Multilocus Phylogeography and Population Genetic Analyses of Opsariichthys hainanensis Reveal Pleistocene Isolation Followed by High Gene Flow around the Gulf of Tonkin.

Abstract excerpt

The ichthyofauna of continental islands is characterized by immigration through a land bridge due to fluctuating sea levels. Hainan Island is adjacent to the southern margin of mainland China and provides opportunities for understanding the origin and diversification of freshwater fishes. The aim of our study was to evaluate the level of genetic variation and phylogeographic structure of Opsariichthys hainanensis...
