| Abstract |
Endemic to Antarctic ecosystems, the limpet Nacella (Patinigera) concinna (Strebel, 1908) is an abundant and dominant marine benthic invertebrate of the intertidal and shallow subtidal zone. In order to examine the phylogeographic pattern and historical demography of the species along the western Antarctic Peninsula, we amplified 663 bp of the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome oxidase subunit I of 161 N. concinna specimens from five localities, as well as two specimens from South Georgia and Sub-Antarctic Marion Island. As two different morphotypes, one characterized by an elevated shell in the intertidal and the other by a flat one in the subtidal, have been recurrently reported for this species, we also compared intertidal and subtidal samples from two localities of King George Island (Admiralty and Fildes Bay) through geometric morphometric and genetic analyses. As a result, elliptic Fourier analyses on shell shape morphology detected highly significant differences between intertidal and subtidal morphotypes. In contrast, mtDNA analyses between these morphotypes did not detect statistical differences between them and support the hypothesis that subtidal and intertidal N. concinna forms correspond to be the same population unit. |
