Received 27 March 2013; revised 2 July 2013; accepted for publication 9 July 2013
We used a molecular phylogenetic approach to investigate species delimitations and diversification in the mussel
drills of the Ocinebrina edwardsii complex by means of a combination of nuclear (internal transcribed spacer 2,
ITS2) and mitochondrial [cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) and 16S] sequences. Our sample included 243
specimens ascribed to seven currently accepted species from 51 sites. Five of the samples were from either the type
locality of a nominal species or a close nearby locality (O. edwardsii from Corsica, O. carmelae and O. piantonii
from the Kerkennah Islands, O. hispidula from the Gulf of Gabès and O. leukos from the Canary Islands), one from
the inferred original locality (O. ingloria from Venice Lagoon), and specimens assigned in the recent literature to
O. nicolai. We used a combination of distance- and tree-based species delimitation methods to identify Molecular
Operational Taxonomic Units (MOTUs) to compare with the a priori species identifications. The consensus
tree obtained by BEAST on the COI alignment allows the recognition of several distinct clades supported by the
three species delimitation methods employed. The eight-MOTUs scenario, shared by the Automatic Barcode Gap
Discovery (ABGD) and Generalized Mixed Yule-Coalescent (GMYC) methods, comprises the following major clades:
clade A contains the south Tunisian species Ocinebrina piantonii Cecalupo, Buzzurro & Mariani from which the
sympatric taxon O. carmelae Cecalupo, Buzzurro & Mariani (new synonym) cannot be separated; clades B and C
bring together all populations from the Aegean Sea and some from the Ionian Sea, respectively; clade D groups,
on the one hand, the south Tunisian samples morphologically assigned to O. hispidula Pallary and, on the other,
Atlantic and Alboran Sea samples (including the Canarian taxon O. leukos Houart); clade E includes a sample from
the type locality of O. edwardsii and several samples from the Tyrrhenian Sea; clades F and G correspond to a few
samples from the Venice Lagoon and the Tyrrhenian Sea, respectively; clade H groups the bulk of samples from
the Adriatic Sea, including samples from the Venice Lagoon morphologically identified as Ocinebrina ingloria
(Crosse), and some from the Ionian Sea. No final conclusions could be reached to reconcile the currently recognized
morphological taxa with the clades suggested by the COI data. The geographical structure proposed by the
mitochondrial markers is similar to that found in other marine invertebrates and partially corresponds to the
species defined by shell characters. We propose here a framework for the revision of the Ocinebrina edwardsii
species complex, suggesting a geographical pattern for the diversification of this group in the studied area.

INTRODUCTION
The existence of sibling species among marine
invertebrates is a widely recognized phenomenon
(Knowlton, 1993), emphasized by the increasing use
of DNA-based methods for species delimitation
(Vogler & Monaghan, 2007). These techniques are
contributing to the steady number of new marine
species described (Costello, Wilson & Houlding, 2012),
allowing the recognition of unknown diversity (Caron
et al., 2012) and testing the status of known species
(Templeton, 2001).
Cryptic diversity, however, does not surface exclusively in poorly known lineages (Richards et al., 2012)
or in organisms from relatively unexplored areas
(Goetze, 2003). Even within the well-known fauna of
the Mediterranean Sea, with its long-lasting tradition
of taxonomic studies, many species have turned out to
be complexes of sibling lineages (Boisselier-Dubayle &
Gofas, 1999; Carreras-Carbonell, Macpherson &
Pascual, 2005; Calvo et al., 2009; Sá-Pinto et al., 2010;
Xavier et al., 2011). Molluscan taxonomy, in particular, historically has been almost entirely based on
shell characters, which are still commonly used even
though morphological variation caused by adaptation
to environmental pressures has been documented
(Vermeij, 1978). Consequently, traditional shell-based
taxonomic practice has proved to be problematic
for molluscs, and particularly for morphologically
diverse groups. Therefore, in several of the most
recent studies on marine molluscs, the combination of
molecular and traditional approaches has proven to
be successful to resolve taxonomically doubtful groups
(e.g. Puillandre et al., 2009; Claremont et al., 2011;
Zou, Li & Kong, 2012).
