VIII Resumo Dias, Ricardo Marques. Evolução e biodiversidade de peixes recifais criptobentônicos do oceano Atlântico. Rio de Janeiro, 2019. Tese(Doutorado em Ciências Biológicas - Pós Graduação em Biodiversidade e Biologia Evolutiva). Instituto de Biologia, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, 2019. Nesta tese foi analisada a filogeografia e sistemática molecular de três espécies de peixes recifais criptobentônicos amplamente distribuídas no Oceano Atlântico, mas com padrões biogeográficos distintos, sendo eles: Parablennius marmoreus (Poey, 1876) com distribuição mais restrita, endêmica do Atlântico ocidental, ocorrendo de Nova York até Santa Catarina (Carvalho-Filho, 1999); Malacoctenus triangulatus (Springer, 1959) com distribuição intermediária, ocorrendo na costa ocidental e nas ilhas oceânicas do Atlântico (Mendes, 2006) e Parablennius pilicornis (Cuvier, 1829) com distribuição anfi-Atlântico (Bath, 1990). Foram utilizados quatro marcadores moleculares com diferentes taxas de evolução - dois marcadores nucleares (rodopsina e o intron S7) e dois mitocondriais (citocromo oxidase I e citocromo b) - com o objetivo de: I) investigar a ocorrência de espécies crípticas ao longo da ampla distribuição das espécies; II) analisar a estrutura populacional; III) elucidar a existência de barreiras geográficas e seus respectivos papeis na especiação; IV) produzir instrumentos auxiliares para a conservação das espécies. Os resultados indicaram que as três espécies analisadas tratam-se de complexos de espécies: A) complexo P. marmoreus - existência de pelo menos duas linhagens (Caribe e costa brasileira); B) complexo M. triangulatus - pelo menos três linhagens altamente estruturadas (província caribenha, ilhas oceânicas do nordeste e outra ao longo da costa brasileira); C) complexo P. pilicornis - três linhagens alopátricas (Atlântico sul ocidental, Atlântico norte oriental e uma terceira restrita ao sudoeste do Oceano Índico). Estes resultados reforçam a importância de três conhecidas barreiras biogeográficas que atuam na bacia do Atlântico, sendo elas: a barreira do meso-atlântico, a pluma do Amazonas-Orinoco e a de Benguela, que desempenham um importante papel na origem e manutenção da diversificação de peixes recifais do Oceano Atlântico, não apenas restringindo a dispersão, mas também permitindo cruzamentos ocasionais, levando ao estabelecimento de novas populações e espécies em alopatria. Além disso, estes resultados implicam em uma distribuição mais restrita e menor tamanho populacional, consequentemente reduzindo a capacidade de resiliência destas linhagens. Portanto, sugerimos que essas linhagens tenham seu status taxonômico verificado, através de uma abordagem taxonômica integrativa, o que permitiria uma precisa avaliação do real status de conservação da diversidade genética destes complexos de espécies. IX Abstract Dias, Ricardo Marques. Evolução e biodiversidade de peixes recifais criptobentônicos do oceano Atlântico. Rio de Janeiro, 2019. Tese (Doutorado em Ciências Biológicas - Pós Graduação em Biodiversidade e Biologia Evolutiva). Instituto de Biologia, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, 2019. This thesis analyses the phylogeography and molecular systematics of three species of cryptobenthic reef fishes widely distributed in the Atlantic Ocean, but with distinct biogeographic patterns: Parablennius marmoreus (Poey, 1876) with a more restricted distribution, endemic to the western Atlantic, occurring New York to Santa Catarina (Carvalho-Filho, 1999); Malacoctenus triangulatus (Springer, 1959) with an intermediate distribution, occurring on the western coast and in the Atlantic ocean islands (Mendes, 2006) and Parablennius pilicornis (Cuvier, 1829) with a wide amphi-Atlantic distribution (Bath, 1990). Four molecular markers with different evolution rates were used - two nuclear markers (rhodopsin and the S7 intron) and two mitochondrial (cytochrome oxidase I and cytochrome b) - in order to: I) investigate the occurrence of cryptic species along the wide distribution of species; II) analyse the population structure; III) elucidate the existence of geographical barriers and their respective role in speciation; IV) produce auxiliary instruments for the conservation of species. The results indicated that the three species analysed are complexes of species: A) P. marmoreus complex - existence of at least two lineages (Caribbean and Brazilian coast); B) M. triangulatus complex - at least three highly structured strains (Caribbean province, northeastern ocean islands and another along the Brazilian coast); C) P. pilicornis complex - three allopatric strains (southwestern Atlantic, northeastern Atlantic and southwestern Indian Ocean). These results reinforce the importance of three known biogeographic barriers that act in the Atlantic basin, which are: the barrier of the mid-Atlantic, the plume of the Amazon-Orinoco and Benguela, which play an important role in the origin and maintenance of diversification of reef fish in the Atlantic Ocean, not only restricting the dispersion but also allowing occasional crosses, leading to the establishment of new populations and species in allopatry. In addition, these results imply a more restricted distribution and smaller population size, consequently reducing the resilience capacity of these lineages. Therefore, we suggest that these lineages have their taxonomic status verified, through an integrative taxonomic approach, which would allow an accurate assessment of the real conservation status of the genetic diversity of these species complexes.

