  abstract = {{W}e provide mitochondrial sequence variation of the invasive fish {G}ambusia holbrooki from 24 {E}uropean populations, from {P}ortugal to {G}reece. {P}hylogeographic structure in {E}urope was compared with genetic data from native samples ({USA}) and historical records were reviewed to identify introduction routes. {O}verall, data agree with records of historical introductions and translocations, and indicate that the most abundant haplotype throughout {E}urope originated from {N}orth {C}arolina and corresponded to the first introduction in 1921 to {S}pain, being transferred to {I}taly in 1922 and to many countries afterwards. {O}ur results also show that at least another independent introduction occurred first in {F}rance and subsequently from {F}rance to {G}reece. {H}aplotypes of {G}. affinis were not detected in our {E}uropean sampling effort but historical records and other data suggest that this species was introduced to {I}taly in 1927 and it might be present. {A}t the continental scale, there is less diversity in {E}urope than in {N}orth {A}merica, in agreement with the low number of introduced fish. {A}t the local scale, some {E}uropean populations gained diversity from multiple introductions and from "de novo" mutations.},