The genus Ocinebrina Jousseaume, 1880 is widely
distributed in the Mediterranean Sea, northeastern
Atlantic and northeastern Pacific, with species commonly called small mussel drills. It includes 23 currently accepted living species: 16 in the northeastern
Atlantic and Mediterranean and seven in the northeastern Pacific (WoRMS: Appeltans et al., 2012, at
http://www.marinespecies.org – accessed on 13 March
2013). The Pacific species are often attributed to other
genera, such as Ocenebra Gray, 1847 and Urosalpinx
Stimpson, 1865 (two of the c. 29 genera in the
subfamily Ocenebrinae Cossmann, 1903: see, for
example, Radwin & D’Attilio, 1976; Vermeij & Vokes,
1997; but see WoRMS – accessed on 13 March 2013 –
for an updated listing), and their relationships will be
dealt with in an ongoing study on the phylogenetics of
the Ocenebrinae Cossmann, 1903. The northeastern
Atlantic and Mediterranean species are traditionally
divided into two groups of morphological affinities:
the O. aciculata complex and the O. edwardsii
complex. The O. aciculata complex, recently revised
by Crocetta et al. (2012), includes O. aciculata
(Lamarck, 1822), O. corallinoides Pallary, 1912
and O. reinai Bonomolo and Crocetta, 2012. The
O. edwardsii complex includes the following species:
O. edwardsii
(Payraudeau,
1826),
O. carmelae
Cecalupo, Buzzurro & Mariani, 2008, O. helleri
(Brusina, 1865), O. hispidula Pallary, 1904,
O. hybrida (Aradas & Benoît, 1876), O. ingloria
(Crosse, 1865), O. inordinata (Houart & Abreu, 1994),
O. leukos Houart, 2000, O. miscowichae Pallary, 1920,
O. nicolai Monterosato 1884, O. paddeui Bonomolo &
Buzzurro, 2006, O. piantonii Cecalupo, Buzzurro &
Mariani, 2008 and O. purpuroidea Pallary, 1920 (see
Table 2 for a state of the art nomenclature).
Ocinebrina edwardsii is traditionally considered to
be a common species and one of the most variable
European muricids, as witnessed also by the existence of numerous names established for the various
morphotypes (see Table 2), whose status has been
debated extensively (see, for example, Houart, 2001).
Its distribution spans the entire Mediterranean Sea
and, in the Atlantic Ocean, it is recorded up to the
Bay of Biscay and to the Canary Islands. The shell
reaches (and sometimes exceeds) 20 mm in length
with up to 5–5.5 teleoconch whorls, has a sealed
siphonal canal, five to six small denticles on the
internal part of the outer lip and variable coloration.
The protoconch is paucispiral (1.25–1.75 whorls)
and its morphology is similar to that of O. aciculata.
Therefore, a development similar to that described for
O. aciculata by Franc (1940) can be assumed, i.e.
entirely intracapsular or with a very short pelagic
phase.
The combination of the high morphological variability of the shell among and within species over a wide
geographical range (see Supporting Information
Figs S4-S6) has contributed to the confused taxonomy
in the O. edwardsii complex. Here, we have applied
DNA-based methods to a sample including 243 specimens from the northeastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea (including the area of the type locality
of Purpura edwardsii, Corsica) in order to define the
limits of this species and check for the presence
of cryptic lineages. We also included specimens morphologically ascribed to some of the nominal species
of the same complex to investigate their relationships with O. edwardsii: O. ingloria from the Venice
Lagoon, O. hispidula from the Gulf of Gabès,
O. carmelae and O. piantonii from the Kerkennah
Islands, O. leukos from the Canary Islands and
O. miscowichae from southern Morocco. In addition,
we also processed specimens assigned in the recent
literature to O. cf. nicolai and O. nicolai from Spain
and Portugal (Rolán, 1983; Afonso et al., 2011; Gofas,
2011), although their morphology was not perfectly
matching that of the nominal taxon. Using three

markers [mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I
(COI) and 16S, and the nuclear internal transcribed
spacer 2 (ITS2)], we applied several methods of
species delimitation and used the results to discuss
the status of the O. edwardsii complex. We used the
ocinebrine Nucella lapillus (Linné, 1758) as an
outgroup in the phylogenetic analyses, and also
included specimens of Ocinebrina aciculata and
O. reinai as recently defined by Crocetta et al. (2012).
MATERIAL AND METHODS
SAMPLE DATA
The specimens used in this work were collected by
hand, snorkelling or scuba diving. Sample localities
are summarized in Table 1 (see also Figs 1 and 4)
with their tissue-processing codes. Each specimen
was identified on collection and fixed in 96–100%
ethanol. A piece of tissue was later dissected from the
foot for DNA extraction.
