GENERAL DISCUSSION 223-232 Ackowledgments/Agradecimientos 1 SUMMARY This dissertation is composed oLfu5cciohbaaprtbeurs which try to assess the evolutionary patterns of the genus Heckel, 1843 in the western Palearctic at different scales: from taxonomic remarks that have led to the description of new species, to the study of the phylogenetic relationships and the biogeographical patterns shaping the diversification and evolution processes that gave origin to the species currently inhabiting the Palearctic region with an special emphasis in the western Mediterranean. In chapters I and II, five new species from North Africa are being described based on morphologic and molecular characters; chapter III deals with the influence of paleohidrogeological changes on the history; and population structure of an endemism from the Iberian Peninsula chapter IV focuses on the history and evolution of populations inhabiting both sides of the Strait of Gibraltar and chapter V addresses a thorough phylogenetic revision of the genus in its entire distribution range. In this thesis, the integration of different types of molecular tools, phylogenetic analyses and biogeographical methodologies have provided a wide scope for understanding thLeucpioabttaerrbnuss. and factors underlying the evolutionary history of the genus A detailed summary of each of the chapters is described as follows: Chapter I Barbus The taxonomy of sensu stricto Cuvier and Cloquet, 1816, has been reviewed in the last years and as consequence Mediterranean speciesLupcrieovbiaorubsulys included in this genus are presently assigned to the genLusciobarbus Heckel, 1843. The population of North African species of shows high diversification in Morocco, but there have been few taxonomic studies focusing on these populations. Previous phylogenetic studies based on morphological characters and molecular 2 cytb markers (isozymes and mitochondrial ) found that the populations belonging to north-western Morocco presented high levels of genetic differentiation compared to other populations of the genus, that were already assigned to separate species. The aim of this work was to describe those populations as distinct species based on morphological, meristic and genetic traits. For this purpose, a total of 200 specimens were morphological studied from Laou, Loukos, Hachef, Grou and Sebou basins. Twenty-three morphometric measurements and nine meristic variables were recorded and compared through different tests and diagnose osteological structures were investigated through comcpyutbter tomography. Phylogenetic analyses of the entire mitochondrial gene of each population under study were included.

Previous molecular studies placed in the genus along with other North African species. Therefore and for disentangling this puzzle the populations of the rheophilic barbs of the three basins in which they are currently present were studied. A total of 60 specimens were morphological studied from Tensift, Oum er Rbia and Moulouya basins. 3 Twenty-four morphometric measurements and ten meristic variables were counted. Osteological characteristic were investigated through compuctyetbr tomography and phylogenetic analyses of the entire mitochondrial gene from up-to-five individuals from each population under study were included.

The species (Günther, 1868) is an endemism of the Iberian Peninsula, confined to the mid-south basins of this region, including Guadalquivir, Guadiana, Segura and small southern basins. The Iberian Peninsula, at the western area of the Mediterranean Basin is considered a hotspot, well-known for its species richness and high levels of endemisms. Since Cenozoic, Iberia has undergone several geological and climatic changes such as the Alpine orogeny that led to the uplift of its major mountain chains; the Messinian Salinity Crisis, an event that almost dried the Mediterranean Sea; the reopening of the Strait of Gibraltar and the influence of the Last Glacial Maximum. This complex past has shaped the freshwater network of this region through time and since this species disperses only via freshwater, it is expected that its present- day distributionLuhcaiosbbaerebnusgsrcelaattleyriinfluenced by hydrogeological changes. In this context, represents an ideal biological model to describe the imprint of these historical processes on the population structure and diversification patterns of the species. A total of 505 individuals from 22 basins covering the entire distribution range of the species were analyzed through molecular markers. Three major lineages 4 were found and the mtDNA distribution patterns supported the isolation of the hydrographic basins as main factor driving intraspecific differentiation, followed by secondary contact, admLixutcuiroebaarnbdusres-cilsaotleartii.on processes that led to the present-day distribution of Chapter IV The history of the western Mediterranean region has been strongly influenced by tectonic dynamics that have alternately connected and separated Eurasian and African landmasses, allowing fauna exchange.
