  abstract = {{T}he red coral {C}orallium rubrum ({C}nidaria, {O}ctocorallia) is an exploited, long-lived sessile species from the {M}editerranean {S}ea and the adjacent coastline in the {A}tlantic {O}cean. {S}urveys of genetic variation using microsatellites have shown that populations of {C}. rubrum are characterized by strong differentiation at the local scale but a study of the phylogeography of this species was still lacking. {H}ere, we used seven polymorphic microsatellite loci, together with sequence data from an intron of the elongation factor 1 ({EF}1) gene, to investigate the genetic structure of {C}. rubrum across its geographical range in the western {M}editerranean {S}ea and in the {A}driatic {S}ea. {T}he {EF}1 sequences were also used to analyse the consequences of demographic fluctuations linked with past environmental change. {C}lustering analysis with microsatellite loci highlighted three to seven genetic groups with the distinction of {N}orth {A}frican and {A}driatic populations; this distinction appeared significant with {AMOVA} and differentiation tests. {M}icrosatellite and {EF}1 data extended the isolation by distance pattern previously observed for this species at the western {M}editerranean scale. {EF}1 sequences confirmed the genetic differentiation observed between most samples with microsatellites. {A} statistical parsimony network of {EF}1 haplotypes provided no evidence of high sequence divergence among regions, suggesting no long-term isolation. {S}elective neutrality tests on microsatellites and {EF}1 were not significant but should be interpreted with caution in the case of {EF}1 because of the low sample sizes for this locus. {O}ur results suggest that recent {Q}uaternary environmental fluctuations had a limited impact on the genetic structure of {C}. rubrum.},