DNA
SEQUENCING AND ALIGNMENT
DNA extraction was performed after tissue digestion
in proteinase K using a phenol–chloroform protocol
(Hillis, Moritz & Mable, 1996) with slight modifications as described by Oliverio & Mariottini (2001b). A
fragment of the mitochondrial COI was amplified
using the universal primers LCO1490 and HCO2198
(Folmer et al., 1994), part of the mitochondrial 16S
was obtained with the primers 16SA (Palumbi
et al., 2002) and CGLeuUURR (Hayashi, 2005), and
the entire nuclear ITS2 rRNA gene was amplified
using the primers ITS-3d and ITS-4r (Oliverio &
Mariottini, 2001a). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
amplifications were performed in 25 μL containing
2.5 μL of BIOLINE 10× buffer, 0.5 μL of 10 mM
deoxynucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) mix, 0.4 μL of
each primer (10 mM), 2.5–3 μL of 50 mM MgCl2, 1 U of
BIOLINE TaqPolymerase and 0.5–1 μL of genomic
DNA.
The DNA fragments were amplified with an initial
denaturation at 94 °C for 4 min, followed by 35 cycles
of denaturation at 94 °C for 30 s, annealing at 48 °C
(COI and 16S) and 62 °C (ITS2) for 40 s and extension
at 72 °C for 50 s. These cycles were followed by an
extension at 72 °C for 10 min. PCR products were
purified with the ExoSAP protocol. A mix of 2 μL
containing 20 U μL−1 Exonuclease I (New England
Biolabs, Ipswich, MA, USA) and 1 U μL−1 Shrimp
Alkaline Phosphatase (Roche, Basel, Switzerland)
was used to purify 5 μL of PCR product. Fragments
were sequenced by Macrogen Inc. (Seoul, South
Korea) using the same PCR primers in BigDye
terminator cycling conditions (Applied Biosystems,
Carlsbad, CA, USA). Reacted products were purified
3
using ethanol precipitation and run using an automatic sequencer AB3730XL (Applied Biosystems).
Forward and reverse sequences were assembled
and reciprocally edited with Sequencher (v. 4.1.4;
Gene Codes Corporation, Ann Arbor, MI, USA). The
COI dataset was aligned manually and translated
into amino acids to check for stop codons. The 16S
and ITS2 dataset was aligned with MAFFT (Katoh
et al., 2002) using the Q-INS-i algorithm (Katoh &
Toh, 2008), which accounts for secondary structures
in the sequences. The nucleotide substitution models
were selected by jModelTest (Posada, 2008) using the
Bayesian Information Criterion (Schwarz, 1978). The
likelihood scores for 88 possible substitution models
were calculated with PhyML (Guindon & Gascuel,
2003) using a tree obtained separately for each model
with BIONJ (Gascuel, 1997) employing a JC model
(Jukes & Cantor, 1969).
SPECIES
DELIMITATION
Three methods of species delimitation were applied
to identify Molecular Operational Taxonomic Units
(MOTUs) (Blaxter, 2004) in the COI dataset: the
Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery (ABGD) method
(Puillandre et al., 2012a), the Generalized Mixed
Yule-Coalescent (GMYC) technique (Pons et al., 2006)
and statistical parsimony network analysis (Posada &
Crandall, 2001; Templeton, 2001).
ABGD is a distance-based method designed to
detect the so-called ‘barcode gap’ in the distribution
of pairwise distances calculated in a COI alignment
(Puillandre et al., 2012a, b). A distance value corresponding to the most reliable gap was used to group
the sequences in MOTUs. The web-based ABGD
program (available at http://wwwabi.snv.jussieu.fr/
public/abgd/) was employed to generate a preliminary
partition of sequences, using a distance matrix calculated from the COI dataset. The COI alignment was
submitted and processed in ABGD (excluding the
outgroup O. miscowichae) using the Kimura twoparameter (K2P) model (Kimura, 1980) and the following settings: a prior for the maximum value of
intraspecific divergence between 0.001 and 0.1, 25
recursive steps within the primary partitions defined
by the first estimated gap, and a gap width of 0.1.
