Epinephelidae (groupers) is an astonishingly diverse group of carnivorous fish widely distributed in reef environments around the world, with growing economic importance. The first chromosomal inferences suggested a conservative scenario for the family. However, to date, this has not been validated using biogeographic and phylogenetic approaches.

Wrasses (Labridae) are extremely diversified marine fishes, whose species exhibit complex interactions with the reef environment. They are widely distributed in the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic oceans. Their species have displayed a number of karyotypic divergent processes, including chromosomal regions with complex structural organization.

Article Synopsis
  • Research focuses on the connectivity of Brazilian reef fish populations, specifically the damselfish Chromis multilineata, between mainland shores and oceanic islands.
  • Data analysis of mtDNA sequences reveals three genetically distinct population groups along Brazil's northeast coast and around remote islands, with the highest genetic divergence found in the Saint Peter and Saint Paul Archipelago.
  • Findings suggest a higher level of genetic structure than previously thought, highlighting complex interactions between insular and coastal fish populations.