Introdução geral 2 Introdução Geral Os ambientes de recife abrigam aproximadamente um terço da biodiversidade global de peixes marinhos (Spalding & Grenfell, 1997), essa elevada biodiversidade é notável, dada a baixa cobertura espacial global dos ambientes recifais em comparação com o oceano aberto. Uma grande parte dessa diversidade (pelo menos 44%) é composta de peixes recifais criptobentônicos (Brandl et al., 2018). Além de imensa contribuição para a biodiversidade dos recifes de corais como um todo, os peixes recifais criptobentônicos podem fornecer importantes serviços ecossistêmicos ao recife, atuando como um elo trófico, ciclando energia trófica de presas microscópicas para consumidores maiores (Brandl et al., 2019). As altas taxas de diversificação dos peixes recifais criptobentônicospodem ser associadas a aspectos de sua biologia, como: 1) pequeno tamanho corpóreo, tipicamente menores que 5 cm; 2) intima associação com o substrato; 3) baixa capacidade de dispersão (desova bentônica e curto período larval) e 4) limitada mobilidade quando adultos (Miller, 1979; Depczynski & Bellwood, 2003), fornecendo assim mecanismos para que uma rápida diversificação possa ocorrer. As características 1 e 2 possibilitam a exploração de micro- habitats podendo levar ao particionamento de nicho em múltiplas escalas, enquanto as características 3 e 4 tornam as espécies mais propensas a eventos de especiação alopátrica (Brandl et al., 2018). Além da alta diversificação, tais características geralmente implicam em uma distribuição mais restrita (Horn et al., 1999). Em habitats marinhos, espécies cujos adultos possuem hábitos sedentários, pequena área de vida e reduzida capacidade de dispersão por longas distâncias, são bons candidatos para estudos filogeográficos (Floeter et al., 2008; Rocha et al., 2002). A filogeografia pode ser definida como o estudo dos princípios e processos que determinam a distribuição geográfica de linhagens genealógicas, principalmente aqueles entre 3 táxons proximamente relacionados (Avise, 2004; Martins & Domingues, 2010). Desta forma, podemos usar informações genealógicas e geológicas para inferir os processos históricos e demográficos que moldaram a evolução das linhagens (Kuchta & Meyer, 2001), o que nos permite formular hipóteses sobre como as populações se comportaram historicamente com as mudanças geográficas (Moritz & Faith, 1998; Carnaval, 2002). Estudos filogeográficos buscam revelar a história biogeográfica das espécies e dos habitats que elas ocupam por meio da associação espacial entre agrupamentos de alelos com barreiras geográficas e/ou ecológicas (Avise 2010). A análise e interpretação da distribuição das linhagens requerem o processamento conjunto de informações de uma série de disciplinas, incluindo a sistemática filogenética, genética de populações, etologia, demografia, paleontologia, geologia e modelos paleogeográficos e paleoclimáticos. Dessa forma, o caráter multidisciplinar da filogeografia cria uma ponte entre os processos micro e macroevolutivos (Martins & Domingues, 2010). Diante deste contexto, a análise da distribuição de peixes recifais sob a orientação da teoria filogeográfica pode elucidar o local das barreiras geográficas e seu papel na especiação (Randall, 1998). De fato, diversos estudos filogeográficos de peixes recifais têm contribuído para o maior entendimento dos padrões evolutivos e biogeográficos observados na ictiofauna do Atlântico (e.g. Briggs & Bowen, 2012; Bowen et al., 2013; Cowman, 2014; Neves et al., 2016; Rodríguez-Rey et al., 2017; Gwillian et al., 2018). Apesar de um aumento substancial no conhecimento sobre a biogeografia e evolução dos peixes recifais do Oceano Atlântico (Floeter et al., 2008; Pinheiro et al., 2018), muitas questões sobre os processos evolutivos e padrões biogeográficos ainda não foram resolvidos, principalmente envolvendo peixes recifais criptobentônicos, que devido a suas características crípticas tem recebido menos atenção do que espécies mais conspícuas (Ahmadia et al., 2012). Além disso, poucos estudos tentaram delimitar linhagens inter e intraespecíficas usando dados moleculares, o que poderia melhorar nossa compreensão sobre as barreiras 4 geográficas, a estrutura populacional e os limites geográficos das espécies de organismos marinhos do Atlântico (Turchetto-Zolet et al. 2013). Todavia, no ambiente marinho, as barreiras ao fluxo gênico são difíceis de se caracterizar e raramente são absolutas (Rocha et al., 2007). Dentro da Bacia do Oceano Atlântico, são reconhecidas três importantes barreiras biogeográficas: meso-atlântico, pluma do Amazonas-Orinoco e o sistema de afloramento de Benguela. Essas barreiras desempenham um papel significativo na geração e manutenção da biodiversidade dos organismos marinhos no Oceano Atlântico (Briggs & Bowen, 2013). A mais antiga, a barreira do meso-Atlântico começou