The GMYC method identifies the species–
population boundary in a sample of multiple species
and populations using a time-calibrated (ultrametric)
tree and a likelihood statistic (Pons et al., 2006). The
boundary represents the shift of the tree branching
rates from a Yule (interspecific) to a coalescent
(intraspecific) model, and is estimated as the likelihood peak of the transition along the branches. An
ultrametric tree based on the COI alignment (excluding the outgroup O. miscowichae) was generated with

BEAST (Drummond & Rambaut, 2007), using the
substitution model proposed by jModelTest. A relaxed
lognormal clock, a substitution rate fixed to one (no
calibrations were used as our aim was to estimate the
branching rates only) and a constant coalescent prior
(which is thought to be more conservative than a Yule
prior for species delimitation: see Monaghan et al.,
2009) were used. Four BEAST runs were performed,
each with 108 generations sampling every 104. Two
samples of 104 trees were obtained, and convergence
was evaluated, reading the log files with Tracer
(Rambaut & Drummond, 2003), to verify that the
effective sample size (ESS) values were > 200. Trees
from all the runs were combined with LogCombiner
and then summarized in a maximum credibility tree
with TreeAnnotator (both included in the BEAST
package). The consensus tree was analysed, applying
the single-threshold GMYC function from the SPLITS
package (Ezard, Fujisawa & Barraclough, 2009) in R
(http://www.R-project.org). Having found no incongruence between ITS2 and COI single-gene analyses
(see below), we also analysed with the same settings
the combined COI + ITS2 dataset, where the clock
and substitution model were unlinked for each gene,
and the substitution models suggested in jModelTest
were used.
The statistical parsimony network analysis calculates the maximum number of mutational steps constituting a parsimonious connection between two
haplotypes (Posada & Crandall, 2001; Templeton,
2001). The haplotypes are then joined into networks
following the algorithms proposed by Templeton,
Crandall & Sing (1992), and those separated by more
mutational steps (i.e. with probability of secondary
mutations exceeding 5%) remain disconnected. This
method has been used previously to differentiate
species in a mixed sample (Pons et al., 2006; Hart &
Sunday, 2007). It was applied to our COI dataset
(excluding the outgroup O. miscowichae) using TCS
(Clement, Posada & Crandall, 2000) with a 95% limit
of tolerance.
We also analysed the ITS sequences for fixed sites
between MOTUs defined in the species delimitation
tests using DNAsp (Librado & Rozas, 2009)
PHYLOGENETIC
ANALYSIS
Bayesian phylogenetic trees for each single gene and
for the combined COI + ITS2 and COI + ITS2 + 16S
datasets were estimated using MrBayes (Huelsenbeck
& Ronquist, 2001; Ronquist & Huelsenbeck, 2003).
Sequences of Nucella lapillus (Linnaeus, 1758) were
used to root the trees and, where available, sequences
of O. aciculata, O. reinai and O. miscowichae were
included to test their relationships with the species
included in this study. Two Metropolis-coupled
Markov chain Monte Carlo (MC3) algorithms, with
four chains each, were run for 8 × 107 generations
using the substitution models selected by jModelTest,
and sampling every 8 × 103. Convergences of the
chains were evaluated by plotting values of the standard deviation of average split frequencies, and with
the Potential Scale of Reduction Factor (PSRF)
(Gelman & Rubin, 1992). All the analyses in MrBayes
were computationally intensive, and thus run on the
University of Oslo Bioportal (Kumar et al., 2009).

A. BARCO ET AL.
To test for incongruence among trees obtained with
single-gene analyses, we compared clades recovered
with high support in each topology. Conflict among
clades with high support can be seen as evidence
for divergent evolutionary histories, and can be
used as an argument against multiple-gene phylogenetic analyses. However, we found no conflict
among single-gene trees, and combined the datasets
to estimate Bayesian topologies using COI + ITS2 and
COI + ITS2 + 16S.
RESULTS
SEQUENCE
ANALYSIS
We obtained 208 original sequences of COI, 58 of 16S
and 155 of ITS2, and included in our analyses 38 COI
sequences of O. cf. edwardsii and O. hispidula from
a previous study (Barco, Corso & Oliverio, 2013).
Ten COI sequences of O. aciculata and O. reinai
from Crocetta et al. (2012) were included in the
phylogenetic analyses, together with six new COI
sequences of O. aciluata from Spain (BAU 1060).
