Population genetic theory predicts that marine animal species with planktonic larvae will have less genetic structure than
those with direct development. We compared the genetic structure of four species of littorinid snails – two with planktonic
egg capsules that hatch as planktonic larvae and two with benthic egg masses that hatch as crawl-away juveniles. We used DNA
sequencing and single stranded conformational polymorphism (SSCP) to assess sequence variation in a 480 bp fragment of the
mitochondrial cytochrome b gene and then used an analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) to estimate Φst for populations from the northeastern Pacific coast. One of the two direct-developing species, Littorina subrotundata, had a moderate amount of population structure (Φst=0.209) as expected but the other direct-developing species, L. sitkana, was nearly fixed for a single haplotype that made it impossible to precisely estimate Φst. One of the two planktonic-developing species, L. scutulata, did not show any significant population structure (Φst=0.004). In contrast to our expectations, the other planktonic-developing species, L. plena, showed some weak but statistically significant population structure (Φst=0.052). We discuss how differences in population genetic structure between species with the same type of development may
reflect differences in their historical demography.

We surveyed patterns of allelic variation within twelve samples of the pipi Donax deltoides Lamarck from beaches separated by up to 1200 km but connected to varying degrees by the East Australian Current. We used
these data to test the prediction that the irregular patterns of water movement would cause genetic differentiation in pipis,
so that there would be more genetic variation within and among the more southern regions than the northern regions. We found
that six loci were at least moderately variable within all samples, and there were no clear geographic patterns in allelic
frequencies. In general, genotype frequencies within samples were consistent with predictions for an outcrossed, sexually
reproducing species, and we detected no evidence of population subdivision. Within samples, with the exception of the peptidase
loci, single-locus genotype frequencies were in close agreement with expectations for Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. We observed
no significant linkage disequilibrium for any pairwise comparison of loci in any sample. Our hierarchical analysis of genetic
variation revealed little variation among all samples (F
st = 0.009). Loci showed consistently low levels of subdivision (F
st from 0.003 to 0.018). We found almost no variation among the four geographic regions sampled (F
rt = 0.001). All variation was therefore attributable to variation among samples within regions (F
sr = 0.010). These data imply that larvae are moving between regions and that levels of present or recent gene flow are high,
and support the conclusions of other studies which have inferred widespread gene flow for animals dispersing via planktonic,
outcrossed larvae in parts of this region. This implies that the East Australian Current is sufficient to produce strong larval
connections despite its intermittent nature. If existing levels of population subdivision reflect current levels of gene flow,
then these data imply that D. deltoides represents a single fishery on the east coast of Australia.

Genetic differentiation between North Sea and Baltic Sea Hediste diversicolor (O.F. Müller, 1776) (Polychaeta: Nereididae) populations was studied by allozyme electrophoresis on starch gel. Thirteen
loci were analyzed in eight populations. The level of genetic variation was very low (mean H
o = 0.000 to 0.015). Differentiation between H. diversicolor populations is quite high (F
ST = 0.892) and reflected by three enzyme loci (MDH-I*, MDH-II*, IDH-I*). The reduced gene flow (N
m<1) may be explained by the limited dispersal capacity of the species. Regardless of whether found in the North Sea or Baltic
Sea, there appear to be two different genetic types which are parapatric or sympatric in some places. The two types hybridize
at three localities, but no signs of hybridization have been found at one (Tallinn).

