A possible scenario involving speciation of P. ruber at the Azores and subsequent transport of larvae to Europe, a process that may be still occurring nowadays, could explain this pattern of occurrence.engNortheastern AtlanticBiogeographyBlenniidaeMitochondrial ribosomal DNASpeciationjournal article