The COI alignment spanned 658 bp (no stop codon
detected), 167 of which were variable and 133 were
parsimony informative; the 16S alignment comprised
763 bp, 83 of which were variable and 58 were parsimony informative; the ITS2 alignment comprised
559 sites, 157 of which were variable and 66 were
parsimony informative. Accession numbers for the
sequences are provided in Supporting Information
Table S1. The substitution models selected by
jModelTest were the TPM2uf + I + Γ (Kimura, 1981)
for COI, HKY + Γ (Hasegawa, Kishino & Yano, 1985)
for ITS2 and TIM3 + I + Γ (Posada, 2003) for 16S. The
distances for the ABGD analysis on the COI dataset
were obtained using the K2P model (Kimura, 1980)
implemented in the online software.
SPECIES
DELIMITATION
The ABGD method on the 236 COI sequences
proposed nine distinct groupings ranging from 67
MOTUs to a single one depending on the value of
the maximum intraspecific divergence used as a
boundary between inter- and intraspecific distance
values. The results obtained for K2P values lower
than 0.012 were discarded for the unrealistic assumption of more than 10 species. The histogram of the
pairwise distances (Fig. 2) shows a multimodal distribution for the frequencies, with a relevant minimum
for values of K2P distance between 0.020 and 0.025,
corresponding approximately to the partitions 15–17
(K2P distance = 0.014–0.021, eight MOTUs) and 18
(K2P distance = 0.026, four MOTUs).
All of the four BEAST runs reached ESS values of
> 200, and the ‘burnin’ was set for one-half of the

generations. A final sample of 104 trees was used to
obtain the maximum clade credibility tree shown in
Figure 3. The single-threshold model in GMYC was
significantly better than the null model of no shift in
branching rates (P < 0.001). The GMYC method proposed eight MOTUs (confidence interval, 2–18). In
addition, in the combined dataset (COI + ITS2), the
GMYC method performed better than the null model,
but the dataset was divided into only three MOTUs
(confidence interval, 1–36; Supporting Information
Fig. S1).
The 238 COI sequences comprised 70 distinct
haplotypes, 37 of which were unique. Using a 95%
cut-off, the haplotypes were grouped by statistical
parsimony analysis into nine independent networks,
considered here as equivalent to nine MOTUs (Fig. 3).
The MOTUs defined by the three species delimitation methods in the eight-MOTUs scenario, based on
the COI alignment, are named I–IV (four-MOTUs
scenario: ABGD) and A–H (eight-MOTUs scenario:
ABGD, GMYC, TCS) in Figure 3. Concordance was
found among the three analyses, with only a single
difference: group D was recovered as a single MOTU
in the ABGD and GMYC analyses, but split into two
by TCS (D1 and D2). In the two-genes (COI + ITS2)
GMYC test, the threshold time for the coalescent/Yule
boundary was lower (–0.044) than in the single-gene
test (–0.01), resulting in the groups A + B + C and
D + E + F + G, respectively, clustered into two
MOTUs (Fig. S1).
Conserved sites in ITS2 were calculated for the
MOTUs suggested in the species delimitation analysis (data not shown). Fixed differences were found
only between more distantly related groups (e.g.
B–D1, B–D2 and B–F), whereas most sister groups

showed no fixed differences, usable as diagnostic for
each MOTU.
PHYLOGENETIC
ANALYSIS
In the MrBayes analysis, convergence was reached by
the sampling chains in almost all analyses, as shown
by the average standard deviation of split frequencies
lower than 0.01 and by PSRF values of 1.00 for each
parameter estimated by the MC3 algorithm. However,
for the single-gene ITS2 analysis, the convergence
was difficult to reach even after setting a starting
tree, increasing the number of generations, the
number of MCMC chains or the λ value. In all the
analyses, we employed a ‘burnin’ of about 25% of
the sampled trees, whereas, in the ITS2 analysis, we
used a 50% ‘burnin’.
The single-gene Bayesian analyses produced three
topologies (Supporting Information Fig. S2). In the
COI and ITS2 analyses, using Nucela lapillus as an
outgroup, the O. aciculate complex (O. aciculata and
O. reinai) and the O. edwardsii complex were reciprocally monophyletic. In particular, in the COI analysis,
O. miscowichae was defined as the sister taxon to the
remaining lineages of the O. edwardsii complex. We
obtained a high congruence between the COI and 16S
trees (Fig. S2A,C), whereas the topology of ITS2 (Fig.
