Description: The marine environment is punctuated by biogeographical barriers that limit dispersal and gene flow in otherwise widespread species (Teske et al., 2011a,b; Briggs & Bowen, 2012; Luiz et al., 2012). These barriers may be physical obstacles such as landmasses (e.g. Isthmus of Panama) or less intuitive features such as deep water (Lessios et al., 2003), freshwater outflows (Floeter et al., 2008) or oceanographic features (Shaw et al., 2004; Galarza et al., 2009; von der Heyden et al., 2011). Upwelling cells and sea surface temperature (SSTs) gradients in particular are known to disrupt gene flow, leading to divergence of allopatric populations and species (Waters & Roy, 2004; Teske et al., 2011a; Henriques et al., 2012, 2014, 2015). However, as oceanographic features are seldom permanent and frequently subject to considerable environmental variability, many barriers often permit some level of permeability to dispersal (Floeter et al., 2008). Other processes may influence the persistence of differentiated allopatric taxa across such physical barriers (Bradbury et al., 2008), with ecological divergence (and diversifying selection) being reported as a major evolutionary process influencing the biogeographical distributions of marine species (Pelc et al., 2009; Teske et al., 2011a; Gaither et al., 2015).
