“…swirskii from Cape Verde, as previous studies suggested some link between genetic differences and biological features, e.g. climate adaptation (for COI and Cytb mtDNA) and prey adaptation (for 12S rRNA) (Tixier et al, 2010a(Tixier et al, , 2021Queiroz et al, 2021). Even if these markers are usually considered neutral, some studies have shown that mutations can be associated to abiotic factors (pesticide resistance in Tetranychus urticae (Koch) (Van Nieuwenhuyse et al, 2009;Fotoukkiaii et al, 2020), temperature adaptation in anchovies and Lottia in COI mtDNA sequences (Dong et al, 2009;Silva et al 2014)).…”
