Abstract excerpt
We assayed the mtDNA phylogeography [196 base pairs (bp) of the cytochrome b] and population structure (n = 680) in the estuarine fish, Ethmalosa fimbriata, from its whole distribution range: 14 locations along the West African coasts were sampled. Specifically, we considered Pleistocene glaciations as well as the hydrodynamics and climatic conditions of the estuarine environments in order to identify the main...
