Sand Dune Speciation: 
Exploring the Evolutionary History of 
Trogloderus LeConte 
(Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) 
M. Andrew Johnston
Trogloderus LeConte 1879 
• Erected as a monotypic genus 
– 1 specimen from SW Idaho 
• Flightless 
• Psammophilic 
Trogloderus costatus LeConte 
– Eolian sand formations 
• Western U.S. distribution 
Dumont Dunes, CA 
Olancha Dunes, CA
Trogloderus LeConte 1879 
Tribe Amphidorini LeConte 1862 
• North American distribution 
• 6 genera, ~ 250 species 
• Most in Eleodes Eschscholtz 
Eleodes armatus LeConte
Taxonomic History 
Revised by La Rivers, 1946 
Trogloderus 
costatus 
costatus LeConte tuberculatus Blaisdell nevadus La Rivers vandykei La Rivers 
ssp. ssp. ssp. ssp. 
syn. pappi Kulzer syn. mayhewi Papp 
– 4 species subspecies 
– 2 more described later
Taxonomic History 
Revised by La Rivers, 1946 
• Invoked orthogenetic evolution 
• Hypothesized Trogloderus to be ancient
Research Questions 
• Does the current taxonomy capture actual 
diversity? 
• When and where did Trogloderus originate? 
• What are the patterns and processes of 
diversification across sand dunes?
Research Methods 
• Morphological analysis 
– 1,860 Trogloderus specimens 
– Evaluated morphotypes and their distributions 
• Molecular analysis 
– Phylogenetic reconstruction of Amphidorini 
• 77 taxa, 7 gene fragments 
– 3 nuclear, 4 mitochondrial 
• Aligned in MUSCLE 
• Partitioned by PartitionFinder 
• Analyzed by RAxML, MrBayes and BEAST

Great Basin dune formation 
• Late pleistocene 1-3 ma 
• Sand derived from dried 
pluvial lakes 
Owens Valley 
• Sand from Owens river 
• 10-35 ka 
Mojave Desert sand dunes 
• Sand from Mojave river 
• 10-35 ka
Trogloderus Distribution 
Unplaced Species 
• T. costatus LeConte 
• T. tuberculatus Blaisdell
Results 
• Does current taxonomy capture known 
diversity? 
– 5 species, 1 currently undescribed 
– 2 undescribed subspecies
Results 
• Does current taxonomy capture known 
diversity? 
• When and where did Trogloderus originate? 
– Likely a young lineage, perhaps with roots in 
Pleistocene 
– Area of origin unclear, perhaps in the Great Basin
Results 
• Does current taxonomy capture known 
diversity? 
• When and where did Trogloderus originate? 
• What are the patterns and processes of 
diversification? 
– Following recent sand formations, 10,000-35,000 
years ago 
– Mountains and rivers that stop sand, stop gene 
flow
Future Directions 
• Finalize taxonomic revision of the genus 
• Increase taxon and geographic sampling for 
phylogenetic analyses 
• Develop calibrated dating analyses 
• Compare Trogloderus to other dune specialist 
groups

Johnston ESA 2014 Trogloderus Sand Dune Speciation

  • 1. Sand Dune Speciation: Exploring the Evolutionary History of Trogloderus LeConte (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) M. Andrew Johnston
  • 2. Trogloderus LeConte 1879 • Erected as a monotypic genus – 1 specimen from SW Idaho • Flightless • Psammophilic Trogloderus costatus LeConte – Eolian sand formations • Western U.S. distribution Dumont Dunes, CA Olancha Dunes, CA
  • 3. Trogloderus LeConte 1879 Tribe Amphidorini LeConte 1862 • North American distribution • 6 genera, ~ 250 species • Most in Eleodes Eschscholtz Eleodes armatus LeConte
  • 4. Taxonomic History Revised by La Rivers, 1946 Trogloderus costatus costatus LeConte tuberculatus Blaisdell nevadus La Rivers vandykei La Rivers ssp. ssp. ssp. ssp. syn. pappi Kulzer syn. mayhewi Papp – 4 species subspecies – 2 more described later
  • 5. Taxonomic History Revised by La Rivers, 1946 • Invoked orthogenetic evolution • Hypothesized Trogloderus to be ancient
  • 6. Research Questions • Does the current taxonomy capture actual diversity? • When and where did Trogloderus originate? • What are the patterns and processes of diversification across sand dunes?
  • 7. Research Methods • Morphological analysis – 1,860 Trogloderus specimens – Evaluated morphotypes and their distributions • Molecular analysis – Phylogenetic reconstruction of Amphidorini • 77 taxa, 7 gene fragments – 3 nuclear, 4 mitochondrial • Aligned in MUSCLE • Partitioned by PartitionFinder • Analyzed by RAxML, MrBayes and BEAST

  • 20. Results • Does current taxonomy capture known diversity? • When and where did Trogloderus originate? – Likely a young lineage, perhaps with roots in Pleistocene – Area of origin unclear, perhaps in the Great Basin
  • 21. Results • Does current taxonomy capture known diversity? • When and where did Trogloderus originate? • What are the patterns and processes of diversification? – Following recent sand formations, 10,000-35,000 years ago – Mountains and rivers that stop sand, stop gene flow
  • 22. Future Directions • Finalize taxonomic revision of the genus • Increase taxon and geographic sampling for phylogenetic analyses • Develop calibrated dating analyses • Compare Trogloderus to other dune specialist groups
