous forest. In Thailand, the highest densities occur in limestone forest (Kobelt, 1902, 1908; Gude, 1921; Solem, 1959). The validity of the nominal Cyclophorus species level classification is not clear because of the degree of shell variation within and between nominated species and the limited number of characters available in Cyclophorus shells. Kobelt (1902) classified Cyclophorus into eight subgenera while Vaught (1989) rearranged Cyclophorus into five subgenera. Few descriptions of the internal anatomy, including reproductive organs have been published for Cyclophorus (Tielecke, 1940; Kasinathan, 1975). Available information demonstrates a high degree of similarity for internal anatomy within Cyclophorus that does not provide robust characters for recognizing species level categories (Welber, 1925; Kongim et al., 2006). Thus there has been little advance on the use of characters based on shell morphology, including shell size, shape, colour pattern and peristome morphology (e.g. Reeve, 1862; Kobelt, 1902, 1908; Gude, 1921). Environmental factors can greatly affect shell morphology (Uit de Weerd et al. 2004; Lee et al. 2008 a, 2008b; Elejalde et al., 2009) and homoplasy confounds the recognition of biological species of Cyclophorus. Species limits in Cyclophorus are notoriously difficult to establish with numerous geographically isolated populations exhibiting seemingly minor differences in their morphology. There is evidence to suggest that Cyclophorus was important in the diet of Stone Age cave dwellers in Oriental regions (Rabett et al., 2011). In the present day, these edible snails have been utilized for food in many parts of Thailand, Laos and Vietnam (Oakley, 1964; Paz and Solheim, 2004). However, the number of Cyclophorus snails seems to have dropped (Hildyard, 2001) most likely due to a range of contributing factors such as changes in the environmental conditions around snails‟ habitats especially in limestone areas and improper snail harvesting (Clements et al., 2006). Recent work has focused on systematic research and development of conservation strategies (Clements et al., 2008). In addition to its intrinsic scientific interest, a reliable taxonomy is important for avoiding the mistaken treatment of multi-species genera as a single taxon that may fail to effectively regulate their conservation. There is therefore practical conservation value in the recognition of Cyclophorus cryptic species (Kongim et al., 2006; Prasankok et al., 2009).

Over the past decade, sequence data has been used to help clarify problems in systematics and evolution where morphological and physiological characters have proven to be ambiguous (Vogler and Monaghan, 2007). Studies on land snail phylogeny using molecular DNA sequences have suggested that such approaches are potentially useful (e.g. Harasewych, 1998; Wade et al., 2006; Colgan et al., 2007; Lee et al., 2008a, 2008b). The genes most commonly used for land snail systematics, at various taxonomic levels are the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) and16S rRNA genes and the nuclear ribosomal RNA genes (e.g. Harasewych, 1998; Wade et al., 2006; Colgan et al. 2007; Liew et al., 2009). They provide a highly effective tool to resolve taxonomic problems and identify cryptic species (Paquin and Hedin, 2004). These genes have been found to be suitable for use at the generic level in cyclophorids, revealing that the evolution of morphological and ecological traits occurs at extremely high rates during adaptive radiation, especially in fragmented environments (Sanders et al., 2006; Lee et al., 2008a, 2008b). The work reported here is the first molecular phylogenetic study of the genus Cyclophorus in Thailand.
