  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 to evaluate the genetic health of the exploited populations. The present
    work is based on a set of 10 nuclear markers amplified in 331 individuals from
    10 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 showed a large and stable historical
    effective size instead. This result could be accounted for by specific life history
    traits (reproduction and longevity) and the limitations of molecular markers in
    covering very recent timescales for non temporal samples. Our study emphasizes
    the necessity of integrating information on effective population sizes and life
    history parameters when evaluating population connectivity levels from genetic
    data.