S2B) was divergent and less resolved. Groups A–H of
the BEAST-GMYC test were also obtained in the COI
and 16S trees with high posterior probability (> 0.96),
except for group G, which was unresolved in the 16S
tree. In the ITS2 tree, none of the clades obtained with
the other alignments was recovered. The limited
amount of sequence variability observed in ITS2 probably prevented clear resolution of the phylogenetic
signal in this alignment. We found no incongruence
among highly supported clades in the single-gene
trees, and thus also computed the combined-gene
trees. In the combined-gene analyses (COI + ITS2,
Supporting Information Fig. S3A; COI + ITS2 + 16S,
Fig. S3B), we obtained two topologies similar to those
of the COI and 16S single-gene analyses. In both cases,
groups E and G of the BEAST-GMYC test had a
moderate support (between 0.90 and 0.95), whereas all
the others had high support values (> 0.96).

DISCUSSION
As a starting point to define the threshold between
intraspecific and interspecific pairwise comparisons,
we searched those values (or range of values) that
separated sympatric samples falling in distinct
clades. The minima in the multimodal distribution
for the frequencies of the pairwise distances (Fig. 2)
corresponding to values higher than 0.031, defined
in ABGD, partition with a single species for all of
our samples. This is an unrealistic scenario which
would classify the Tunisian specimens identified as
O. piantoni and O. carmelae as conspecific with the
sympatric specimens of O. hispidula, despite a K2P
distance of > 0.09 in sympatry. A single-species
hypothesis would also produce a complete lack of
geographical pattern in the phylogenetic trees, with
northern Sicily and Tyrrhenian samples more closely
related to Adriatic and (some) Tunisian ones than to
southern Sicily and Aegean samples. Conversely, the
values of the K2P distance between 0.020 and 0.026
corresponded approximately to the partitions 15–17
(K2P distance = 0.014–0.021, eight MOTUs) and 18
(K2P distance = 0.026, four MOTUs). The eightMOTUs scenario was the same as that depicted by
the GMYC method, and the four-MOTUs scenario
was within the confidence limits (2–18 MOTUs) of the
GMYC results.
For COI, the K2P distance range representing the
intra-/interspecific boundary in the eight-MOTUs/
four-MOTUs scenarios (0.014–0.026) is similar to that
obtained from the analysis of the COI sequences in
other studies on marine gastropods (Castelin et al.,
2010; Reid, Dyal & Williams, 2010; Williams et al.,
2011; Nuñez et al., 2012; Puillandre et al., 2012b).
This suggests that our COI distance values represent
a reliable boundary between congeneric Ocinebrina
species. However, deep mitochondrial divergences
within other mollusc species have been repeatedly
observed (e.g. Quattro et al., 2001; Wilson, Schrödl &
Halanych, 2009), raising the need for support with
nuclear data before taking taxonomic decisions.
Several previous studies have provided evidence of a
general concordance between results from COI and
ITS2 sequence analyses and their usefulness in the
species delimitation of molluscs (Calvo et al., 2009;
Puillandre et al., 2010; 2011). However, it is also
known that too large or too small an intraspecific
variation of ITS2 may confound the detection of
cryptic species (Vilas, Criscione & Blouin, 2005).
According to the species delimitation methods
based on the COI dataset, a set of lineages that
possibly represent cryptic species emerged within the
O. edwardsii complex. A final taxonomic revision of
the complex, also including the description of new
species, will depend on the detection of a genetic
9
distinction also at the nuclear level, and, eventually,
on the identification of diagnostic morphological
characters. Unfortunately, the lack of objectively
distinguishable shell characters (at least at this
point of our study), as well as the absence of a
defined phylogenetic pattern in the selected
nuclear sequences, prevented us from providing
such a taxonomic revision. Therefore, we discuss
the pattern emerging from the mitochondrial data,
and its congruence with the preliminary shell-based
identifications, under the assumption that, in our
case, the mitochondrial phylogenetic signal is more
reliable than the ITS2 one.
The small mussel drills of the O. edwardsii complex
are common northeastern Atlantic and Mediterranean
gastropods displaying striking morphological variability and, consequently, a complicated taxonomic history.