2. Material and Methods 2.1 Taxon sampling and identification Eighty seven specimens of Cyclophorus, attributed to 29 nominal species (Figure 1), including the type species Cyclophorus volvulus (Müller, 1774) and, for one of these, four nominal subspecies, were collected from 67 localities in Thailand and 7 additional localities in Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia and Japan (Figure 2 and Table 1) representing approximately 30% of the total nominal species of the genus. Tissue samples were fixed and preserved in 95% (v/v) ethanol. Ethanol was changed at least twice to eliminate water content of the samples. Vouchers were preserved in 70% (v/v) ethanol for anatomical study. Provisional identification of species was based upon shell morphology, making use the literature (Reeve, 1862; Kobelt, 1902, 1908; Benthem Jutting, 1948, 1949) and by examination of reference collections, including type material in the following museums: The Natural History Museum, London (NHMUK); Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt (SMF); The Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (RBINS); Zoological Museum University of Copenhagen, Denmark (ZMUC) and the Chulalongkorn University Museum of Zoology (CUMZ), Bangkok, Thailand. 2.2 DNA extraction, PCR amplification and sequencing Total genomic DNA was extracted from approximately 3–5 mm3 of foot tissue from each individual using a DNAeasy Tissue Kit (QIAGEN Inc.), and was then stored at –20 ºC until use. The COI and 16S rRNA mitochondrial genes and 28S rRNA nuclear gene were amplified by PCR using the primers LCOI490 (5‟GGTCAACAAATCATAAAGATATTGG-3‟) and HCO2198 (5‟TAAACTTCAGGGTGACCAAAAAATCA-3‟) for the COI gene (Folmer et al., 1994), 16sar (5'-CGCCTGTTTATCAAAAACAT-3') and 16sbr (5'-CCGGTCTGAACTCAGATCACGT3') for the16S rRNA gene (Kessing et al., 1989) and 28SF4 (5'AGTACCGTGAGGGAAAGTTG-3') and 28SR5 (5'- ACGGGACGGGCCGGTGGTGC-3') for the 28S rRNA gene (Morgan et al., 2002). For all genes PCR reactions were undertaken in a 50 µl final volume using 25 µl of 2xIllustra hot starts master mix (GE Healthcare), 10µM of each primer and about 10 ng of DNA template. For COI, thermal cycling was at 94 °C for 2 min, followed by 36 cycles of 94 °C for 30 s, 42 °C for 2 min, and 72 °C for 2 min, and
168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 197 198 199 200 201 202 203 204 205 206 207 208 209 210 211 212 213 214 215 216 217
then a final extension step of 72 °C for 5 min. For 16S rRNA and 28S rRNA, thermal cycling was performed in the same way with the exception that the annealing temperature was changed to 50 °C for 30 s and the extension time to 90 s. The amplified products were checked following 1% (w/v) agarose gel electrophoresis resolution in 0.5x TBE buffer and visualized with SYBR Safe and UV Transillumination. The PCR products were purified using a QIAquick purification Kit protocol (QIAGEN Inc.). The amplified PCR products were directly cycle-sequenced using the original amplification primers with the sequencing reaction products run on an Applied Biosystems automatic sequencer (ABI 3730XL) at Macrogen, Inc. (Korea). The DNA sequences were compared with sequences from the GenBank database by using the BLASTn algorithm to confirm the homology of the amplification products to targeted genes. 2.3 Sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis Sequences were edited with reference to the trace data and aligned using MUSCLE version 3.6 (Edgar, 2004). The alignments were improved manually where necessary by using MEGA 5.0 (Tamura et al., 2011). Ambiguous regions and gaps in the alignment were excluded from the dataset. 660 nucleotide sites were unambiguously aligned across all taxa for the COI fragment, with 396 unambiguously aligned nucleotide sites for 16S rRNA and 585 unambiguously aligned nucleotide sites for 28S rRNA. The COI, 16S rRNA and 28S rRNA sequences were checked for saturation and phylogenetic signal using DAMBE v. 4.5.33 (Xia and Xie, 2001) and through plotting uncorrected pairwise transition and transversion distances against total uncorrected distances in order to visualize saturation and identify the taxa responsible. For COI, saturation tests were performed using all codon positions and each codon position individually. All base frequencies and molecular character statistics were calculated using MEGA 5.0 (Tamura et al., 2011). Phylogenetic analyses were undertaken using the following datasets; all codon positions of COI (660 bp), first and second codon positions of COI (440 bp), 16S rRNA (396 bp), 28S rRNA (585 bp), concatenated COI (all codon positions) and 16S rRNA (1056 bp), concatenated COI (1st and 2nd codon positions only) and 16S rRNA (839 bp) and concatenated COI (all codon positions), 16S rRNA and 28S rRNA (1641 bp). Details are shown in Table 3. Heterogeneity in base composition between sequences is known to affect phylogenetic inference (Lockhart et al. 1994), so we tested the variation in base pair composition among sequences for the datasets using a χ2 analysis, as implemented in PAUP* v4.0b10 (Swofford, 2003). In order to assess the validity of combining datasets a partition homogeneity test (Farris et al. 1994) was undertaken in PAUP 4.0b10, using 100 replicates (Swofford, 2003). Phylogenetic trees of all 32 taxa (including 3 outgroup taxa) were constructed using neighbor-joining (NJ), maximum likelihood (ML), and Bayesian inference (BI). The phylogenetic trees were rooted on Cyclotus, Leptopoma and Rhiostoma genera that have been suggested to be close relatives of the genus Cyclophorus and fall within the same family (Colgan et al., 2007; Lee et al., 2008a, b). For all methods, correction for multiple hits was made using the general time-reversible (GTR) model (Lanave et al., 1984), with between-site rate heterogeneity taken into account by combining gamma correction (G) into the model (Gu et al., 1995). This model was found to be the most appropriate substitution model for all datasets using jModeltest 0.1.1 (Posada, 2008). NJ analysis was undertaken using PAUP* v4.0b10 (Swofford, 2003) with model parameters, including the rate matrix, base frequencies and gamma shape parameter () of the gamma distribution (based on 16 rate categories) estimated using likelihood based on iteration from an initial NJ tree. The iteration process

was repeated with estimated parameters used for subsequent rounds of tree building until no further improvement in likelihood score was obtained. Bootstrap resampling (Felsenstein, 1985) with 1000 replicates was undertaken to assign support to branches in the NJ tree. ML analysis was undertaken using RAxML v7.2.6 (Stamatakis, 2006). Bootstrap resampling (Felsenstein, 1985) via the rapid bootstrap procedure of Stamatakis et al. (2008) was undertaken to assign support to branches in the ML tree. BI analysis was performed using MrBayes version 3.1.2 (Huelsenbeck and Ronquist, 2001), with the tree space explored using four chains of a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm (MCMC). The Bayesian analysis was run for 3 million generations (heating parameter = 0.03), sampling every 100 generations. The first 58002 trees were discarded as burnin, such that the final consensus tree was built using the last 2000 trees. In addition, we also analyzed our concatenated COI (all codon positions), 16S rRNA and 28S rRNA (1641 bp) dataset under the phylogenetic mixture model approach (Ronquist and Huelsenbeck, 2003). The analyses under the various assumed partitions were run using HKY+I+G for COI, GTR+G for 16S rRNA and GTR+G for 28S rRNA. 2.4 Phylogenetic networks In order to evaluate the structure and possible reticulating relationships Neighbour Net analysis (Huson and Bryant, 2006) were undertaken for the widespread species, C. fulguratus and C. volvulus using concatenated COI (all codon position), 16S rRNA and 28S rRNA sequences. This allowed additional sites to be recruited into the analysis with 1739 unambiguously aligned sites for C. fulguratus and 1745 sites for C. volvulus. Neighbour Net alaysis was performed using the GTR+G model computed using SplitsTree version 4.11.3 (Huson and Bryant, 2006). Bootstrap support for splits was conducted with 1000 replicates. The dataset was also evaluated for homoplasy using the homoplasy index (PHI) statistic (Bruen et al., 2006) using SplitsTree version 4.11.3 to test for recombination within the sequences. 2.5 Supplemental analyses of the COI gene incorporating Genbank data An additional 232 COI sequences (630 bp) of Cyclophorus from Genbank (HM753719.1-HM753950.1) enabled the inclusion of an additional 10 Cyclophorus sp. and 4 subspecies from three new countries (Japan, Taiwan and China) into our analyses. Phylogenetic analyses were undertaken as above (section 2.3) using NJ, ML and BI methods and incorporating a GTR+G model. 2.6 GenBank Accession Numbers Nucleotide sequences of this study have been deposited in GenBank under accession numbers JX474562 - JX474651 for COI, JX474652 - JX474741 for the 16S rRNA fragment and KF319126-KF319215 for the 28S rRNA, and are shown in Table 1.

