Rare, long‐distance dispersal underpins genetic connectivity in the pink sea fan, Eunicella verrucosa

Kirsty L. Macleod,
Tom L. Jenkins,
Matthew J. Witt
et al.

Abstract: Characterizing patterns of genetic connectivity in marine species is of critical importance given the anthropogenic pressures placed on the marine environment. For sessile species, population connectivity can be shaped by many processes, such as pelagic larval duration, oceanographic boundaries and currents. This study combines restriction‐site associated DNA sequencing (RADseq) and passive particle dispersal modelling to delineate patterns of population connectivity in the pink sea fan, Eunicella verrucosa, a… Show more

“…Eunicella verrucosa is currently more widely distributed in the North Eastern Atlantic Ocean, and less frequent in the Mediterranean Sea, whereas both other species analyzed here are only present in the Mediterranean Sea. The Atlantic / Mediterranean Sea transition does not seem to act as a phylogeographic barrier for E. verrucosa (Macleod et al, 2024). One could then envision a scenario where the split between E. verrucosa and both other species occurred in allopatry between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, followed by the colonization of the Mediterranean Sea by E. verrucosa.…”
