Three mitochondrial lineages and no Atlantic-Mediterranean barrier for the bogu...
Cunha, Regina L.; Faleh, Abderraouf Ben; Francisco, Sara; Šanda, Radek; Vukić, Jasna; Corona, Luana; Dia, Mamadou; Glavičić, Igor; Kassar, AbderrahmaneMarine species exhibiting wide distributional ranges are frequently subdivided into discrete genetic units over limited spatial scales. This is often due to specific life-history traits or oceanographic barriers that prevent gene flow. Fine-scale sampling studies revealed distinct phylogeographic patterns in the northeastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean, ranging from panmixia to noticeable population genetic ...
Putting European lampreys into perspective: A global‐scale multilocus phylogeny...
Pereira, Ana; Levy, André; Vukić, Jasna; Šanda, Radek; Levin, Boris; Freyhof, Jörg; Geiger, Matthias; Choleva, Lukáš; Francisco, Sara M.; Robalo, JoanaPrevious studies on the phylogenetic relationships between lamprey species relied either on a low number of morphological characters related to the feeding apparatus, or on a low number of molecular mitochondrial DNA markers. Here, we apply a multilocus approach to assess the phylogenetic relationships of northern hemisphere lampreys, with a special emphasis on the 17 European species. The study comprises two m...
Genetic hypervariability of a Northeastern Atlantic venomous rockfish
Francisco, Sara M.; Castilho, Rita; Lima, Cristina S.; Almada, Frederico; Rodrigues, Francisca; Šanda, Radek; Vukić, Jasna; Pappalardo, Anna MariaBackground: Understanding the interplay between climate and current and historical factors shaping genetic diversity is pivotal to infer changes in marine species range and communities’ composition. A hylogeographical break between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean has been documented for several marine organisms, translating into limited dispersal between the two basins. Methods: In this study, we screened th...