An allozyme survey, using starch-gel electrophoresis, was carried out on eight populations of the Antarctic nemertean worm
Parborlasia corrugatus (McIntosh, 1876) collected from locations around the South Orkney Islands, Antarctica. These populations were separated by
distances in the order of tens of kilometres. Genetic variation was estimated over 22 enzyme loci for all populations examined,
giving an observed heterozygosity of 0.142. This was much lower than the expected heterozygosity (H
e
= 0.201), and it was found that there was a significant deficiency of het‐erozygotes across four enzyme loci ( p ≤ 0.01). A more detailed examination of this deficiency of heterozygotes was undertaken for the six populations and six variable
enzyme loci for which the most complete data sets existed. A significant deficiency of heterozygotes was found at the enzyme
locus Odh-1 for four of the six populations examined ( p ≤ 0.01). Mean F
is
(0.240) indicated a significant ( p ≤ 0.01) within-population component of the heterozygote deficiency estimated for the six populations sampled, and this was
mainly due to the␣Ap-1, Odh-1 and Pgm-1 loci. The mean F
st
value (0.036) was also significant ( p ≤ 0.01), indicating a degree of genetic differentiation between populations. The observed levels of genetic differentiation
between populations of P. corrugatus and the significant heterozygote deficiencies were unexpected, because this species has been reported to have a long-lived
planktotrophic larva. It is hypothesised that recruitment of P. corrugatus in the South Orkney Islands originates from genetically distinct populations located in the Weddell Sea and to the west of
the Antarctic Peninsula. Shifts in the relative position of the Weddell Sea Front, Weddell–Scotia Confluence and Scotia Front,
relative to the South Orkney Islands, provide a mechanism for variation in the origin of recruits over time.

Samples of the Antarctic octopus Pareledone turqueti were taken from three locations on the Scotia Ridge in the Southern Ocean. The genetic homogeneity of these populations was
investigated using isozyme electrophoresis. Whilst panmixia appeared to be maintained around South Georgia (F
ST = 0) gene flow between this island and Shag Rocks, an island only 150 km away but separated by great depths, was extremely
limited (F
ST = 0.74). These results are examined with respect to the discontinuous distribution of P. turqueti throughout Antarctica. An estimate of effective population size was also calculated (N
e = 3600).

This paper reports data on 28 allozyme loci in wild and artificially reared sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) samples, originating from either coastal lagoon or marine sites in the Mediterranean Sea. F
ST analysis (θ estimator) indicated strong genetic structuring among populations; around 34% of the overall genetic variation
is due to interpopulation variation. Pairwise θ estimates showed that, on average, the degree of genetic structuring was much
higher between marine populations than between samples from lagoons. Six polymorphic loci showed differences in allele frequencies
between marine and lagoon samples. Multivariate analyses of individual allozymic profiles and of allele frequencies suggested
that different arrays of genotypes prevail in lagoons compared to marine samples, particularly at those loci that, on the
basis of previous acclimation experiments, had been implicated in adaptation to freshwater. On the other hand, variation at
“neutral” allozyme loci reflects to a greater extent the geographic location of populations. Allozyme differentiation was
also studied in a D. labrax population from the Portuguese coast. Average genetic distance between this population and the Mediterranean populations
was quite high (Nei's D = 0.236) and calls into question the taxonomic status of the Portuguese population. Finally, genetic relationships between
D. labrax and D. punctatus were evaluated. Average Nei's D was 0.648, revealing high genetic differentiation between the two species, even for two sympatric populations of these species
in Egypt; thus gene flow was not indicated between species.

Although oysters are commercially very important in Brazil, there is still much dispute about the number of Crassostrea species occurring on the Brazilian coast. The dispute is centered around C. brasiliana, considered by some authors to be a junior synonym of C. rhizophorae. In this paper we compared, by allozyme electrophoresis, sympatric and allopatric populations of the two putative species.
Of the 17 loci analysed, five were diagnostic for the two species in sympatry (gene identity = 0.46 to 0.47), clearly demonstrating
that they are distinct biological species. Heterozygosity (h) levels were high for both species (h = 0.24 to 0.28), and no heterozygote deficiencies were observed in any population (local inbreeding, F
IS
= 0.141; P > 0.70). Levels of population structure in C. rhizophorae along 1300 km of coast were very low (population inbreeding, F
ST
= 0.026; P > 0.15), indicating that the planktonic, planktotrophic larvae of these species are capable of long-range dispersal.

