Aims We aimed to provide a molecular phylogeny of all currently known and described Labiotermes species to clarify taxonomic relationships, including the synonymy of Paracornitermes , in order to reconstruct the historical biogeography of the genus and investigate the role of specific biogeographic domains in its diversification. Location South America. Taxon Termite genus Labiotermes (Isoptera: Termitidae). Methods A dated Ba...

Unravelling the factors shaping the genetic structure of mobile marine species is challenging due to the high potential for gene flow. However, genetic inference can be greatly enhanced by increasing the genomic, geographical or environmental resolution of population genetic studies. Here, we investigated the population structure of turbot ( S cophthalmus maximus ) by screening 17 random and gene‐linked markers in 999 individu...

The phylogeographical patterns of a small marine fish, the common goby, Pomatoschistus microps, were assessed at 12 sites along the northeastern Atlantic coasts and the western Mediterranean Sea. A combination of two genetic markers was employed: cellulose acetate allozyme electrophoresis (CAGE) and sequence analysis of a 289 bp fragment of the mitochondrial locus cytochrome b . Both markers were congruent in revealing signifi...
