“…The relatively large genetic divergence among the species of this complex (>10%), notwithstanding their morphological similarity (and the frequently overlapping morphological variation) is not infrequent in Mediterranean gastropods. Similar patterns have been recently observed in the sessile vermetids of the genus Dendropoma (Calvo et al 2009(Calvo et al , 2015 and in the small muricids of the genus Ocinebrina (Barco et al 2013). The fossil history of this complex is documented by a relatively large record (Brunetti and Della Bella 2014), which would be crucial to date nodes of molecular phylogenetic hypotheses and then infer biogeographical dynamics.…”

Summary: Northeastern Atlantic and Mediterranean gastropods previously ascribed to the buccinid genus Pollia Gray, 1837 are more correctly classified in the genus Aplus de Gregorio, 1885. Using an integrative taxonomy approach combining molecular, morphological and geographic data, we revisit the limits of the extant species in the area, and propose a molecular phylogenetic hypothesis based on 66 specimens from various localities in the Mediterranean Sea, including type localities of some nominal taxa. We used a preliminary morphological inspection, followed by a DNA-barcoding approach to propose species hypotheses, subsequently consolidated using additional data (phylogenetic, geographic and refined morphological data). Seven species hypotheses were eventually retained within our molecularly assayed samples, versus three classical morphologically recognized species. Among these, three correspond to Aplus dorbignyi (Payreaudeau, 1826) with its hitherto unrecognized geographical cognates A. gaillardoti (Puton, 1856) (eastern Mediterranean) and Aplus nodulosus (Bivona Ant., 1832) (Sicily); two closely related, yet considerably divergent, lineages are treated as a single species under Aplus scaber (Locard, 1892); the classically admitted Aplus scacchianus (Philippi, 1844) is confirmed by molecular evidence; Mediterranean populations attributable to Aplus assimilis (Reeve, 1846) may represent either cryptic native populations or an ongoing invasion of the Mediterranean by what was hitherto considered to be a West African species; finally, specimens from the Strait of Gibraltar may represent an undescribed species, but we conservatively refrain from formally introducing it pending the analysis of more material, and it is compared with the similar Aplus campisii (Ardovini, 2014), recently described from Sicily and not assayed molecularly, and Aplus scaber.Keywords: Mollusca; gastropoda; cryptic species; DNA-barcoding; taxonomy. Diversidad críptica en gasterópodos mediterráneos del género Aplus (Neogastropoda: Buccinidae)Resumen: Los gasterópodos mediterráneos y del Atlántico nordeste previamente asignados al género Pollia Gray, 1837 deben ser más correctamente incluidos en el género Aplus de Gregorio, 1885. Se revisan aquí los límites de las especies recientes de este género en el área estudiada por medio de un enfoque de taxonomía integrativa. En base a ello se propone una hipótesis filogenética basada en 66 ejemplares procedentes de varias localidades del Mediterráneo, incluyendo las localidades tipo de algunos taxones nominales. Primero se realizó una diferenciación morfológica, seguida de la aplicación del marcador molecular COI para proponer las especies a modo de hipótesis, que finalmente fueron validadas con datos adicionales (filogenéticos, geográficos y detalles morfológicos). Como resultado se reconocieron siete especies válidas entre los ejemplares analizados molecularmente, en contraste con las tres especies previamente reconocidas morfológicamente. Tres de ellas corresponden a Aplus dorbignyi (Payreaudeau...

“…The similar dates of divergence of the two lineages for the two independent markers lend additional support to the hypothesis that this major split corresponds to vicariance and not to selective sweeps (which can produce similar haplotype divergence patterns), because such sweeps are unlikely to occur simultaneously for distinct markers. This divergence estimate of ~5 Mya is compatible with the end of the Messinian salinity crisis, during which the Mediterranean basin was split into several sub-basins with varying salinity, and may have led to allopatric divergence (eventually speciation) (Sabelli & Taviani, 2014;Calvo et al, 2015). Lineages with distinct or allopatric geographic distributions were reported in other Mediterranean gastropods with a short larval phase, as in the muricid species complex Ocinebrina edwardsii (Barco et al, 2013) and the vermetid Dendropoma petraeum (Calvo et al, 2009(Calvo et al, , 2015.…”

“…Only in the past 10,000 years has the Mediterranean flooded again, thus leading to recent colonization by certain marine flora and fauna from the Atlantic (Thiede 1978, Hewitt 2000. Conversely, other species' distributions might be the consequence of much older events, such as the existence of refugia during the Messinian salinity crisis (Calvo et al 2015).…”

Several molecular studies have been conducted on northeastern Atlantic and Mediterranean patellid limpets, but Algerian specimens have never been included in these studies. This work intends to fill this gap and characterize populations of different Patella species inhabiting the Algerian coasts of Oran, clarifying the presence of Patella ferruginea that is considered as endangered. Moreover, comparison of their intraspecific variation with that of other areas might enlighten about populations connectivity and the conservation status of the analysed species.The molecular analyses performed on the samples from Oran's coasts, confirmed the presence of Patella ferruginea, P. rustica and P. caerulea, all of which shared haplotypes with other Mediterranean localities previously analysed. The intraspecific differentiation was limited, with the exception of P. rustica, which showed the greatest diversity, while P. ferruginea, the most endangered species, showed the lowest.
