Abstract: | Complete sequencing of the mitochondrial control region was used to describe phylogenetic relationships of brown trout populations (Salmo trutta) in the Mediterranean river basins of Iberia and to review the historical biogeography of trout from the Mediterranean regions. Phylogenetic relationships among trout lineages suggested that the Danubian one is the most ancestral, in accordance with the eastern origin of most of the European freshwater fish species. Nested-clade and mismatch analyses suggested that the present distribution of haplotypes of the Adriatic and Mediterranean lineages resulted from population expansions originated, respectively, from central and western Europe, which favoured extensive secondary contacts between lineages. Reduced diversity detected within 50% of the analysed populations and large intrabasin differentiation indicated restricted gene flow in post-glacial periods. |
