Three mitochondrial lineages and no Atlantic-Mediterranean barrier for the bogu...
Cunha, Regina L.; BEN FALEH, Abderraouf; Francisco, Sara; Šanda, Radek; Vukic, Jasna; Corona, Luana; DIA, Mamadou; Glavicic, Igor; Kassar, AbderrahmaneMarine species exhibiting wide distributional ranges are frequently subdivided into discrete genetic units over limited spatial scales. This is often due to specifc life-history traits or oceanographic barriers that prevent gene fow. Fine-scale sampling studies revealed distinct phylogeographic patterns in the northeastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean, ranging from panmixia to noticeable population genetic st...
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...
Molecular and morphological validation of the species of the genus Actinia (Act...
Pereira, Ana; Cadeireiro, Emília; Ocaña, Oscar; Vukic, Jasna; Šanda, Radek; Mirimin, Luca; Robalo, Joana IsabelThe discrimination between the several species of the genus Actinia occurring in the Northeastern Atlantic and Mediterranean has been made analyzing morphological characters, with emphasis on external coloration patterns and morphology of cnidom structures. In Iberia, the occurrence of more than two species of Actinia has been suggested, but its validity is yet to be confirmed. In this paper, the identity of th...