As a probable consequence of their variability, numerous nominal taxa have been erected based exclusively
on shell morphology for these gastropods (Houart,
2001; Cecalupo et al., 2008). Thirteen species based on
a purely morphological approach are accepted currently in the northeastern Atlantic–Mediterranean
area (Table 2). The specimens used in our analysis
were classified morphologically on collection into seven
of these nominal species (O. carmelae, O. edwardsii,
O. hispidula, O. ingloria, O. leukos, O. miscowichae,
O. piantonii). Of these, O. miscowichae proved to be
the sister species to the O. edwardsii complex (when
Nucella lapillus was used as an outgroup, and
O. aciculata was sister to the O. miscowichae–
O. edwardsii pair). In our dataset, specimens morphologically ascribed to O. helleri, O. nicolai and
O. paddeui (Table 2) were not available for DNA
extraction. Their inclusion in a future dataset will
probably affect the taxonomic and nomenclatural patterns. Within the O. edwardsii complex, our analyses
proposed a number of MOTUs ranging from four to
eight, and a preliminary hypothesis of species delimitation only partially concordant with our a priori
identifications.
THE OCINEBRINA
EDWARDSII COMPLEX
In the four-MOTUs scenario, supported by the ABGD
method only (yet within the confidence limit of the
GMYC analysis), the four major lineages (I–IV) comprised the following samples:
MOTU-I: specimens morphologically identified as
O. piantonii and O. carmelae from the Gulf of Gabès.
MOTU-II: specimens morphologically identified as
O. edwardsii from the Aegean Sea, Ionian Sea,
southwestern Sicily and Lampedusa Island.
MOTU-III: specimens morphologically identified as
O. edwardsii from the Tyrrhenian Sea (including

A. BARCO ET AL.
Corsica, type locality of O. edwardsii); specimens
morphologically identified as O. hispidula (from the
Gulf of Gabès); specimens from the Mediterranean
and Atlantic coasts of Spain and Portugal, including
the Canary Islands; part of the specimens from the
Venice Lagoon.
MOTU-IV: specimens from the Adriatic Sea and a few
localities in the Ionian Sea.
In the eight-MOTUs scenario, supported by all
three methods (ABGD, GMYC, TCS), the eight major
lineages maintained a geographical coherence, and
only MOTU-A corresponded exactly to MOTU-I.
We cannot decide with the present data between
the two scenarios (four-MOTUs or eight-MOTUs).
Pending the availability of more reliable and congruent data from the nuclear genes to support such a
decision, we discuss the geographical patterns in the
O. edwardsii complex focusing on the more detailed
(albeit admittedly less conservative) eight-MOTUs
scenario.
In the eight-MOTUs scenario, all the specimens
attributed preliminarily to O. edwardsii were distributed among seven MOTUs: clade B, including specimens from localities in the Aegean Sea; clade C from
the Ionian Sea, southwestern Sicily and Lampedusa
Island; clade D2 from the Atlantic coast of Spain and
Portugal, the Canary Islands and Málaga Province;
clade E from several localities across the Tyrrhenian
Sea; clade F from Pellestrina, a locality within the
Venice Lagoon; clade G from Campania (Pozzuoli and
Palinuro); and clade H from the Adriatic Sea and a
few localities in the Ionian Sea.
Of these groups, we provisionally identify MOTU-E
as representing the ‘true’ O. edwardsii, because it
included the specimens sampled in Corsica, its type
locality (Payraudeau, 1826). Among our samples, this
group is apparently restricted to the Tyrrhenian Sea
(eastern Corsica, eastern Sardinia, northern Sicily
and western Italian coast: Fig. 4).
The sister lineage to clade E is composed of the D1
and D2 lineages (clade D). The D2 lineage included
specimens morphologically ascribed to O. edwardsii
sampled along the Atlantic coasts of Spain and
Portugal, from the Canary Islands and from Málaga
Province; the specimens ascribed to O. leukos from
the Canary Islands; and specimens from populations
referred in the recent literature to O. [cf.] nicolai from
Galicia (Rolán, 1983) (samples 963, 965, 1033, 1058,
1059, 1061–1063), from Barbate (sample 1282)
(Gofas, 2011) and from off Ponta da Piedade–Algarve
(sample 1294) (Afonso et al., 2011) (Fig. 4). The specimens of O. edwardsii sampled along the Atlantic
coast of Spain and Portugal displayed a rather
distinctive shell morphology with respect to the
most common forms found in the Mediterranean.
