Genetic hypervariability of a Northeastern Atlantic venomous rockfish
Francisco, Sara M.; Castilho, Rita; Lima, Cristina S.; Almada, Frederico José Oliveira de; Rodrigues, Francisca; Šanda, Radek; Vukic, JasnaBackground: 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 phylogeographical 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 t...

Mitochondrial and nuclear intraspecific variation in the rusty blenny (Parablen...
Pappalardo, Anna Maria; Francisco, Sara M.; Fruciano, Carmelo; Lima, Cristina Silva.; Pulvirenti, Valentina; Tigano, C.; Robalo, Joana IsabelThe genetic structure of Parablennius sanguinolentus from the northeastern Atlantic and Mediterranean was assessed using sequences from the mitochondrial control region (CR) and the first intron of the nuclear S7 ribosomal protein gene (S7). Our data show high genetic diversity for the central Mediterranean populations, contrasting with very low diversity in the Atlantic populations and in the westernmost Medit...