a se formar após a separação da África e da América do Sul, aproximadamente há 84 milhões de anos (Pérez-Díaz & Eagles, 2017), criando uma lacuna que se expandiu até aproximadamente 3500 km ao longo da zona equatorial do Atlântico, representando uma distância extrema em relação à dispersão larval regular de organismos marinhos (Bowen et al., 2006; Luiz et al., 2012). A segunda barreira a se formar foi a da pluma do Amazonas- Orinoco, que se tornou efetiva no Neógeno, aproximadamente entre 6,8 e 4,5 milhões de anos atrás, separando os ambientes recifais brasileiros e caribenhos, sendo reconhecida como uma influente barreira na formação de pares de espécies irmãs, principalmente para espécies de peixes recifais de águas rasas (Rocha, 2003; Floeter et al., 2008; Rodríguez-Rey et al., 2017). Por fim, a barreira mais recente, conhecida como o sistema de afloramento de Benguela (zona de ressurgência), se tornou pronunciada há aproximadamente 2 milhões de anos atrás, ao longo da costa atlântica do sul da África (Marlow et al., 2000). Essa barreira proporciona limitações ao fluxo gênico entre a população dos oceanos Atlântico e Índico meridional, especialmente para espécies de águas rasas (Reid et al., 2016), formando a zona de transição Índico/Oceano Atlântico. Essa zona de transição foi identificada como uma ruptura filogeográfica em algumas espécies costeiras de peixes de recife (Grant & Bowen, 1998; Teske et al., 2011; Henrique et al., 2012, 2014, 2015; Reid et al., 2016; Gwilliam et al., 2018). Além da presença dessas barreiras, outras características tais como a íntima associação 5 com o bentos, seu comportamento críptico, ovos demersais protegidos pelo macho e fase larval curta (Almeida et al., 1980; Depczynski & Bellwood, 2003; Beldade et al., 2007) podem afetar a capacidade de dispersão das espécies de peixes recifais criptobentônicos, o que pode levar à estruturação genética entre suas populações (Hohenlohe, 2004; Cowen & Sponaugle, 2009). Investigações sobre filogeografia e filogenética de peixes recifais criptobentônicos do Atlântico ainda são raros (e.g. Muss et al., 2001; Almeida 2011; Neves et al., 2016; Rodríguez-Rey et al., 2017; Lastrucci et al., 2018). Estes trabalhos permitem entender os processos evolutivos que atuaram e influenciaram a atual distribuição das espécies (Hickerson et al., 2010), e tem revelado uma alta diversidade críptica, sendo as espécies muitas vezes concordantes com os limites biogeográficos conhecidos (Rodríguez-Rey et al., 2017; Lastrucci et al., 2018). Com base no exposto acima, o principal objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar os padrões biogeográficos e os processos evolutivos que moldaram a atual distribuição dos peixes recifais criptobentônicos do oceano Atlântico, com base em estudos filogeográficos de três espécies de peixes amplamente distribuídas no Oceano Atlântico, mas com padrões biogeográficos distintos: Parablennius marmoreus (Poey, 1876) com distribuição mais restrita, endêmica do Atlântico ocidental, ocorrendo de Nova York até Santa Catarina (Carvalho-Filho, 1999); Malacoctenus triangulatus (Springer, 1959) com distribuição intermediária, ocorrendo na costa ocidental e nas ilhas oceânicas do Atlântico (Mendes, 2006) e Parablennius pilicornis (Cuvier, 1829) com distribuição anfiatlântica (Bath, 1990).

E-mail address: ricdias77@gmail.com 10 Abstract Parablennius marmoreus is a widely distributed cryptobenthic fish endemic to the western Atlantic from New York, on the northeastern coast of the USA, to Santa Catarina, on the southeastern coast of Brazil. However, the combination of its association with benthic environments, the low mobility of adult individuals, its cryptic behavior, demersal eggs, and short larval phase, may combine to affect the species’ dispersal ability, which may lead to genetic structuring among its populations. In this study, we conducted phylogeographic analyses of P. marmoreus based on mitochondrial (cytochrome oxidase I) and nuclear (first intron S7) genes, across its distribution in the western Atlantic. Our results indicated the existence of two consistently structured lineages within P. marmoreus: one in the northwestern Atlantic and the other restricted to the Brazilian provinces in the southwestern Atlantic, both probably isolated by the Amazon River barrier. Additionally, even though the Brazilian coast is a highly heterogeneous environment, no genetic structure was detected among P. marmoreus lineages over its large extension. However, our results suggest that the biodiversity of the species complex in the Tropical Northwestern Atlantic province is still underestimated. Together, these results provide insights on the evolutionary patterns and oceanographic barriers in the western tropical Atlantic. Key words Blennioidei, Phylogeography, Evolution, Amazon river barrier, Species complex 11 Introduction Phylogeographic studies have contributed to understanding the evolution and distribution patterns of reef fishes, via the spatial association between clusters of alleles and geographic/ecological barriers (Avise, 2009). In coastal marine environments, the barriers to gene flow are difficult to characterize and are rarely absolute (Rocha, 2007). In the