Wandering behaviour prevents inter and intra oceanic speciation in a coastal pelagic fish

Abstract Small pelagic fishes have the ability to disperse over long distances and may present complex evolutionary histories. Here, Old World Anchovies (OWA) were used as a model system to understand genetic patterns and connectivity of fish between the Atlantic and Pacific basins. We surveyed 16 l...
