“…(Table 4). This pattern of base composition is similar to the COI gene region sequences in other groups of crustaceans, including Raymunida (Macpherson & Machordom 2001), Portunidae (Chu et al 1999;Lai et al 2010;Pfeiler et al 2005), Alpheidae Williams et al 2002, Gammaridae (Meyran et al 1997), as well as some penaeid shrimp species (Baldwin et al 1998;Maggioni et al 2001;Quan et al 2004;Tong et al 2000;Zitari-Chatti et al 2009). …”

“…ms.) shows patterns concordant with those seen for mtDNA, pointing to shared demographic history with mtDNA. Finally, if adaptation to upper and central Gulf environments has driven patterns of variation for rocky shore fishes, similar patterns should be found for soft-substrate taxa on the eastern coast of the Gulf of California, which is not the case ( Pfeiler et al 2005). Thus, there is no evidence for differentiation due to selection alone.…”

“…Hence, there is the previously unrecognized possibility that historical vicariance has contributed to diversification of Gulf of California fishes. Fragmentation of the Baja Peninsula should not have affected soft bottomed and estuarine taxa whose primary habitat is on the eastern coastline of the Gulf, and in fact, genetic breaks coinciding with biogeographic regions are not found for shrimp (Aubert and Lightner 2000;de la Rosa-Vélez et al 2000), swimming crabs (Pfeiler et al 2005), or eelgrass (Muñ iz-Salazar et al 2005).…”

Abstract. Comparisons across multiple taxa can often clarify the histories of biogeographic regions. In particular, historic barriers to movement should have affected multiple species and, thus, result in a pattern of concordant intraspecific genetic divisions among species. A striking example of such comparative phylogeography is the recent observation that populations of many small mammals and reptiles living on the Baja California peninsula have a large genetic break between northern and southern peninsular populations. In the present study, I demonstrate that five species of near-shore fishes living on the Baja coastline of the Gulf of California share this genetic pattern. The simplest explanation for this concordant genetic division within both terrestrial and marine vertebrates is that the Baja Peninsula was fragmented by a Plio-Pleistocene marine seaway and that this seaway posed a substantial barrier to movement for near-shore fishes. For some fish species, the signal of this vicariance in mtDNA has been eroded by gene flow and is not evident with classic, equilibrium measures of population structure. Yet, significant divisions are apparent in coalescent analyses that jointly estimate divergence with gene flow. The genetic divisions within Gulf of California fishes also coincide with recognized biogeographic regions based on fish community composition and several environmental factors. It is likely that adaptation to regional environments and present-day oceanographic circulation limit gene exchange between biogeographic regions and help maintain evidence of past vicariance.

“…Also, C. maenas can spawn throughout winter and spring/ summer seasons, depending on latitude, thereby ensuring that larvae are released under a wide variety of oceanographic conditions. Other marine crabs with high larval dispersal capacity show similar patterns of low genetic differentiation over extensive spatial scales (McMillen-Jackson & Bert 2004, Pfeiler et al 2005, Cassone & Boulding 2006, Ungfors et al 2009). Furthermore, weak or a complete lack of genetic differentiation along the European Atlantic coast has also been documented for other invertebrate species with high dispersal potential, such as the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus (Duran et al 2004), the European lobster Homarus gammarus (Triantafyllidis et al 2005), the netted dog whelk Nassarius reticulatus (Couceiro et al 2007), the spiny spider crab Maja brachydactyla (Sotelo et al 2008) and the velvet swimming crab Necora puber (Sotelo et al 2009).…”

Unravelling the interactions between life-history strategies and oceanography is central to our understanding of gene flow and connectivity in the marine environment. In the present study, we investigated the population genetic structure of the shore crab in its native range in relation to oceanographic characteristics and dispersal potential. Using 10 microsatellite markers over 2 yr, we surveyed 18 locations distributed along ~4200 km within the species native range, from Sweden to Morocco, assessed the population structure by means of F ST and Bayesian clustering analysis and tested the hypothesis of isolation-by-distance (IBD) with a Mantel test. We focused particular attention along a 1200 km stretch of the Iberian Peninsula. We found no evidence of genetic structure (F ST = 0.0001, p > 0.05) along the Iberian coast, and patterns were temporally stable over 2 yr. Across the more extensive geographic spatial scale, overall genetic differentiation was low (F ST = 0.001) but statistically significant (p < 0.001). Furthermore, clustering analysis grouped the samples into 3 genetic units from (1) Sweden, (2) Wales and the Iberian Peninsula and (3) Morocco. While the correlation between genetic and geographic distances was significant, the pattern was not consistent with an IBD pattern. Results suggests that, in the absence of barriers to gene flow, shore crab populations are genetically similar across thousands of kilometres, but isolated populations still may occur within the species native range. Local oceanography and larval behaviour may have a significant influence on the structuring of the populations under study.