Results of isozyme electrophoresis were used to explore the genetic relationships between several Mediterranean morphs of
Cerithium (Gastropoda: Prosobranchia), for which taxonomy is currently uncertain because of high intraspecific variability and low
interspecific differentiation. The large species, classically known as C. vulgatum Bruguière, 1789 was identified at four sites (two in the French Mediterranean and two in southern Spain). Two different larval
types were found in the French sites, but poecilogony could not be demonstrated. Individuals collected from harbours were
not genetically distinct from open-sea populations of classic C. vulgatum. However, a population in the Embiez lagoon (French Mediterranean) which morphologically resembles C. vulgatum did display distinct genetic traits, supporting its status as a separate species. Of the small Cerithium species usually known as C. rupestre, two sympatric species (C.“rupestre” Risso, 1826 and C. lividulum Risso, 1826) were distinguished. Genotype frequencies within the analysed populations revealed much heterozygote deficiency.
F
ST
values (fixation index measuring the effects of population subdivision) suggest a higher genetic differentiation for C. lividulum populations than for C. vulgatum populations. We assume that a high larval dispersal capability (via planktotrophy) allows a high gene flow between populations
of C. vulgatum.

The genetic relationships among South-East Asian populations of the scad mackerels Decapterus macarellus, D. macrosoma and D. russelli (Pisces: Carangidae) were investigated. In 1995 and 1996, 216 fish were sampled in seven localities spanning the seas of
Indonesia and were examined for restriction-site polymorphisms using ten restriction enzymes for the mitochondrial (mt) DNA
control region, amplified by the polymerase chain-reaction. The inferred phylogeny of haplotypes led to the recognition of
three distinct mitochondrial lineages or phylads consistent with the distinctions of current taxonomy. All 15 mtDNA haplotypes
found in D. macarellus and all 9 haplotypes found in D. macrosoma were arranged as star-like clusters, suggesting recent evolutionary history. In contrast, the phylad formed by 6 haplotypes
in D. russelli from the Sulawesi Sea exhibited diffuse topology, suggesting that ancestral lineages of this species have been retained to
the present. Average nucleotide-divergence estimates between haplotypes of different phylads were between 0.042 and 0.135,
suggesting ancient separation, in consistency with published allozyme data. High levels of haplotype diversity, but no geographical
heterogeneity, was detected within D. macarellus from the Molucca Sea and the Banda Sea. Populations of D. macrosoma exhibited both significant differences between adjacent regions (Sunda Strait and Java Sea), and broadscale genetic homogeneity
from the South China Sea to the Sulawesi Sea via the Java Sea and Makassar Strait. The geographic isolation of the D. macrosoma population sampled in the Sunda Strait suggests that this region constitute a sharp transition zone between the Indian Ocean
and the Sunda Shelf. Near-monomorphism of haplotypes and low nucleotide diversity (d
X) were observed in the samples of D. macrosoma from the continental shelf (haplotype-diversity estimates, h, = 0.00 to 0.25 ± 0.08 and d
X = 0.000 to 0.002). This was in contrast to the comparatively high haplotype and nucleotide diversities observed in other
pelagic fish species including D. macarellus (h = 0.82 ± 0.05, d
X = 0.012 to 0.015) and D. russelli (h = 0.63 ± 0.12, d
X = 0.016), and in the oceanic D. macrosoma population sampled in the Sunda Strait (h = 0.67 ± 0.31, d
X = 0.005). We hypothesise that this may be the consequence of recent and perhaps repeated bottleneck events that have affected
the D. macrosoma population sampled on the continental shelf.

