The Mediterranean fisheries are characterised by fragmented fleets, usually composed by
relatively small vessels, use of a large number of landing sites, multi-species catches and …

Bottlenose dolphins Tursiops truncatus are amongst the best-known cetaceans. In the
Mediterranean Sea, however, modern field studies of cetaceans did not start until the late …

An essential prerequisite of a sustainable fisheries management is the matching of
biologically relevant processes and management action. In fisheries management and …

Shallow population structure is generally reported for most marine fish and explained as a
consequence of high dispersal, connectivity and large population size. Targeted gene …

Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) are widely distributed and a high degree of
morphometric and genetic differentiation has been found among both allopatric and …

Aim In contrast to the attention given to southern Europe both as a centre of speciation and
differentiation and as a Pleistocene refugium of Western Palaearctic taxa, North Africa has …

We report on the genetic differentiation among populations of the common (or European)
sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) from the North Sea, Britanny, Portugal, Morocco, the …

The occurrence of seven species of the larval parasitic nematode Anisakis, which can be
used as a biological tag for hake Merluccius merluccius stocks throughout their …

Abstract The Atlantic Ocean-Mediterranean Sea junction has been proposed as an
important phylogeographical area on the basis of concordance in genetic patterns observed …

Aim A central question in evolutionary ecology is the nature of environmental barriers that
can limit gene flow and induce population genetic divergence, a first step towards …