Western Atlantic, the most important known biogeographic barrier is the freshwater discharge of the Orinoco and Amazon rivers that separated the Brazilian and Caribbean provinces approximately 7 million years ago (Mya) (Figueiredo et al., 2009; Hoorn et al., 2010). This barrier not only restricts dispersal, but also allows occasional crossings, leading to the establishment of new populations and species in allopatry or parapatry (Floeter et al., 2008). Similarly, several studies have recognized the Amazon-Orinoco plume in the North Brazil Shelf (NBS) province (sensu Spalding et al., 2007) as an influential barrier to the formation of pairs of sister species of shallow-reef fishes in the Western Tropical Atlantic (Rocha, 2003; Floeter et al., 2008; Rodríguez-Rey et al., 2017). Despite increased knowledge about the biogeography and evolution of southwestern Atlantic reef fish (Floeter et al., 2008; Pinheiro et al., 2018), many questions about evolutionary processes and biogeographic patterns remain to be settled. In particular, cryptobenthic reef fish have received far less attention than more conspicuous species, due to their cryptic features (Ahmadia et al., 2012), even though cryptobenthic reef fish make up a considerable fraction of total fish diversity on coral reefs (Depczynski et al., 2007; Eschmeyer et al., 2010; Allen, 2015). In addition, few studies have attempted to delimit inter- and intraspecific lineages using molecular data, which could improve our understanding of species boundaries, population structure, and geographical barriers of Atlantic marine organisms (Turchetto-Zolet et al., 2013). Moreover, if the marine provinces inhabited by the species coincide with important geographic or ecological barriers, fine-scale genetic structure may 12 also occur. This is the case for different western Atlantic marine organisms: isopods (Mattos et al., 2018), polychaetes (Barroso et al., 2010), crabs (Gama-Maia et al., 2016; Mattos et al., 2018), and fishes (Mai et al., 2014; Victor, 2015; Rodríguez-Rey et al., 2017; Dias et al., 2019). Nevertheless, the patterns and processes underlying the genetic distribution of marine organisms in South America are largely unknown, and research on these topics can help understand macroecological patterns and the impacts of geological features on species diversification, as well as identify areas of high conservation priority (Turchetto-Zolet et al., 2013). The seaweed blenny, Parablennius marmoreus (Poey, 1875), is a cryptobenthic fish endemic to the western Atlantic (Levy et al., 2013). According to Carvalho-Filho (1999), the species has a wide distribution, occurring from New York, on the northeastern coast of the USA, to Santa Catarina, on the southeastern coast of Brazil. Its wide distribution encompasses six biogeographic provinces (sensu Spalding et al., 2007), three in northwestern Atlantic (NWA) – Cold Temperate Northwest Atlantic, Warm Temperate Northwest Atlantic, Tropical Northwestern Atlantic – and three in the southwestern Atlantic (SWA) – North Brazil Shelf, Tropical Southwestern Atlantic, and Warm Temperate Southwestern Atlantic. These marine provinces are cohesive ecological units that are likely to encompass the life history of many taxa – from the most sedentary species to mobile and dispersive ones – via geographic isolation, upwelling, nutrient inputs, freshwater influx, temperature regimes, sediments, currents, and bathymetric or coastal complexity (Spalding et al., 2007). However, recent assessments of the reef fish assemblages from the North-Northeast subprovince on the Brazilian coast (sensu Pinheiro et al., 2018) suggest that P. marmoreus does not occur in this subprovince (Rocha & Rosa, 2001; Honório & Ramos, 2010; Garcia et al., 2015; Moura et al., 2016). Moreover, its close association with the benthos, the low mobility of adult individuals, its cryptic behavior, demersal eggs, and short larval phase (Brogan, 1994; Depczynski & Bellwood, 2003) may combine to affect the species’ dispersal 13 ability, which may lead to genetic structuring among its populations (Hohenlohe, 2004; Cowen & Sponaugle, 2009). Currently, the seaweed blenny is listed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as ‘least concern’ (Williams, 2014), despite it still being unclear whether it actually corresponds to a single species, if genetic diversity is partitioned evenly across the species range, or if populations are connected by geneflow. Our hypothesis is that P. marmoreus populations are genetically structured in two lineages, one occurring in the northwestern Atlantic and the other in the southwestern Atlantic, as a result of the influence of the Amazon-Orinoco Plume barrier. Thus, the main goal of this study was to investigate phylogeographic patterns in P. marmoreus in the western tropical Atlantic. The specific objectives were: (1) to determine the genetic structure of P. marmoreus across its entire geographic distribution, identifying its main genetic lineages; and (2) to investigate the influence of the Amazon-Orinoco Plume barrier on the genetic structuring of P. marmoreus. Materials and methods Sampling Parablennius marmoreus individuals (Fig. 1) were collected using hand nets or plastic bags