| dc.description.abstract | Phylogeography of Diplodus sargus from the northeastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean was assessed using sequences from the mitochondrial control region and the first intron of the S7 ribosomal protein gene. The relationship between genetic and geographic distances supported an isolation by distance model, with the Azores having a peripheral position. The geographic distribution of the genetic diversity, together with the historical demography of the populations studied can be explained by the effect of the Pleistocene glaciations in the northeastern Atlantic warm water fauna. D. sargus might have disappeared from western Europe during glacial peaks and suffered considerable demographic reductions in the Canaries and Mauritania, surviving in less affected areas such as Madeira, Azores and the Mediterranean. The mismatch analysis and the Fu's Fs values provide clear evidence of expansion in western Iberia (S. Pedro), Canaries, Mauritania and also in the eastern Mediterranean. Atlantic and Mediterranean populations of D. sargus showed no signs of genetic differentiation. D. sargus are active swimmers that can undergo extensive movements along the shores. This and the presence of planktonic eggs and larvae would allow rapid mixing between Mediterranean and Atlantic fish, erasing signs of population differentiation. | por |
