  abstract = {{O}ur understanding of speciation processes in marine environments remains very limited and the role of different reproductive barriers are still debated. {W}hile physical barriers were considered important drivers causing reproductive isolation, recent studies highlight the importance of climatic and hydrological changes creating unsuitable habitat conditions as factors promoting population isolation. {A}lthough speciation in marine fishes has been investigated from different perspectives, these studies often have a limited geographical extant. {T}herefore, data on speciation within widely distributed species are largely lacking. {S}pecies complexes offer valuable opportunities to study the initial stages of speciation. {H}erein we study speciation within the {M}ugil cephalus species complex ({MCSC}) which presents a unique opportunity due to its circumglobal distribution. {W}e used a whole-genome shotgun analysis approach to identify {SNP}s among the 16 species within the {MCSC}. {W}e inferred the phylogenetic relationships within the species complex followed by a time-calibration analysis. {S}ubsequently, we estimated the ancestral ranges within the species complex to explore their biogeographical history. {H}erein, we present a fully resolved and well-supported phylogeny of the {MCSC}. {I}ts origin is dated at around 3.79 {M}a after which two main clades emerged: one comprising all {W}est {A}tlantic and {E}ast {P}acific species and the other all {E}ast {A}tlantic and {I}ndo-{P}acific species. {R}apid dispersal following an initial founder colonization from the {W}est to the {E}ast {A}tlantic led to the population of all major realms worldwide in less than 2 {M}yr. {P}hysical and climatic barriers heavily impacted the ancestral distribution ranges within the {MCSC} and triggered the onset of speciation.},
