Leve diferenciación genética entre los límites occidental y oriental de distribución de Astroides calycularis (Pallas, 1776) (Anthozoa, Scleractinia, Dendrophylliidae), inferida a partir de secuencias de COI e ITS
2012
Understanding population genetic structure and differentiation among populations is useful
for the elaboration of management and conservation plans of threatened species. In this
study, we use nuclear and mitochondrial markers (internal transcribed spacers -ITS and
cytochrome oxidase subunit one -COI) for phylogenetics and nested clade analyses (NCA),
thus providing the first assessment of the genetic structure of the threatened Mediterranean
coral Astroides calycularis (Pallas, 1766), based on samples from 12 localities along its geographic
distribution range. Overall, we found no population differentiation in the westernmost
region of the Mediterranean; however, a slight differentiation was observed when comparing
this region with the Tyrrhenian and Algerian basins
