  abstract = {{T}he bonga shad, {E}thmalosa fimbriata, is a {W}est {A}frican pelagic species still abundant in most habitats of its distribution range and thought to be only recently affected by anthropogenic pressure (habitat destruction or fishing pressure). {I}ts presence in a wide range of coastal habitats characterised by different hydrodynamic processes, represents a case study useful for evaluating the importance of physical structure of the west {A}frican shoreline on the genetic structure of a small pelagic species. {T}o investigate this question, the genetic diversity of {E}. fimbriata was assessed at both regional and species range scales, using mitochondrial (mt) and nuclear {DNA} markers. {W}hereas only three panmictic units were identified with mt{DNA} at the large spatial scale, nuclear genetic markers ({EPIC}: exon-primed intron-crossing) indicated a more complex genetic pattern at the regional scale. {I}n the northern-most section of shad's distribution range, up to 4 distinct units were identified. {B}ayesian inference as well as spatial autocorrelation methods provided evidence that gene flow is impeded by the presence of deep-water areas near the coastline (restricting the width of the coastal shelf), such as the {C}ap {T}imiris and the {K}ayar canyons in {M}auritania and {S}enegal, respectively. {T}he added discriminatory power provided by the use of {EPIC} markers proved to be essential to detect the influence of more subtle, contemporary processes (e.g. gene flow, barriers, etc.) acting within the glacial refuges identified previously by mt{DNA}.},
