Robalo, Joana I.; Castilho, Rita; Francisco, Sara M.; Almada, Frederico; Knutsen, Halvor; Jorde, Per E.; Pereira, Ana M.; Almada, Vitor C.Pleistocene climate changes have imposed extreme conditions to intertidal rocky marine communities, forcing many species to significant range shifts in their geographical distributions. Phylogeographic analyses based on both mitochondrial and nuclear genetic markers provide a useful approach to unravel phylogeographic patterns and processes of species after this time period, to gain general knowledge of how cli...
