“…On the contrary, a study on Liphophris pholis, a benthic fish more tolerant to cooler waters, showed a high level of differentiation for the Azorean population, strongly suggesting that it survived the modest sea cooling of the Azores during the glaciations (Stefanni et al, 2006).…”

“…The northeastern Atlantic has experienced severe climatic and sea level fluctuations during the Pleistocene glaciations (Briggs, 1996;Adams et al, 1999). Current research suggests that these glaciation events were very influential in shaping patterns of genetic variability and the geographic distribution of marine fauna from this region (Almada et al, 2001;Domingues et al, 2006Domingues et al, , 2007Stefanni et al, 2006). The warm-water fauna of the most affected regions like the western coast of Europe and, to some extent, the Azores and Canaries islands (Crowley, 1981;Dias et al, 1997) must have not survived in those regions.…”

Phylogeography of Diplodus sargus from the northeastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean was assessed using sequences from the mitochondrial control region and the first intron of the S7 ribosomal protein gene. The relationship between genetic and geographic distances supported an isolation by distance model, with the Azores having a peripheral position. The geographic distribution of the genetic diversity, together with the historical demography of the populations studied can be explained by the effect of the Pleistocene glaciations in the northeastern Atlantic warm water fauna. D. sargus might have disappeared from western Europe during glacial peaks and suffered considerable demographic reductions in the Canaries and Mauritania, surviving in less affected areas such as Madeira, Azores and the Mediterranean. The mismatch analysis and the Fu's Fs values provide clear evidence of expansion in western Iberia (S. Pedro), Canaries, Mauritania and also in the eastern Mediterranean. Atlantic and Mediterranean populations of D. sargus showed no signs of genetic differentiation. D. sargus are active swimmers that can undergo extensive movements along the shores. This and the presence of planktonic eggs and larvae would allow rapid mixing between Mediterranean and Atlantic fish, erasing signs of population differentiation.

Phylogeography and demographic history of Atherina presbyter (Pisces: Atherinidae) in the North-eastern Atlantic based on mitochondrial DNA

et al. 2009

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, with a pattern of isolation-by-distance or a gradient eVect at a scale of hundreds kilometres, an uncommon pattern likely related to the biological and life-history traits of the sand-smelt. The northern European populations present a much lower genetic diversity when compared to southern populations, which is consistent with a recent colonization from southern populations. The results showed signs of Pleistocene signatures, with the population age estimates for the European populations being clearly older than the Last Glacial Maximum (18,000 years bp). Nevertheless, paleotemperature reconstructions show that the sand-smelt could not have inhabited the western European shores during the last glacial phase.

“…Similarly, Naylor et al (2012) also observed genetic differences between R. clavata from the Azores and the continental shelf of mainland Europe. A number of studies considering the population genetic structure of European fish species illustrate the distinctiveness of this region, such as the white sea bream, Diplodus sargus, (González-Wangüemert et al 2010) and the shanny, Lipophrys pholis (Stefanni et al 2006). This is perhaps not surprising when considering the Azores islands represent the most remote archipelago of the North Atlantic, some 1300 km from Portugal suggesting both depth and oceanic distance are significant dispersal barriers for a variety of fish species.…”

Resolving taxonomic uncertainty in vulnerable elasmobranchs: are the Madeira skate (Raja maderensis) and the thornback ray (Raja clavata) distinct species?

et al. 2016

Skates and rays constitute the most speciose group of chondrichthyan fishes, yet are characterised by remarkable levels of morphological and ecological conservatism. They can be challenging to identify, which makes monitoring species compositions for fisheries management purposes problematic. Owing to their slow growth and low fecundity, skates are vulnerable to exploitation and species exhibiting endemism or limited ranges are considered to be the most at risk. The Madeira skate Raja maderensis is endemic and classified as 'Data Deficient' by the IUCN, yet its taxonomic distinctiveness from the morphologically similar and more wide-ranging thornback ray Raja clavata is unresolved. This study evaluated the sequence divergence of both the variable control region and cytochrome oxidase I 'DNA barcode' gene of the mitochondrial genome to elucidate the genetic differentiation of specimens identified as R. maderensis and R.clavata collected across much of their geographic ranges. Genetic evidence was insufficient to support the different species designations. However regardless of putative species identification, individuals occupying waters around the Azores and North African Seamounts represent an evolutionarily significant unit worthy of special consideration for conservation management.
