Several research works which sought to assess available morphological and meristic features that differentiate <i>S. megalops</i> from other <i>Squalus</i> species in the Mediterranean Sea, revealed poor discriminatory power and high variability of the assessed characters, especially when comparing <i>S. megalops</i> and <i>S. blainville</i>. The application of molecular tools does not support the presence of <i>S. megalops</i>. In the present study, we screened spurdog species from the Strait of Sicily using a molecular taxonomy approach based on two mitochondrial DNA markers and we report the occurrence of two <i>Squalus</i> lineages characterizing specimens collected from the stretch of sea between Tunisia, southern Sicily, Malta and Libya. The results support the hypothesis that a common species, <i>S. blainville</i>, currently inhabits the Mediterranean Sea, while a second and rare species is probably an occasional visitor with high morphological similarity to the <i>S. megalops</i> and <i>S. blainville</i> but is genetically distinct from both. Within this perspective, the occurrence of <i>S. megalops</i> in the Mediterranean Sea is not confirmed and our study highlights the taxonomic uncertainties in relation to the occurrence and distribution of <i>Squalus</i> species in this region. We encourage the establishment of a coordinated international effort to implement a comprehensive and integrated taxonomic assessment on this genus which represents an irreplaceable component of the biodiversity of the area.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Puzzling over spurdogs: molecular taxonomy assessment of the <i>Squalus</i> species in the Strait of Sicily","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2024-12-10 01:33:17.368041","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+01:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"Mediterranean Sea; conservation; cryptic species; mitochondrial DNA; shark misidentification","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2021,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2023-03-28","DateCreate":"2023-03-27","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000617359900001","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.1080/24750263.2020.1849436"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":362762,"PubliDate":2021,"Pagination":"181-190","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"88","Issue":"1","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":308709,"SerRR":"The European Zoological Journal.
