Abstract excerpt
In this study, we used 11 polymorphic microsatellite loci to show that oceanic distances as small as 2-5 km are sufficient to produce high levels of population genetic structure (multilocus F(ST) as high as 0.22) in the Banggai cardinalfish (Pterapogon kauderni), a heavily exploited reef fish lacking a pelagic larval dispersal phase. Global F(ST) among all populations, separated by a maximum distance of 203 km,...