during daytime SCUBA and free-dives in shallow waters. Samples were collected between November 2015 and October 2017 at six localities across its distribution in the western Atlantic: one in the NWA (USA) – Blue Heron Bridge, Florida [FL] (26°47’00”N 80°02’26”W; N = 10); and five in the SWA (Brazil) – Frades Island, Bahia [BA] (12°46’47”S 38°37’06”W; N = 14); Rasas Islands, Espírito Santo [ES] (20°40’40”S 40°21’55”W; N = 13); Arraial do Cabo, Rio de Janeiro [RJ] (22°57’54”S 42°00’30”W; N = 14); Cabras Island, São Paulo [SP] (23°49’47”S 45°23’31”W; N = 15); and Xavier Island, Santa Catarina [SC] (27°36’36”S 48°23’13”W; N = 12) (Fig. 2 and Online Resource 1). Specimens were anesthetized and euthanized with a eugenol-alcohol solution 14 according to Fernandes et al. (2017), prior to the removal of a small sample of muscle tissue, which was preserved in anhydrous ethanol. All specimens were deposited in the fish collections of Museu Nacional/Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (MNRJ) (Online Resource 1). Samples were obtained under permits 50598-3/2017, issued by Ministério do Meio Ambiente do Brasil/Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade/Sistema de Autorização e Informação em Biodiversidade (SISBIO), and 02-002040, issued by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Division of Marine Fisheries Management (FWC/MFM). Additional sequences of P. marmoreus individuals from five localities in the NWA – Florida [FL], Blue Heron Bridge (26°47’00”N 80°02’26”W; N = 11) and Florida Keys (24°39’25”N 81°17’49”W; N = 1); Trinidad and Tobago [TT] (11°19’15”N 60°32’56”W; N = 3); Mexico [MX] (21°29’09”N 86°48’14”W; N = 8); and Panama [PA] (9°22’30”N 79°57’32”W; N = 1) – were obtained from GenBank and BOLD (Barcode of Life Data System) (Online Resource 1) to extend the molecular analysis to other localities. DNA extraction, amplification, and sequencing Genomic DNA was extracted from muscle tissue samples of each specimen using the DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany). One fragment each of mitochondrial DNA, cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), and nuclear DNA (first intron of the nuclear S7 ribosomal protein gene, S7) were amplified using the following primers: COI – Fish F1 (5' TCA ACC AAC CAC AAA GAC ATT GGC AC 3') and Fish R1 (5' TAG ACT TCT GGG TGG CCA AAG AAT CA 3') (Ward et al., 2005), and S7 – S7RPEX1F (5' TGG CCT CTT CCT TGG CCG TC 3') and S7RPEX2R (5' AAC TCG TCT GGC TTT TCG CC 3') (Chow & Hazama, 1998). Amplification reactions included 1 µl DNA, 10 µl Taq Master Mix (Promega, Madison, WI, USA), 5 µl Miliq water, and 2 µl of each primer in a final volume of 20 µl. All reactions were performed with an initial denaturation step of 4 min at 94 °C, followed by 35 15 cycles of 1 min of denaturation at 94 °C, 1 min of annealing at 50 °C, and 1 min of extension at 72 °C; and a final extension of 5 min at 72 °C. Both strands of the PCR products were purified and sequenced by Macrogen Inc. (Korea). The forward and reverse sequences obtained were edited using Seqman 5.01 (DNASTAR Inc., http://www.dnastar.com), aligned by the ClustalW algorithm implemented in MEGA 6.0 (Tamura et al., 2013), and checked manually for misalignments. The phase of diploid nuclear sequences was reconstructed using PHASE (Stephens & Donnelly, 2001) as implemented in DnaSP 5.10 (Librado & Rozas, 2009), using default settings and including in the proceeding analyses only allelic states with probability higher than 70%, as recommended by Stephens et al. (2004). All haplotype sequences were deposited in GenBank (Online Resource 1). The heterozygous sequences were deposited in GenBank with the degenerate bases following the IUPAC ambiguity code. Phylogenetic analysis The phylogenetic analysis was performed by Bayesian speciation birth–death model to allow for inter- and intraspecific variations in the dataset following Ritchie et al. (2016), using BEAST 1.7 (Drummond et al., 2012). The analysis was conducted with a relaxed lognormal clock and uncorrelated substitution rates among branches, using default priors and run for 20 million generations, with sampling every 2000 generations. The convergence among Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) was checked using Tracer 1.7 (Rambaut et al., 2018), with the first 15% of trees removed as burn-in, and a consensus tree assessing the posterior probability values of each clade was generated using TreeAnnotator 1.8.1 software (Drummond et al., 2012). Molecular clock calibration was specific for mitochondrial fragment COI based on the sequence divergence between Hypsoblennius invemar Smith-Vaniz & Acero, 1980 from the Gulf of Mexico, Texas and Hypsoblennius brevipinnis ( nther, 1861) from the Pacific coast of Panama, assuming the two species diverged after the formation of the Isthmus of Panama (ca. 3.5 Mya). Mean net genetic divergence between this pair of species was calculated with 16 MEGA 6.0 (Tamura et al., 2013) using the Kimura 2-parameter distance model (K2P) (Kimura, 1980). The net average distance (divergence estimate) between this pair of species was 0.165 substitutions per site. The substitution rate (half the divergence estimate) divided by 3.5 Myr