Starch-gel electrophoresis of allozymes was used to differentiate the two red mullet species (Mullus barbatus L. and M. surmuletus L.) in the Mediterranean Sea and, further, to investigate the genetic stock structure of M. barbatus in the eastern Mediterranean area. Twenty putative enzyme-coding loci were examined in eight M. barbatus samples caught in the Aegean and Ionian Seas (Greece) and in the Gulf of Lion (France), and two M. surmuletus samples caught in the Aegean and Gulf of Lion. A high degree of genetic polymorphism was found in both species. Species-specific
electrophoretic patterns were found in PGI* and PGM*. Estimates of variance of allele frequencies among samples (F
ST) and 2 analyses both revealed significant differences (P < 0.05) among the M. barbatus samples. Most of the genetic variation was among samples regardless of region. The mean value of Nei's genetic distance between
the two species was 0.329. Genetic distance among M. barbatus samples was low (maximum Nei's D = 0.012), with the sample from Platania differing most from other M. barbatus samples. This is probably be due to founder effects existing at this area. These results suggest that allozyme analysis may
provide important information on the genetic structure of the red mullet to ensure sustainable management of this species.

Nutrients were added separately and combined to an initial concentration of 10 μM (ammonium) and/or 2 μM (phosphate) in a series of experiments carried out with the giant clam Tridacna maxima at 12 microatolls in One Tree Island lagoon, Great Barrier Reef, Australia (ENCORE Project). These nutrient concentrations
remained for 2 to 3 h before returning to natural levels. The additions were made every low tide (twice per day) over 13 and
12 mo periods for the first and second phase of the experiment, respectively. The nutrients did not change the wet tissue
weight of the clams, host C:N ratio, protein content of the mantle, calcification rates or growth rates. However, ammonium
(N) enrichment alone significantly increased the total population density of the algal symbiont (Symbiodinium sp.: C = 3.6 · 108 cell clam−1, N = 6.6 · 108 cell clam−1, P = 5.7 · 108 cell clam−1, N + P = 5.7 · 108 cell clam−1; and C = 4.1 · 108 cell clam−1, N = 5.1 · 108 cell clam−1, P = 4.7 · 108 cell clam−1, N + P = 4.5 · 108 cell clam−1, at the end of the first and second phases of the experiment, respectively), although no differences in the mitotic index
of these populations were detected. The total chlorophyll a (chl a) content per clam but not chlorophyll a per cell also increased with ammonium addition (C = 7.0 mg chl a clam−1, N = 13.1 mg chl a clam−1, P = 12.9 mg chl a clam−1, N + P = 11.8 mg chl a clam−1; and C = 8.8 mg chl a clam−1, N = 12.8 mg chl a clam−1; P = 11.2 mg chl a clam−1, N + P = 11.3 mg chl a clam−1, at the end of the first and second phases of the experiment, respectively). The response of clams to nutrient enrichment
was quantitatively small, but indicated that small changes in inorganic nutrient levels affect the clam–zooxanthellae association.

We investigated the genetic diversity among populations of the shrimp Farfantepenaeus notialis, the most abundant penaeid species around Cuba. A total of 25 allozyme loci were analyzed in samples of shrimps from seven
localities at the south central platform of the island (Ana María Gulf). Samples from three of these localities and from Batabanó
Gulf and Guacanayabo Gulf at the south west and south east platforms of the island, respectively, were also characterized
at the mtDNA level through sequence variation of a 2027 bp segment including part of the COI and COIII genes. Of the 25 allozyme
loci studied 9 were polymorphic: Akp2, Akp3, AmyB, Est3, Gdh, GP7, and Per1, 2 and 3. In contrast to mtDNA, the pattern of allozyme variation among localities revealed strong population structuring
at Ana María Gulf, with significant F
st in all pairwise comparisons. The magnitude of F
st estimates as well as the grouping pattern obtained by a UPGMA analysis based on a distance matrix indicated that the level
of differentiation was concordant with the geographical position of the localities and the hydrographic regime. Homogeneity
of mtDNA suggested that differentiation of allozyme loci might be due to more recent events rather than historical isolation
of the sampled populations. Ana María and Guacanayabo Gulf populations were differentiated by mtDNA from Batabanó Gulf, at
the southwestern end of the island. The analysis showed three restriction site differences among them, suggesting genetic
isolation of the two regions. The present results also suggest that an artificial introduction of larvae from Tunas de Zaza
into Batabanó Gulf, in an effort to repopulate this fishing region, may have been ineffective.