The aligned 660 bp sequence of the COI dataset comprising all codon positions had 38.3% GC content [range 36.97% GC to 42.48% GC, χ2 test=141.7596 d.f.=267, P=1.000], 292 (16.6%) parsimony informative and 310 variable sites (46.97%). The uncorrected pdistance between the taxa ranged from 0.000 to 0.264 [inter/intraspecific p-distances = 0.142 and 0.052, respectively]. Stop codons were absent in all codon positions of COI sequences. Therefore, we assumed that no pseudogenes were accidentally sequenced. Transition, transversion and p-distances estimated from MEGA 5.0 were used in the saturation tests. The results of the saturation test using DAMBE v. 4.5.33 (Xia and Xie, 2001) did not show evidence for saturation in a symmetrical tree of the dataset, with an index of substitution saturations (ISS) value of 0.411, which was significantly lower than the critical saturation value (ISS.C) of 0.719, P<0.0001. However, the ISS value was higher than the ISS.C value of 0.392 for an asymmetrical tree although not significantly so P=0.4669 (N=32) and such asymmetrical trees are possibly not realistic for the dataset. This suggests that there is still sufficient phylogenetic information in the all codon positions of COI. Moreover, the saturation plots suggested no evidence of saturation for the ingroup data though some evidence for some saturation when outgroups were included. The aligned 16S rRNA gene fragment (396 bp), after exclusion of ambiguously aligned nucleotide positions, had 39.6% GC content [range 37.63% GC to 42.42% GC, χ2 test = 44.042137 d.f.=267, P=1.000], with 147 (37.1%) parsimony informative and 182 (46.0%) variable sites. The result of the DAMBE test did not detect saturation in the sequences. The results showed an ISS value of 0.146, which was significantly lower than the critical saturation value (ISS.C) of 0.691 for a symmetrical and 0.362 for an asymmetrical tree topology, P<0.0001. Moreover, the saturation plot did not show evidence of saturation. The uncorrected p- distance between the taxa ranged from 0.000 to 0.230 [inter/intraspecific pdistances = 0.098 and 0.0171, respectively]. The aligned 28S rRNA gene fragment (585 bp), after exclusion of ambiguously aligned nucleotide positions, had 59.8% GC content [range 58.97% GC to 61.20% GC, χ2 test = 17.138669 d.f.=267, P=1.000], with 97 (16.6%) parsimony informative and 197 (33.7%) variable sites. The result of the DAMBE test did not detect saturation in the sequences. The results showed an ISS value of 0.083, which was significantly lower than the critical saturation value (ISS.C) of 0.711 for a symmetrical and 0.383 for an asymmetrical tree topology, P<0.0001. Moreover, the saturation plot did not show evidence of saturation. The uncorrected p- distance between the taxa ranged from 0.000 to 0.214 [inter/intraspecific pdistances = 0.022 and 0.004, respectively]. The concatenated data set of all codons of COI, 16S rRNA and 28S rRNA (1641 bp) had 46.3% GC content [range 44.79% GC to 48.87% GC, χ2 test = 87.342328 d.f.=267, P=1.000], with 535 (32.6%) parsimony informative and 689 (41.9%) variable sites. The results of a partition homogeneity test by PAUP 4.0b10, using 100 replicates (Swofford, 2003) showed no significant differences were found between markers (P = 0.095). The result of the DAMBE test did not detect saturation in the sequences. The results showed an ISS value of 0.298, which was significantly lower than the critical saturation value (ISS.C) of 0.779 for a symmetrical and 0.501 for an asymmetrical tree topology, P<0.0001. Moreover, the saturation plot did not show evidence of saturation. The uncorrected p-distance between the taxa ranged from 0.000 to 0.217 [inter/intraspecific p-distances = 0.082 and 0.025, respectively]. A summary of the molecular data is shown in Table 2 and 3. 3.2. Phylogenetic analyses The phylogenetic trees reconstructed using the NJ, ML and BI methods were highly congruent, with almost identical topologies and with the same supported nodes for all major