gives a clock rate estimate of 0.02 substitutions per site per Myr, according to Levy et al. (2013). The nucleotide substitution model was selected using the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) as implemented in jModelTest 2.1 (Posada, 2008), which suggested the HKY+I and HKY+G models for the COI and S7 data sets, respectively. The data set included all the COI and S7 haplotypes of P. marmoreus and additional sequences of Lipophrys pholis (Linnaeus, 1758) (GenBank), selected as the outgroup taxon (Online Resource 1). Nucleotide divergences were estimated in MEGA 6.0 (Tamura et al., 2013) using the K2P model (Kimura, 1980). Two species delimitation methods were implemented on the COI data set, the Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery (ABGD; Puillandre et al., 2012) and the Poisson Tree Processes (PTP; Zhang et al., 2013). The ABGD method was calculated using K80 distance in the online version (http://wwwabi.snv.jussieu.fr/public/abgd/abgdweb.html, last accessed 07 December 2018), whereas the PTP method was estimated in the web interface of Bayesian PTP (bPTP) (http://species.h-its.org/ptp/, last accessed 07 December 2018), using the estimated maximum-likelihood (ML) trees as the input tree and 5×10 5 MCMC generations. Phylogeographic analyses The genealogical relationships among haplotypes were assessed by constructing haplotype networks with PopART 1.7 (Leigh & Bryant, 2015) using the TCS method (Clement et al., 2002). The haplotype networks were individually constructed for each marker (COI and S7). The genetic diversity parameters of the P. marmoreus lineages, including number of haplotypes (H), number of polymorphic sites (S), haplotype diversity (h), and nucleotide diversity (π) were estimated in ARLEQUIN 3.5 (Excoffier & Fischer, 2010). http://www.abi.snv.jussieu.fr/public/abgd/abgdweb.html 17 The population geneticstructure of P. marmoreus was first estimated by the fixation index (FST), with 1000 random permutations to test whether the null hypothesis of no population genetic structure could be rejected. Next, three different a priori hypotheses were tested using the analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) on the COI data set (broader geographical representation). Firstly, using all samples, we tested: (1) a hypothesis based on the influence of the Amazon-Orinoco plume as a barrier to gene flow of shallow-reef fishes between the northwestern and southwestern Atlantic (NWA/SWA); and (2) a hypothesis based on the three provinces sampled – Tropical Northwestern Atlantic (FL+MX+TT)/Tropical Southwestern Atlantic (BA+ES+RJ)/Warm Temperate Southwestern Atlantic (SP+SC) as proposed by Spalding et al. (2007). Next, using samples from the southwestern Atlantic, we tested (3) a hypothesis based on the two provinces sampled in the Brazilian coast – Tropical Southwestern Atlantic (BA+ES+RJ)/Warm Temperate Southwestern Atlantic (SP+SC). The FST values and AMOVA were calculated in ARLEQUIN 3.5 (Excoffier & Fischer, 2010). In addition, to infer multilocus genetic structure in the P. marmoreus complex, we performed Bayesian assignment tests using both mitochondrial (COI) and nuclear (S7) genes in GENELAND (Guillot et al., 2005; R Development Core Team 2006). The following parameters: ten independent runs, 300,000 Markov chain Monte Carlo iterations of K from 1 to 10, sampling every 300 iterations, and the first 300 samples removed as burn-in were used to determine the most probable number of populations and detect possible spatial genetic breaks among lineages without previously assigning individuals to any cluster. Results We recovered 587-bp sequences for COI from 101 P. marmoreus individuals, resulting in 44 polymorphic sites and 28 haplotypes, and 452-bp sequences for S7 from 51 individuals, with 57 polymorphic sites and 54 phased alleles. COI nucleotide diversity was low to moderate 18 (overall π = 0.01; range: 0.0002–0.0126), and haplotype diversity was low to high (overall h = 0.622; range: 0.133–1.0) (Online Resource 2). Phylogenetic analysis of COI and S7 markers showed congruent topologies forming two major geographical clades: one comprised the samples from the northwestern Atlantic (NWA clade), which may be referred to as P. marmoreus sensu stricto and forms the sister group of a SWA clade that includes individuals from the Brazilian coast in the southwestern Atlantic (Fig. 3). The divergence time between clades was approximately 650 thousand years ago (ka) (COI) [95% Highest Posterior Density (HPD) = 0.42–0.92 ka] in the Middle Pleistocene. The NWA clade diverged from the SWA clade by 2.3% for COI and 3.9% for S7 (K2P distances). In addition, the ABDG species delimitation method based on the COI dataset recovered the same two lineages (NWA and SWA) in the P. marmoreus complex. Considering a prior maximum divergence of intraspecific diversity (P) of 0.001–0.0046, the ABGD method indicated that all individuals from the NWA (MX+TT+FL) belong to the same lineage (NWA clade), whereas all the individuals from the Brazilian coast (BA+ES+RJ+SP+SC) belong to another lineage (SWA clade) (Fig. 3). Likewise, the bPTP method also identified that the individuals from the Brazilian coast belong to the same