Samples of the scleractinian coral Pocillopora damicornis were collected from six sites located around four islands in the Ryukyu Archipelago, southern Japan, and subjected to allozyme
electrophoresis. Seven polymorphic loci were examined for their allelic patterns. The ratio of observed to expected genotypic
diversity (0.30 < G
o
:G
e
< 0.64), the ratio of the observed number of genotypes to the number of individuals (0.47 < N
g
:N
i
< 0.75), and deviations from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium indicated that asexual reproduction plays a major role in the maintenance
of established populations. However, populations were not completely dominated by a single or a few clones, and most clones
were represented by only a few individual samples. The high frequency of typhoons in the region suggests that, in P. damicornis, fragmentation caused through occasional exposure to powerful waves is a major mode of asexual reproduction, but asexual
production of planulae may also be contributing to the maintenance of populations. A significant genetic differentiation (F
ST) was found between the six populations examined (0.027 < F
ST < 0.092, average F
ST = 0.056). The moderate gene flow is discussed according to characteristics of the larval stage of the species, and to circulation
patterns in the region.

The genetic relationships between morphologically indistinguishable marine and brackish populations of Syllis gracilis Grube, 1840 (Polychaeta: Syllidae) were studied by means of allozyme electrophoresis. Samples of S. gracilis from marine coastal and brackish-water habitats were examined for variation at 13 presumptive loci. In addition, a sample
of the closely related species S. prolifera (Krohn, 1852) was analysed. Five loci were multiallelic in at least one population of S. gracilis and eight loci in S. prolifera. Low to moderate levels of within-population genetic variability were found, with average expected heterozygosity values
ranging from H = 0.068 (±0.043 SE) to 0.187 (±0.069 SE) in the populations of S. gracilis; higher values were found in S. prolifera (H = 0.325 ± 0.076). The presence of various private alleles indicated a marked genetic divergence among populations of S. gracilis, with Nei's genetic distances ranging from D = 0.000 to 0.833 and a highly significant F
ST value. Furthermore, evidence for strong genetic heterogeneity between two sympatric marine populations was found. UPGMA cluster
analysis and multidimensional scaling pointed out a clear genetic divergence between brackish and marine populations. At least
two genetically divergent entities occurred in marine and brackish habitats. This could be due to local adaptation of individuals
coming from marine populations to brackish habitats, but more presumably to the occurrence of a species complex within S. gracilis.

The genetic structure of Mycedium elephantotus (Pallas, 1766) populations from three regions around Taiwan was examined using allozyme electrophoresis. Eight loci were
scored from seven enzyme systems. Seven loci were polymorphic under the 95% criterion. The high ratio of observed to expected
genotypic diversities at the collection sites (G
O:G
E=0.8 to 1.0) indicate that M. elephantotus propagates predominantly by sexual reproduction. Allele frequencies of M. elephantotus differed significantly among regions (D=0.024 to 0.256, F
ST=0.032 to 0.218, p < 0.001), while populations among collection sites within each region were homogeneous (D=0.000 to 0.015, F
ST=0.010 to 0.022, p > 0.05). Genetic differentiation between populations from southern Taiwan and the Penghu Islands is greater than that between
southern and northern Taiwan populations, although the former two regions are much closer geographically. The UPGMA dendrogram
based on Nei's unbiased genetic distance showed a clear subdivision of populations into two groupings, northern Taiwan/Penghu
Islands and southern Taiwan. A higher level of gene flow was found between M. elephantotus populations in northern Taiwan and the Penghu Islands (N
m=7.56) than that between populations in southern Taiwan and other regions (N
m=0.90 to 1.72). The pattern of genetic subdivision among regions is consistent with the pattern of ocean currents, indicating
that genetic differentiation is likely driven by surface circulation vicariance.

