“…Contemporary patterns of genetic diversity and population connectivity within species are influenced by demographic history, historical and present barriers to gene flow, and the species’ active and/or passive dispersal ability (Hewitt, 2000; Ellegren & Galtier, 2016). Thus, highly vagile generalist species with great active dispersal ability typically show little phylogeographic structure, sometimes even across their entire distribution range (e.g., Koblmüller et al, 2012; Statham et al, 2014; Nebel et al, 2015; Pfeiler & Markow, 2017). This is particularly true for pelagic fishes, which are usually highly mobile with their dispersal not restricted by physical barriers (e.g., Graves & McDowell, 2003; Theisen et al, 2008; García-Rodríguez et al, 2011), even though exceptions have been reported (e.g., Perrin & Borsa, 2001; Lu et al, 2006; Fauvelot & Borsa, 2011; Sebastian et al, 2017).…”