clades (data not shown), and with all datasets. The ML phylogenetic tree based on the concatenated dataset of all codons of COI, 16S rRNA and 28S rRNA (1641 nucleotide sites) is shown in Figure 3. Cyclophorus was separated into two principal clades (clades 1 and 2, Figure 3) with strong support (100% NJ bootstraps, 100% ML bootstraps and posterior probability (PP) =1 in BI for clade 1 and 99% NJ, 100% ML, 1 PP for clade 2). Clade 1 comprised the sole species C. perdix tuba from Malaysia, whilst clade 2 comprised the remainder of the Cyclophorus species. Clade 2 was further subdivided into two major subclades; clade 2a that includes C. semisulcatus, C. jourdyi, C. herklotsi and C. turgidus (95% NJ, 97% ML, 1 PP) and clade 2b that includes all of the Thai Cyclophorus as well as C. songmaensis from Vietnam and C. bensoni from Laos (90% NJ, 94% ML, 0.96 PP). Of the 29 nominal species (Figure 1), 25 were monophyletic and strongly supported in greater than 77% of NJ and ML bootstrap replicates and PP>0.91 in BI (in Figure 3). The individual genes generally supported the monophyly of most Cyclophorus species, but yielded poor resolution (data not shown). The molecular trees provided strong support indicating that 3 species, C. fulguratus, C. volvulus, and C. aurantiacus, were not monophyletic. Cyclophorus fulguratus fell in 4 well-supported locations in the trees (labeled 1f, 2f, 3f and 4f in Figure 3). The first group (1f) from West and Central Thailand was most closely related to C. volvulus (99% NJ, 100% ML, 1 PP) also from West Thailand. The second group (2f) from upper Northeastern Thailand was most closely related to C. consociatus (100% NJ, 100% ML, 1 PP). A single individual (3f) from lower Northeastern Thailand fell immediately outside the C. consociatus and C. fulguratus 2f cluster (92% NJ, 96% ML, 1 PP). A further individual (4f) from East Thailand clustered with C. speciosus (99% NJ, 100% ML, 1 PP). Cyclophorus volvulus fell in 3 well-supported locations in the trees (labeled 1v, 2v and 3v in Figure 3). The first group (1v) from West Thailand was most closely related to C. fulguratus 1f (99% NJ, 100% ML, 1 PP) also from West Thailand. Group 2 (2v) from East and Central Thailand was most closely related to C. labiosus (94% NJ, 96% ML, 0.99 PP). A single individual (3v) from North Thailand clustered with C. subfloridus (99% NJ, 98% ML, 1 PP). Finally, C. aurantiacus was not monophyletic in our trees with C. a. pernobilis falling separately to the other subspecies (87% NJ, 89% ML bootstrap support and 1 PP in the concatenated COI/16S/28S dataset, see Figure 3). Within the main C. aurantiacus group the subspecies, C. a. aurantiacus, C. a. nevilli and C. a. andersoni fell as monophyletic units (Figure 3). The monophyly of a 4th species C. consociatus proved equivocal in all analyses. C. consociatus was poorly resolved in the concatenated COI, 16S rRNA and 28S rRNA (Figure 3) and the individual genes analyses. For supplementary analysis, C. pfeifferi appeared to be paraphyletic in the mtDNA tree (Figure S1) though with low support: 50% NJ, 53% ML, 0.59 PP but was recovered as a monophyletic unit in trees based on concatenated COI, 16S rRNA and 28S rRNA (93% NJ, 97% ML, 1 PP, Figure 3). C. malayanus was poorly resolved in the mtDNA tree (Figure S1) and COI tree but were recovered as a monophyletic unit in trees based on concatenated COI, 16S rRNA and 28S rRNA (91% NJ, 97% ML, 1 PP for C. malayanus). C. consociatus was poorly resolved in all analysis. C. bensoni appeared to be polyphyletic in the COI analyses (62% NJ, 62% ML, 0.77 PP, Supplemental analyses –Figure S3). 3.3. Phylogenetic networks of C. fulguratus and C. volvulus Neighbour Net networks of C. fulguratus and C. volvulus were consistent with the phylogeny (Figure 4). C. fulguratus (Figure 4A) was dispersed in four splits that correspond to WesternCentral Thailand (split I in Fig 4, 1f in Fig 3), upper Northeastern Thailand (split II in Fig 4, 2f in Fig 3), lower Northeastern Thailand (split III in Fig 4, 3f in Fig 3) and Eastern Thailand
367 368 369 370 371 372 373 374 375 376 377 378 379 380 381 382 383 384 385 386 387 388 389 390 391 392 393 394 395 396 397 398 399 400 401 402 403 404 405 406 407 408 409 410 411 412 413 414 415 416