We examined the genetic identities of 49 individuals of four species of eels in the genus Anguilla Shaw, A. anguilla, A. japonica, A. reinhardti and A. rostrata, using the random(ly) amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR technique. We used 15 random decamer primers. Out of the 22 148
amplification products detected, 454 markers were evaluated using Nei's distance coefficient, two numerical methods (neighbor-joining,
UPGMA), and phylogenetic analysis using parsimony (PAUP). Both numerical and parsimony methods were congruent and confirmed
the specific status of all four examined Anguilla species. In all dendrograms, all individuals of each of the species clustered together within four closed groups with highly
significant bootstrap values (between 97 and 100%). Additionally 1 to 18 species-specific monomorphic diagnostic fragments
were detected in three of the species; none were detected in A. anguilla. Mean interspecific genetic distances ranged from 0.384 to 0.559, with the minimum between A. anguilla and A. rostrata and the maximum between A. anguilla and A. reinhardti. Individuals collected at one locality and belonging to a single species did not cluster together, and neither were any diagnostic
monomorphic fragments found for individuals of single localities. This probably reflects a random dispersal of larvae in ocean
currents before they reach coastal waters. Among all possible species pairs, only the two Atlantic species were consistently
clustered in all dendrograms, with highly significant bootstrap values (100%). Additionally, we detected ten diagnostic markers
for this pair of eel species. From RAPD data, we suggest a phylogram which was routed by the descending analysis method: A. reinhardti appears to have been the first species to diverge from a putative common ancestor of the four eel species. Later, A. japonica separated from the hypothetical ancestor of the Atlantic species, which then split recently into A. anguilla and A. rostrata. The close relationship of A. anguilla and A. rostrata is indicated by their low genetic distance (GD = 0.384) and a high degree of shared RAPD fragments (SF = 71.2%); this compares with the following means for all other species pairs: ( = 0.531, = 44.2%). The prerequisites for using RAPD data for the reconstruction of phylogenies are discussed.

Effects of contrasting modes of larval development on the genetic structures of populations of three species of prosobranch gastropods 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
M. G. Hoskin 《Marine Biology》1997,127(4):647-656
In south-eastern Australia, the prosobranch gastropods Morula marginalba (Blainville), Cominella lineolata (Lamarck) and Bedeva hanleyi (Angas) have similar fine-scale distributions, but appear to possess very different dispersal capabilities due to contrasting
modes of larval development. M.marginalba produce planktonic larvae, whereas C. lineolata and B. hanleyi undergo direct development in benthic egg capsules and emerge as crawling juveniles. To test for possible effects of contrasting
life histories on levels of genetic variation within and among populations, a survey was conducted of allozyme variation at
six polymorphic loci in 8 to 9 local populations of each species. Collections of snails were made between June 1992 and November
1993. Sampling ranges spanned between 162 and 180 km of coast. Regardless of larval type, proportions of single-locus genotypes
in each collection were consistent with the recruitment of offspring which had been generated through random mating. However,
genotypic diversity was lower in those species that undergo direct development. Loci surveyed in C. lineolata and B. hanleyi were polymorphic (i.e. frequency of most common allele <95%) in fewer populations than those examined for M.␣marginalba (P <0.001) and, where polymorphisms occurred, also possessed significantly fewer alleles (P <0.001). Consequently, average levels of expected heterozygosity were greater in populations of M. marginalba than in those of either of the other species (P <0.001). Genetic variation among populations, expressed as the standardised variance in allele frequencies (F
ST
), was inversely related to expected larval dispersal capability. The nine collections of M. marginalba showed little overall differentiation (F
ST
= 0.017; P <0.001), reflecting the ability of planktonic larvae to interconnect local populations, and so limit divergence due to drift
and natural selection. In contrast, there were high levels of allelic heterogeneity among the nine collections of C. lineolata (F
ST
= 0.523; P <0.001) and eight collections of B. hanleyi (F
ST
= 0.140; P <0.001). These data imply that for species which undergo direct development, local populations are effectively closed and
evolve largely independent of one another.

