Persistent genetic signatures of colonization inBrachionus manjavacasrotifers in the Iberian Peninsula

Recent phylogeographical assessments have consistently shown that continental zooplankton display high levels of population subdivision, despite the high dispersal capacity of their diapausing propagules. As such, there is an apparent paradox between observed cosmopolitanism in the zooplankton that is associated with long‐distance dispersal, and strong phylogeographical structures at a regional scale. Such population dynamics, far from...
