| Lineage | From the species collected in the Falklands molecular-based analyses will be performed to further understand the processes involved in the origin and diversification of these groups in Antarctic and SubAntarctic waters at different temporal scales. Therefore the aim is to decipher the role of historical and contemporary climatic/oceanographic processes, as well as life-history traits, in the patterns of genetic diversity and structure in these groups of mollusks. Phylogenetic reconstructions and divergence time estimations will be used to evaluate the levels of genetic divergence among congeneric species currently found in different provinces of the Southern Ocean. The information contained in their DNA sequences will permit us to estimate and compare rhythms and trends in the diversification of these groups. Phylogeographic reconstructions based on mtDNA and nucDNA sequences will permit us to evaluate the impact of Quaternary glacial cycles over the patterns of genetic diversity and structure along a latitudinal gradient in different provinces of the Southern Ocean. Similarly, phylogeographic reconstructions based on microsatellites will be used to infer the possible role of connectivity within provinces of the Southern Ocean and over broad geographical scales.Finally, this research aims to expand our understanding of the biogeography of the Southern Ocean, and area of the world that has been relatively neglected in spite of its global importance. |
