text: Defining population structure and genetic diversity levels is of the utmost
importance for developing efficient conservation strategies. Overfishing has caused
mean annual catches of the European spiny lobster (Palinurus elephas) to decrease
alarmingly along its distribution area. In this context, there is a need for comprehensive
studies aiming to evaluate the genetic health of the exploited populations. The
present study is based on a set of ten nuclear markers amplified in 331 individuals
from ten different localities covering most of P. elephas distribution area. Samples
from Atlantic and Mediterranean basins showed small but significant differences,
indicating that P. elephas populations do not behave as a single panmictic unit
but form two partially-overlapping groups. Despite intense overfishing, our dataset
did not recover a recent bottleneck signal, and instead showed a large and stable
historical effective size. This result could be accounted for by specific life-history
traits (reproduction and longevity) and the limitations of molecular markers in
covering recent timescales for nontemporal samples. The findings of the present
study emphasize the need to integrate information on effective population sizes
and life-history parameters when evaluating population connectivity levels from
genetic data.