(split IV in Fig 4; 4f in Fig 3). For C. volvulus (Figure 4B), the sequences were distributed in 3 main splits with Western Thailand (split I in Fig 4, 1v in Fig 3), Eastern-Central Thailand (split II in Fig 4, 2v in Fig 3), and Northern Thailand (split III in Fig 4, 3v in Fig 3). The PHI test for recombination did not find statistically significant evidence for recombination in either C. fulguratus (PHI test; P = 0.5681) or C. volvulus (PHI test; P = 0.3464). 3.4 Supplemental analyses of the COI gene incorporating Genbank data The inclusion of an additional 232 COI sequences of Cyclophorus from Genbank (HM753719.1-HM753950.1) enabled the incorporation of an additional 10 Cyclophorus sp. and 4 subspecies from 3 countries into our analyses (Supplemental analyses –Figure S3). Consistent with our concatenated COI, 16S and 28S rRNA tree (Figure 3), the Cyclophorus sequences fell into 2 principal clades: clade 1, comprising the sole species C. perdix tuba from Malaysia, and clade 2, comprising the remainder of the Cyclophorus species. Clade 2 was further subdivided into two major subclades; clade 2a that includes sequences from China, Vietnam, Malaysia and Taiwan and clade 2b that includes all of the Thai Cyclophorus as well as C. songmaensis from Vietnam and C. bensoni from Laos. The tree generally supported the monophyly of Cyclophorus species with 35 of 43 species appearing to be monophyletic in the COI gene tree, though 8 of 43 species appeared to be polyphyletic based on analyses of just the COI gene (Figure S3). Interestingly, C. jourdyi from Vietnam and C. semisulcatus from Malaysia appeared to be related with the Cyclophorus sp. from China. Overall the results of the analyses of the COI gene (including sequences from Genbank) showed consistent information in the placement of the Thai clade (clade 2b) in the broad Cyclophorus phylogeny.
4. Discussion Land snails are powerful research tools for investigating evolutionary processes. However, their traditional classification is based on morphological characters that are liable to extensive homoplasy. Cyclophorus shows some interesting questions on convergence and polymorphism of shell color, patterns and shapes. Critical studies of stylommatophoran land snail reproductive systems have probably led to a much better understanding of species limits in these pulmonate snails than is the case with terrestrial Caenogastropoda where the basis of morphospecies recognition has largely been dependent on variation in shell characters. Conversely, conservative shell forms may conceal cryptic species; these two trends combine to make species limits based on morphology difficult to recognize. The present study is the first investigation of the relationships of members of Cyclophorus in Thailand using DNA sequence based systematics. The phylogenetic trees showed good resolution in clarifying the taxonomy and relationships in Cyclophorus with consistent results obtained with different genes (COI, 16S rRNA and 28S rRNA) and with different analytical methods (NJ, ML and BI). Most (25/29) but not all nominate species appeared to be monophyletic. 4.1 Evolutionary relationships within Cyclophorus The phylogenetic tree presented in Figure 3 (ML analysis of the combined all codon positions of COI, 16S rRNA and 28S rRNA sequences) does not conflict with the analysis of the three genes separately or by the analysis with ML, NJ or BI (data not shown). For some species (e.g. C. pfeifferi, C. malayanus, C. consociatus and C. bensoni) for which the relationships inferred in the concatenated COI, 16S rRNA and 28S rRNA tree (Figure 3)
417 418 419 420 421 422 423 424 425 426 427 428 429 430 431 432 433 434 435 436 437 438 439 440 441 442 443 444 445 446 447 448 449 450 451 452 453 454 455 456 457 458 459 460 461 462 463 464 465 466
differed from those inferred in analyses based on other datasets. These differences and/or lack of resolution are consistent with the pattern we would expect if many or all genes shared the same history, but some of them individually contained too little information relative to stochastic noise to support clades. This supports the idea that concatenation can overcome misleading homoplasy (Townsend et al., 2011). We note also the possibility that mitochondrial introgression can mislead phylogenetic analyses, but as our analyses were based on both nuclear and mitochondrial markers, and analyses of the nuclear 28S rRNA gene (Supplemental analyses – Figure S2) gave identical results with mtDNA (Supplemental analyses – Figure S1) and concatenated datasets (Figure 3), it seems improbable that introgression has had any major effect on our phylogenies. In the molecular tree (Figure 3), Cyclophorus divides into two major clades (clades 1 