Documenting the scale of movement among populations is an important challenge for marine ecology. Using nine microsatellite markers, evidence of genetic structure in a marine kelp, the sea palm Postelsia palmaeformis Ruprecht, was examined in the vicinity of Cape Flattery, Washington state, USA (48° 24′ N, 124°44′ W). Genetic clustering analysis implemented without reference to geographic structure strongly suggested that a number of distinct genetic clusters existed among the 245 plants sampled in August in the years 1997–2001. Subsequent analysis showed that clustering was associated with geographically defined populations both among (km scale) and within (m scale) sampling sites. F
st analysis of geographically defined populations revealed significant genetic differentiation among populations of plants as little as 5 m apart, evidence of genetic structuring at even smaller scales, and a sharp increase in F
st across populations separated by up to 23 m. F
st values were also high and approximately unchanging (F
st=0.470) for populations separated by greater distances (up to 11 km), consistent with a scenario of rare dispersal by detached, floating plants carried by variable currents. The results corroborate natural history observations suggesting that P. palmaeformis has extremely short (1–3 m) spore dispersal distances, and indicate that the dynamics of sea palm populations are more affected by local processes than recruitment from distant populations. 相似文献

Genetic divergence and phylogenetic inferences in five species of Mugilidae (Pisces: Perciformes) 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Allozyme electrophoresis was used to compare the genetic divergence of global populations of Mugil cephalus Linnaeus, 1758 and two congeneric [M.␣curema Cuvier & Valenciennes, 1836; M. gyrans (Jordan & Gilbert, 1885)] and two more distantly related [Liza ramada (Risso, 1826); Xenomugil thoburni (Jordan & Starks, 1896)] species on the basis of 18 enzyme loci. The amount of genetic divergence among the species examined
is in agreement with their present systematic status, the differences being larger among non-congeneric species than among
species of the same genus. Intraspecific genetic distances in M. cephalus (average Nei's D= 0.154), although higher than those reported for conspecific populations of fish, appear to be small when compared to the
interspecific values among mugilid species (0.821 ≤ Nei's D ≤ 1.744). Phylogenetic trees obtained by genetic distance methods and discrete character parsimony analysis were of similar
topology, except for the relationships within the genus Mugil and for the arrangement of M. cephalus populations.

Mitochondrial control region (HVR-1) sequences were used to identify patterns of genetic structure and diversity in Naso vlamingii, a widespread coral reef fish with a long evolutionary history. We examined 113 individuals from eight locations across the Indo-Pacific Ocean. Our aims were to determine the spatial scale at which population partitioning occurred and then to evaluate the extent to which either vicariance and/or dispersal events have shaped the population structure of N. vlamingii. The analysis produced several unexpected findings. Firstly, the genetic structure of this species was temporal rather than spatial. Secondly, there was no evidence of a barrier to dispersal throughout the vast distribution range. Apparently larvae of this species traverse vicariance barriers that inhibit inter-oceanic migration of other widespread reef fish taxa. Thirdly, an unusual life history and long evolutionary history was associated with a population structure that was unique amongst coral reef fishes in terms of the magnitude and pattern of genetic diversity (haplotype diversity, h = 1.0 and nucleotide diversity π = 13.6%). In addition to these unique characteristics, there was no evidence of isolation by distance (r = 0.458, R
2 = 0.210, P = 0.078) as has also been shown for some other widespread reef species. However, some reductions in gene flow were observed among and within Ocean basins [Indian–Pacific analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA), Φ
st = 0.0766, P < 0.05; West Indian–East Indian–Pacific AMOVA Φ
st = 0.079, P < 0.05]. These findings are contrasted with recent studies of coral reef fishes that imply a greater degree of spatial structuring in coral reef fish populations than would be expected from the dispersive nature of their life cycles. We conclude that increased taxon sampling of coral reef fishes for phylogeographic analysis will provide an extended view of the ecological and evolutionary processes shaping coral reef fish diversity at both ends of the life history spectrum. 相似文献