lineage (SWA clade), with a posterior probability of 0.822. However, the bPTP method indicated that individuals from the Caribbean province (NWA clade) belong to four different lineages (Fig. 3). The COI and S7 haplotype networks showed the lack of shared haplotypes between samples from the NWA clade and the SWA clade, which were separated by at least 14 mutational steps (COI) and 16 mutational steps (S7). In the SWA clade, only one haplotype was shared among all localities and with high frequency, whereas all others were exclusive haplotypes with low frequency. In contrast, in the NWA clade, three different haplogroups were recovered from the COI dataset one exclusive to Trinidad and Tobago, with two 19 haplotypes, one exclusive to Mexico, with six haplotypes, and another, with 12 haplotypes, shared between Florida and Mexico (Fig. 4). The AMOVA performed with the COI data set showed statistically significant results for all hypotheses tested; however, when all samples were included, most of the genetic variation (K = 2, ΦCT = 80.74%) was explained by the differences between groups (NWA and SWA), supporting the Amazon-Orinoco barrier hypothesis. For populations within the SWA, the genetic variation was best explained by partitioning within populations (ΦST = 93.6%) (Table 1). The pairwise FST values revealed significant differences between the NWA clade (MX+TT+FL) and SWA clade (BA+ES+RJ+SP+SC) localities (FST = 0.70325–0.99205), between NWA localities (MX, TT, and FL) (FST = 0.38776–0.89968), and between Xavier Island (SC) (the southernmost coastal locality sampled here) and all other Brazilian localities (BA, ES, RJ, and SP) (FST = 0.10075–0.13476) (Table 2). In addition, the multilocus GENELAND analysis suggested two genetically different groups consistent with the phylogenetic analysis (K = 2, Fig. 5a). One genetic cluster comprises sampling localities from the NWA (FL, MX, and TT) and the other consists of sampling localities from the SWA (BA, ES, RJ, SP, and SC) (Fig. 5). Discussion Main lineages in the Parablennius marmoreus complex The phylogeographic analyses of the Parablennius marmoreus species complex revealed the presence of at least two lineages distributed throughout the western tropical Atlantic, one from the northwestern Atlantic and the other from the southwestern Atlantic. However, the biodiversity of the group in the NWA may still be underestimated, as only one of the three biogeographical provinces that encompass the region was sampled (Tropical Northwestern Atlantic). In fact, our results (bPTP species delimitation method, Fig. 3a and haplotype 20 network, Fig. 4a) suggest that the biodiversity in the Tropical Northwestern Atlantic province is still underestimated, although a similar degree of cryptic genetic diversity was detected in three other cryptobenthic reef fish species studied in the same area (Victor, 2015; Dias et al., 2019). The populations of cryptobenthic reef fishes can quickly become isolated from each other by the appearance of new physical barriers to gene flow. In addition, reproductive incompatibility may evolve rapidly due to rapid generation turnover, whereas barriers to gene flow may be partially permeable or temporary and can consist of strong or temporally transient surface currents or temporary land barriers exposed during glacioeustatic sea-level fluctuations (Cowman & Bellwood, 2011; Brandl et al., 2018). The pattern of high cryptic genetic diversity observed for the P. marmoreus lineage from the Tropical Northwestern Atlantic province may reflect more general biogeographic patterns for the Caribbean province and, according to Victor (2015), demersal-spawning fishes, especially the gobioid and blennioid perciforms, exhibit a pattern of cryptic speciation into parapatric species complexes in the Caribbean province. Regarding the southwestern Atlantic lineage, although the Brazilian coast is a highly heterogeneous environment, influenced by different marine currents and freshwater and sediment flows, overall no genetic structure was found over its large extension. The only exception was the southernmost locality (SC), where there was a weak sign of structuring compared to the other localities (BA, ES, RJ, and SP) (Table 2). The influence of recurring sea-level changes during Pleistocene glacial-interglacial cycles on the speciation of P. marmoreus The differentiation of P. marmoreus lineages from the NWA and SWA can be attributed to an allopatric speciationprocess, with the Amazon-Orinoco plume likely acting as a geographical barrier. This riverine complex has already been recognized by several authors as an influential barrier to the formation of pairs of sister species of shallow-water reef fishes in the western 21 tropical Atlantic (Rocha, 2003; Rocha, 2004; Bernal & Rocha, 2011; Dias et al., 2019). Indeed, small-body cryptobenthic species with demersal-spawning or brooding seem to be most affected by the Amazon River freshwater and sediment discharge (Floeter et al., 2008). Using AMOVA with the mtDNA COI data set, we found support for this scenario, with 80.74% of all genetic variance partitioned between the NWA and SWA lineages (Table 1). In addition, the spatial assignment of individual multilocus