and 2), with C. perdix tuba from Malaysia the sole species in clade 1 and with the remaining Cyclophorus species in clade 2. The sole species of C. perdix tuba (Clade 1, Figure 3) also showed some distinctive morphological characters (unique colour patterns, more prominent keel, a conical shape but with peculiar trumpet shaped dilatation of the ultimate whorl towards the aperture and it also possesses a unique line around the suture.) when compared to the rest of the Cyclophorus group. Moreover, the p-distance between C. perdix tuba and those species in clade 2 was 16% and 19% in the 16S rRNA and COI genes, respectively. We note similar genetic distances have been inferred to be indicative of distinct genera in studies of other land snails (Köhler, 2011). Clade 2 was further divided into two subgroups, the minor clade 2a comprised the non-Thai species, and the main clade 2b comprised all of the Thai species plus one species from each of Laos and Vietnam. Thus both Laos and Vietnam have close relatives to Thai Cyclophorus. The inferred phylogenetic tree suggests that similar morphologies appeared independently and rapidly in different lineages. Shells of Cyclophorus commonly reveal complicated dark brown colour patterns that likely function to disguise them from predators and are therefore likely to be homoplasious. The supplemental analysis (Supplemental analyses –Figure S3), in which we incorporated additional COI sequences from Genbank, allowed us to explore Cyclophorus relationships in greater detail both through the inclusion of additional Cyclophorus species and the inclusion of samples from over a wider geographical range. On the whole, the monophyly of Cyclophorus species was generally supported, though 8 of 43 species appeared to be polyphyletic based on analyses of just the COI gene (Figure S3). Moreover, the wider geographic sampling has revealed that clade 2a includes sequences from China and Taiwan, as well as sequences from Malaysia, Japan and Vietnam. Clade 2b remains unchanged with the inclusion of all of the Thai Cyclophorus as well as C. songmaensis from Vietnam and C. bensoni from Laos. We note that most Cyclophorus species from clade 2a have a small size (about 2-3 cm) with a simple aperture while snails from clade 2b show various sizes (about 36.5 cm) with a diverse morphology. 4.2 Taxonomic implications Recent work on Cyclophorus has indicated that there are likely to be a number of cryptic species (Kongim et al., 2006; Prasankok et al., 2009). Whilst most species of Cyclophorus sampled here correspond with molecular tree placements, some polyphyletic groups can be identified. Three morphological species are not monophyletic on molecular criteria and most likely represent cryptic species or complexes. (1) C. fulguratus in groups 1f, 2f, 3f and 4f. (2) C. volvulus in groups 1v, 2v and 3v and (3) C. aurantiacus in group 1a and C. aurantiacus pernobilis in group 2a. In the case of C. fulguratus, the specimens divided into four well supported clades; 1f from Western Thailand, 2f from upper Northeastern Thailand, 3f from lower Northeastern
467 468 469 470 471 472 473 474 475 476 477 478 479 480 481 482 483 484 485 486 487 488 489 490 491 492 493 494 495 496 497 498 499 500 501 502 503 504 505 506 507 508 509 510 511 512 513 514 515 516
Thailand and 4f from Eastern Thailand. Neighbour Net networks were also consistent with the phylogenetic trees with individuals distributed in four splits (Figure 4A) and with high bootstrap support. Furthermore, PHI analysis did not detect evidence of recombination (p>0.05) between the four subpopulations. Our molecular findings are consistent with previous observations of variation in karyotypes (Kongim et al., 2006) and allozymes (Prasankok et al., 2009). Based on analysis of karyotype variation, Kongim et al. (2006) separated C. fulguratus into two distinct groups (species) with populations from Central Thailand having a 12m + 2sm karyotype and those from Northeastern Thailand having a 13m + 1sm karyotype, consistent with the principal division of C. fulguratus haplotypes in our tree. Moreover, allozyme analysis revealed large genetic divergences between populations from Central Thailand and those from Northeastern Thailand as well as large genetic divergences between populations from Central and Eastern Thailand (Prasankok