“…2.3% nucleotide divergence at the Cytochrome b locus were also detected in round scad mackerel (D. macrosoma) (Borsa, 2003). A similarly shallow phylogeographic break was reported in false clownfish on either side of the Malay Peninsula (Nelson et al, 2000) and between barramundi populations on either side of Torres Strait (Chenoweth et al, 1998). This apparently recurrent feature of the mitochondrial phylogenies of coastal fishes in the Indo-Malay region lends support to the hypothesis that changes in sea level associated with Pleistocene glaciations in higher latitudes provoked the geographic isolation of populations in the Indo-Malay region.…”

“…Admixture of haplotypes from two distinct mitochondrial lineages was interpreted as evidence for recent secondary introgression in barramundi (Chenoweth et al, 1998). The phylogeographic structure of false clown anemonefish (Amphiprion ocellaris), a coastal sedentary fish with short pelagic larval stage, was also explained by sea level changes during the Pleistocene, rather than by contemporary geography (Nelson et al, 2000). Significant differences in Cytochrome b haplotype frequencies were found between A. ocellaris populations from the western edge of the Sunda Shelf (West coast of Sumatra, Malacca Strait) and those from the rest of the Indo-Malay archipelago, including South China Sea, Sunda Strait, Bali Strait, Sulu Sea and Sulawesi Sea.…”

Major genetic breaks between the Indian and Pacific oceans have been reported for marine fishes and invertebrates. The genetic structure and history of the Indian scad mackerel, Decapterus russelli, in the Indo-Malay archipelago were investigated using the cytochrome b gene sequence as mitochondrial marker and two length-polymorphic introns as nuclear markers. The existence of two major mitochondrial lineages separated by 2.2% average nucleotide divergence, and their heterogeneous geographical distributions, were confirmed. This indicated past geographic isolation, possibly caused by a Pleistocene drop in sea level. The presence, in sympatry, of the two mitochondrial lineages was thought to result from secondary contact. A recent population bottleneck and subsequent rapid population expansion were indicated by low genetic diversities and strongly negative Tajima's D-values. This evidence supports the hypothesis that the habitat available to D. russelli in the Pleistocene was restricted. Taking into account both mitochondrial and nuclear-DNA data, three geographically distinct populations were identified: one sampled in the Makassar Strait and Sulawesi Sea, one in the Arafura Sea and the third from the entire western region of the Indo-Malay archipelago. Considering the high hydrological connectivity of this region of the Indo-Pacific and the species pelagic life-history, the population structure may be maintained by homing behaviour and, perhaps, the association of spawning with retention zones.

“…C. sórdidas has great potential dispersal ability, which may have caused genetic subdivision at small and medium spatial scales, evident in other reef fish species (e.g. Doherty et al 1995;Planes et al 1997;Nelson et al 2000), to be lost. Large local population sizes and reproductive outputs affect rates of gene flow, genetic drift, and fixation, acting to reduce genetic differentiation across the species range.…”

High genetic diversities and complex genetic structure in an Indo-Pacific tropical reef fish (Chlorurus sordidus): evidence of an unstable evolutionary past?

Historical sea level fluctuations have influenced the genetic structure and evolutionary history of marine species and examining widespread species across their species ' ranges may elucidate some of these effects. Chlorurus sordidus is a common and widespread parrotfish found on coral reefs throughout the Indo-central Pacific. We used phylogenetic, phylogeographic, and cladistic analyses to examine the genetic composition and population structure of this species across most of its latitudinal range limits. We sequenced 354 bp of the mitochondrial control region I in 185 individuals from nine populations. Populations of C. sordidus displayed high levels of genetic diversity, similar to those recorded for widespread pelagic fish species, but much greater nucleotide diversity values than those previously recorded for other demersal reef fishes. Both phylogenetic and phylogeographic analyses detected strong genetic subdivision at the largest spatial scale (i.e. among oceans). The Pacific Ocean was characterised by weak population genetic structure. Separation of the Hawaiian location from other Pacific and West Indian Ocean sites was evident in phylogenetic analyses, but not from analysis of molecular variance. NCA and isolation-by-distance tests suggested that the genetic structure of this species was the result of multiple contemporary and historical processes, including long-distance colonisation and range expansion arising from fluctuating sea levels, limited current gene flow, and isolation by distance. This pattern is to be expected when historically fragmented populations come into secondary contact. We suggest the patterns of population genetic structure recorded in C. sórdidas are caused by large local population sizes, high gene flow, and a recent history of repeated fragmentation and remixing of populations resulting from fluctuating sea levels.Communicated by M.S.

“…The mean intraspecific genetic distance ranged from 0.15% to 1.57% for the entire data set. Biological mechanisms, water dynamics (such as ocean currents), geographic distance, and historical events may play important roles in the population genetic structures of marine species (Barber et al, 2000;Nelson et al, 2000;Saarman et al, 2010). Many marine fish lack a phylogeographic structure and show genetic homogeneity within populations (Friess and Sedberry, 2011; Zhang et al, 2014).…”