genotypes to the two inferred genetic clusters allowed identify a possible association of the Amazon barrier with the process of divergence between P. marmoreus (Fig. 5). However, our results indicated that the divergence between P. marmoreus lineages from the NWA and SWA occurred during the Pleistocene (approximately 650 ka, Fig. 3). This is much later than the time when the Amazon River began to flow to the Atlantic in the Neogene (roughly 6.8–4.5 Mya, Hoorn et al., 2010), becoming an influential biogeographic barrier (the Amazon-Orinoco plume) to the formation of pairs of sister species between tropical habitats of the Caribbean and Brazilian provinces (Rocha, 2003). Similarly, several pairs of sister species of shallow-water reef fish that are present on both sides of the Amazon River barrier diverged much later than the emergence of this barrier. (Rocha et al., 2002; Rocha, 2004; Robertson et al., 2006; Rodríguez-Rey et al., 2017). The effectiveness of the Amazon barrier was strongly influenced by recurrent sea-level changes during Pleistocene glacial-interglacial cycles, a period of intermittent connectivity between the Caribbean and Brazilian provinces (Moura et al., 2016; Rodríguez-Rey et al., 2017). Fluctuations in the effectiveness of this natural barrier may provide a mechanism for much of the recent diversification of reef fishes in the western Atlantic (Floeter et al., 2008). Although the Amazon-Orinoco plume may be an influential biogeographic barrier to promote divergence of P. marmoreus lineages from the Caribbean and Brazilian provinces, the absence of P. marmoreus populations in the North-Northeast subprovince on the Brazilian coast cannot be attributed to this barrier. Instead, the absence of P. marmoreus in this region south of the Amazon-Orinoco plume may be the result of a local extinction process, due to 22 loss of habitat during the Last Glacial maximum (Ludt & Rocha, 2015). In fact, unlike the southeastern Brazilian continental shelf, the northeastern coastal shelf is narrow and shallow, and has a significantly smaller coastal area during sea-level lowstands, which might have resulted in a higher rate of extinction of shallow-water marine taxa in the North-Northeast subprovince (Rocha, 2003; Ludt & Rocha, 2015; Pinheiro et al., 2018). Therefore, the recurring sea-level changes during Pleistocene glacial-interglacial cycles, which have directly increased the effectiveness of the Amazon barrier and reduced the availability of habitable shallow areas, mainly in the North-Northeast subprovince, may have indirectly driven the divergence of P. marmoreus lineages from the Caribbean and Brazilian provinces. Taxonomic implications Molecular taxonomy gained traction in reef fish systematics in the early 2000s and, especially when combined with morphological approaches (Baldwin et al., 2011), led to a substantial increase in the number of cryptobenthic reef fish species known to science (Victor, 2015). Thus, several species complexes have been found in such unrelated marine organisms as fish (Santos et al., 2006; Baldwin et al., 2011; Rodríguez-Rey et al., 2017), polychaetes (Barroso et al., 2010), and crustaceans (Mattos et al., 2018). The two main P. marmoreus lineages (NWA and SWA) show consistent differentiation for both mitochondrial and nuclear markers, suggesting that these lineages should have their taxonomic status verified. However, to date, the single study that has examined the taxonomy of P. marmoreus in the Brazilian province using a morphological approach analyzed only specimens from the state of Rio de Janeiro (Rangel & Guimarães, 2010), without checking for possible morphological variations across its distribution. In most cases, reexamining coloration, pigmentation, and morphology across genetic groups reveals corresponding diagnostic characters, thus reinforcing the presence of new species (Brandl et al., 2018). 23 Implications for conservation The IUCN Red List is a critical indicator of the health of the world’s biodiversity. Far more than a list of species and their status, it is a powerful tool to inform and catalyze action for biodiversity conservation and policy change, critical to protecting natural resources (IUCN 2019). Currently, Parablennius marmoreus is considered by the IUCN a species widely distributed in the western Atlantic, from New York to Brazil, over shallow rocky reef habitats, with a presumed large overall population with no known major threats. Although it has been recorded in the commercial aquarium trade, current levels of exploitation are not considered to represent any threat to the species as a whole. Therefore, it is listed as ‘Least Concern’ (Williams, 2014). Our results showed that P. marmoreus is actually a species complex, with at least two distinct lineages: the NWA clade in the Caribbean province and the SWA clade restricted to the Brazilian provinces. This result implies a more restricted distribution and smaller population size, consequently reducing the resilience capacity of both lineages. Thus, future efforts should be directed at evaluating the actual conservation status of the P. marmoreus species complex. Acknowledgements We are grateful to N. Y. N. Dias, G. Araújo, R. Barroso, M.