et al., 2009), congruent with the separate phylogenetic placement of C. fulguratus from Western-Central Thailand versus Northeastern and Eastern parts of Thailand, observed here. Cyclophorus fulguratus thus appears to represent several separate cryptic species that show convergent patterns of morphological evolution. Previous studies have suggested that these distinct clades are allopatric (Kongim et al., 2006; Prasankok et al., 2009). In this regard, the low motility of the snail, coupled with the separation of different geographical populations by geographical barriers, such as fragments of mountain ranges (the Phu Phan range in Northeast Thailand, the Tenasserim range in Western Thailand and the Sankamphaeng and Cardamom ranges in Eastern Thailand) led to allopatric speciation. We propose that increased physical and environmental heterogeneity over time delivered chances for localized allopatry (Mayr, 1963). For C. volvulus, individuals are separated into three well-supported clades; group 1v from Western Thailand, group 2v from Eastern-Central Thailand and group 3v from Northern Thailand. Neighbor Net networks were consistent with the phylogenetic trees with individuals distributed in three splits (Figure 4B) with high bootstrap support. Moreover, the PHI analysis did not detect evidence of recombination (p>0.05) between the three subpopulations. Thus, our findings reveal evidence for the likelihood of allopatric speciation within C. volvulus sensu lato. Allopatric speciation is related geographic isolation most likely due to mountain ranges in Western Thailand (split I; Figure 4B) and Central-Eastern Thailand (split II; Figure 4B). Cyclophorus aurantiacus falls in two separate locations in the phylogenetic tree with the subspecies C. a. pernobilis (1a) falling separately to a group comprising C. a. aurantiacus, C. a. nevilli and C. a. andersoni (2a). It seems likely that geographical isolation between C. a. pernobilis in the West and the other C. aurantiacus subspecies in the South has led to allopatric speciation. Moreover, C. a. pernobilis exhibits a significantly different morphology when compared to the subspecies in the South. Cyclophorus aurantiacus pernobilis was originally identified as Cyclostoma pernobilis by Gould in 1843 and transferred to the genus Cyclophorus by Hanley and Theobald, 1870. Kobelt (1902) placed this nominal species as a subspecies of C. aurantiacus. However, our analyses support Gould (1843) and Hanley and Theobald (1870) who recognized C. pernobilis (Gould, 1843) as a distinct species.
5. Conclusion This work is the first molecular phylogenetic study of Cyclophorus in Thailand; 87 individuals of 29 nominal species (and four subspecies for one of these) were included with three outgroup genera. Phylogenetic placement of most (25/29) Cyclophorus species
517 518 519 520 521 522 523 524 525 526 527 528 529 530 531 532 533 534 535
corresponded with traditional shell-based morphospecies. However, C. fulguratus and C. volvulus are resolved as cryptic species complexes, supporting previous conclusions based on karyotype and allozyme variation (Kongim et al., 2006; Prasankok et al., 2009). Cyclophorus aurantiacus perbobilis fell in a distinct lineage from the other members of the C. a. aurantiacus group, which supports its original classification as a separate species (C. pernobilis) by Gould (1843) rather than the subsequent subspecies classification of C. a. perbobilis by Kobelt (1902). The monophyly of C. consociatus proved equivocal. Cyclophorus is one of the most diverse land snail groups both morphologically and taxonomically (Kobelt, 1902). The mtDNA and nucDNA provided a powerful tool for investigating relationships within the genus and for recognizing genetically divergent and morphologically cryptic lineages. The phylogenetic results raise many questions about the species complexes that still remain to be answered. Allopatric cryptic species are likely to be widespread throughout the range of Cyclophorus and in other terrestrial caeonogastropod land snails where systematic studies have largely been restricted to shell-based morphospecies. This has important consequences for conservation because of the possible existence of a large number of what might be highly localized and endangered species that have so far not even been recognized.
