Popis: | Amphidromy, characterized by freshwater adult and marine larval stages, has been shown to be an important influence on the genetic structure of aquatic populations. Sicydium salvini is a widespread goby species (Teleostei: Gobiidae: Sicydiinae) in the eastern Pacific with a continuous distribution from Mexico to Panama. Here, we use mitochondrial data to infer population genetic and historical demography of this species. Sequences were collected for the mitochondrial gene cytochrome b for 162 specimens sampled across the range of S. salvini with a concentration on rivers in Costa Rica. No genetic structure was detected between regions or rivers in the AMOVA analysis; the phylogeny for this species showed no geographic affinities and very little resolution. Historical demographic analyses indicated a population expansion during the late Pleistocene. These results are consistent with a panmictic population with expansion influenced strongly by Pleistocene glacial cycles and geologic uplift. |
