TL;DR: Evidence is provided for a sharp phylogeographical break between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean for two (or possibly three) sparid species of the five investigated and the obtained results raise the question on which ecological/historical factors might have caused the observed discrepancy.

TL;DR: While D. puntazzo presented a marked genetic divergence between the Atlantic and Mediterranean samples, D. sargus showed little intraspecific differentiation, interpreted as the consequence of differences in the history of the two species such as fluctuations in the effective population size due to bottlenecks and expansions, possibly combined with present-day differences in levels of gene flow.

TL;DR: A rationalized approach, combining the SSCP technique and a simplified sequencing procedure, is proposed for studying intraspecific polymorphism at the mtDNA control region in fish.

TL;DR: Estimation of the ages of the two major lineages of this group of fish with a molecular clock suggests that they are much older than previously thought, and there should be no correlation between their diversification and the Miocene-Pliocene geological events, including the so-called Messinian salinity crisis.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that miR-885-5p is markedly reduced in CLE keratinocytes (KCs) with IFN-α and UVB being strong microRNA regulators in vitro.
