  abstract = {{P}opulation genetics has been increasingly applied to study large sharks over the last decade. {W}hilst large shark species are often difficult to study with direct methods, improved knowledge is needed for both population management and conservation, especially for species vulnerable to anthropogenic and climatic impacts. {T}he tiger shark, {G}aleocerdo cuvier, is an apex predator known to play important direct and indirect roles in tropical and subtropical marine ecosystems. {W}hile the global and {I}ndo-{W}est {P}acific population genetic structure of this species has recently been investigated, questions remain over population structure and demographic history within the western {I}ndian ({WIO}) and within the western {P}acific {O}ceans ({WPO}). {T}o address the knowledge gap in tiger shark regional population structures, the genetic diversity of 286 individuals sampled in seven localities was investigated using 27 microsatellite loci and three mitochondrial genes ({CR}, {COI}, and cytb). {A} weak genetic differentiation was observed between the {WIO} and the {WPO}, suggesting high genetic connectivity. {T}his result agrees with previous studies and highlights the importance of the pelagic behavior of this species to ensure gene flow. {U}sing approximate {B}ayesian computation to couple information from both nuclear and mitochondrial markers, evidence of a recent bottleneck in the {H}olocene (2,000-3,000 years ago) was found, which is the most probable cause for the low genetic diversity observed. {A} contemporary effective population size as low as 111 [43,369] was estimated during the bottleneck. {T}ogether, these results indicate low genetic diversity that may reflect a vulnerable population sensitive to regional pressures. {C}onservation measures are thus needed to protect a species that is classified as {N}ear {T}hreatened.},
