Phylogeography and demographic history of Atherina presbyter (Pisces: Atherinid...
Francisco, S. M.; Castilho, Rita; Soares, M.; Congiu, L.; Brito, A. B.; Vieira, M. N.; Almada, V. C.A fragment of the mitochondrial control region was used to assess phylogeographic patterns and historical demography of the sand-smelt Atherina presbyter in the North-eastern Atlantic, covering its geographical range. A striking result is the highly marked diVerentiation between the Canary Islands population and western European ones. A genetic structure among European populations of A. presbyter was revealed, ...
