“…To the north of the 6°S longitude, the ARAB includes the adjacent coastlines of the Arabian Sea. Furthermore, these oceanographic provinces are in agreement with both tectonic plate boundaries and proposed biogeographic regions of the SWIO (Santini & Winterbottom 2002). The present study has such been conducted in an area that straddles these 4 regions (Fig.…”

The reef fish Myripristis berndti (Jordan & Everman 1903) is a pantropical species. A genetic analysis was conducted on 353 individuals from 10 localities distributed across the SW Indian Ocean (SWIO) in order to determine patterns of connectivity in the SWIO. Both the mtDNA sequences (711-bp cytochrome b sequences) and the microsatellites (8 newly developed loci) reveal spatial patterns of differentiation within the SWIO. There is, however, a discrepancy between the structure observed with each kind of marker. MtDNA revealed that 3 peripheral populations (NW Kenya, SE Reunion, and SW Europa) were isolated from the 7 more central populations, which form a more densely connected population network, while microsatellite data indicated a more restricted connectivity with significant differentiation between most pairs of localities. Higher genetic differences between Reunion and Europa were found, which might be explained by geography and isolation by distance pattern. In contrast, the genetic signature of Kenya -the most divergent locality identified by mtDNA basis but not with microsatellite -was probably the consequence of a particular colonisation history. These results indicate a much more restricted connectivity than previously thought for this species.KEY WORDS: mtDNA · Microsatellite · Marine fish · SW Indian Ocean · ConnectivityResale or republication not permitted without written consent of the publisher

“…Analytical approaches in, for example, biogeography are equally applicable to data from marine and terrestrial systems (e.g. Marshall & Liebherr 2000;Santini & Winterbottom 2002;Wojcicki & Brooks 2005; but see Siddall 2005), and the coupled biophysical models increasingly employed to study dispersal of marine larvae (e.g. Cowen et al 2000Cowen et al , 2006Galindo et al 2006) can be expected to promote similar approaches to studying aerial dispersal (e.g.…”

A biophysical perspective on dispersal and the geography of evolution in marine and terrestrial systems

The fluid mechanics of marine and terrestrial systems are surprisingly similar at many spatial and temporal scales. Not surprisingly, the dispersal of organisms that float, swim or fly is influenced by the fluid environments of air and seawater. Nonetheless, it has been argued repeatedly that the geography of evolution differs fundamentally between marine and terrestrial taxa. Might this view emanate from qualitative contrasts between the pelagic ocean and terrestrial land conflated by anthropocentric perception of within-and betweenrealm variation? We draw on recent advances in biogeography to identify two pairs of biophysically similar marine and terrestrial settings-(i) aerial and marine microplankton and (ii) true islands and brackish seawater lakes-which have similar geographies of evolution. Commonalities at these scales, the largest and smallest biogeographic scales, delimit the geographical extents that can possibly characterize evolution in the remaining majority of species. The geographies of evolution therefore differ statistically, not fundamentally, between marine and terrestrial systems. Comparing the geography of evolution in diverse non-microplanktonic and non-island species from a biophysical perspective is an essential next step for quantifying precisely how marine and terrestrial systems differ and is an important yet under-explored avenue of macroecology.

“…Vicariance is likely to be the predominant mechanism of speciation (and cladogenesis) in the sea (Santini & Winterbottom 2002), and several authors have stressed the importance of tectonic events in determining distribution patterns of coastal organisms (Springer 1999, Orrell et al 2002. However, no major geological changes occurred along the South African coastline since the break-up of western Gondwana and the formation of the present continental shelf during the early Cretaceous (Heydorn et al 1978), and there is no evidence of a geological feature that could have acted as an absolute barrier to the dispersal of estuarine crustaceans during the glacial and interglacial phases.…”

The South African coastline comprises 3 main biogeographic provinces: (1) the cooltemperate west coast, (2) the warm-temperate south coast, and (3) the subtropical east coast. The boundaries between these regions are defined by changes in species compositions and hydrological conditions. It is possible that these affect phylogeographic patterns of coastal organisms differently, depending on the species' ecologies and modes of dispersal. In the present study, genealogies of 3 estuarine crustaceans, each characterized by a different mode of passive dispersal and present in more than one biogeographic province, were reconstructed using mtDNA COI sequences, and the impacts of biogeographic boundaries on their phylogeographic patterns were compared. The species were (mode of dispersal in brackets): (1) the mudprawn Upogebia africana (planktonic larvae), (2) the isopod Exosphaeroma hylecoetes (adult rafting), and (3) the cumacean Iphinoe truncata (adult drifting). Two major mtDNA lineages with slightly overlapping distributions were identified in U. africana (the species with the highest dispersal potential). The other 2 species had 3 mtDNA lineages each, which were characterized by strict geographic segregation. Phylogeographic breaks in U. africana and E. hylecoetes coincided with biogeographic boundaries, whereas the phylogeographic patterns identified in I. truncata may reflect persistent palaeogeographic patterns. Ecological factors and modes of dispersal are likely to have played a role in both cladogenesis of the different lineages and in the establishment of their present-day distribution patterns.
