Evidence of historical isolation and genetic structuring among broadnose sevengill sharks (Notorynchus cepedianus) from the world’s major oceanic regions

Cosmopolitan marine pelagic species display variable patterns of population connectivity among the world’s major oceans. While this information is crucial for informing management, information is lacking for many ecologically important species, including apex predators. In this study we examine patt...

Summary:Cosmopolitan marine pelagic species display variable patterns of population connectivity among the world’s major oceans. While this information is crucial for informing management, information is lacking for many ecologically important species, including apex predators. In this study we examine patterns of genetic structure in the broadnose sevengill shark, Notorynchus cepedianus across its global distribution. We estimate patterns of connectivity among broadnose sevengill shark populations from three major oceanic regions (South Atlantic, Oceania and Eastern Pacific) by contrasting mitochondrial and nuclear DNA haplotype frequencies. We also produced time calibrated Bayesian Inference phylogenetic reconstructions to analyses global phylogeographic patterns and estimate divergence times among distinctive shark lineages. Our results demonstrate significant genetic differentiation among oceanic regions ( Φ ST  = 0.9789, P