Ocinebrina leukos was described from Lanzarote
(Canary Islands) as living sympatrically with, yet
morphologically easily distinguished from, local
O. edwardsii (Houart, 2000). The latter, however, has
been recorded as highly variable morphologically,
even in the same locality (Houart, 2000), and, according to our molecular data, O. leukos may fall within
the variability of this lineage (D2). Ocinebrina nicolai
was originally described from Corsica, Sardinia and
Lipari Islands (Monterosato, 1884). Specimens from
the Monterosato collection (see Settepassi, 1977:
38–44), however, are morphologically different from
those figured recently under this name (e.g. Rolán,
1983; Houart, 2001; Afonso et al., 2011; Gofas, 2011).
Therefore, the association of the name O. nicolai with
one of our MOTUs is postponed pending the genetic
analysis of topotypical specimens.
According to the ABGD and GMYC analyses, clade
D also included the specimens from Gabès ascribed to
O. hispidula, although a distinct well-supported clade
(D1) for this lineage has been recovered in all the
topologies. The large genetic distance between specimens identified as O. hispidula from Gabès and specimens classified preliminarily as O. edwardsii from
Sicily (clade C) has been reported recently by Barco
et al. (2013). Ocinebrina hispidula has also been
reported from other Atlantic and Mediterranean
localities, such as Mogador (Ardovini & Cossignani,
2004), Sicily (Settepassi, 1977; Giannuzzi-Savelli
et al., 2003), Cyprus (Houart, 2001; Öztürk, Buzzurro
& Benli, 2004) and the Baleares (Pons-Moyà & Pons,
2002). Although these records may have been based
on extremely spiny morphotypes of other taxa of the
O. edwardsii complex, or on mislabelled specimens,
according to our analyses (ABGD and BEASTGMYC), O. hispidula is included in a more widely
distributed MOTU (clade D). Even in the less conservative eight-MOTUs scenario, MOTU-D probably
represents a single species ranging from the
northeastern Atlantic to the western and central
Mediterranean Sea, which has recently colonized the
Gulf of Gabès with a population displaying a strikingly deviating morphology (Fig. 4), a phenomenon
well known in the Gabès molluscan fauna (Cecalupo
et al., 2008), and with a distribution compatible with
that of other intertidal molluscs (Calvo et al., 2009).
Furthermore, the young age of the Gulf of Gabès
(Burollet, Clairefond & Winnock, 1979; Stocchi,
Colleoni & Spada, 2009) would not be compatible
with the recent evolution of an endemic species.
Ocinebrina erronea Cecalupo, Buzzurro & Mariani,
2008 (see Table 2 for nomenclatural details) has
been synonymized recently with O. hispidula by
Cossignani & Ardovini (2011). A single specimen
of the O. erronea morphotype (sample 1053) was
included in our dataset and, in all the analyses, it fell

within the O. hispidula clade (group D1), indicating
that it is not a distinct species.
Ocinebrina piantonii and O. carmelae were
described as new species from the Kerkennah Islands
by Cecalupo et al. (2008), living sympatrically (and
syntopically) amidst the rhizomes of Posidonia
oceanica (L.) Delile, 1813. The morphological differences between the two nominal taxa are indeed very
subtle, possibly ending up as just two colour forms: a
white phenotype (O. piantonii) and a dark phenotype
(O. carmelae). Furthermore, the latter is indistinguishable from O. hybrida (Aradas & Benoît, 1876)
(which is possibly a synonym of O. baetica (Reeve,
1845): see Table 2), a rare species for which we had
no specimens for DNA extraction. We assayed two
specimens from the Gulf of Gabès, representing
the two morphotypes, which proved clearly to
belong to a single species (clade A), not related
phylogenetically to O. hispidula. They fall into an
eastern Mediterranean group including clades B
(Aegean Sea) and C (Ionian Sea).
Specimens collected at four localities across the
Aegean Sea (clade B) were indistinguishable morphologically from those classified preliminarily as
O. edwardsii from other Mediterranean localities. The
COI and 16S sequences of these specimens were particularly divergent from all the others, allowing the
identification of a well-distinct mitochondrial lineage.
Furthermore, the mitochondrial data also suggest a
well-defined population structure within the group,
with three deeply separated clusters corresponding
to distinct sampling localities (northern, central and
southern Aegean Sea) (Fig. 4).
Another clade (C) is represented by the specimens
collected in the Ionian Sea, southwestern Sicily
and Lampedusa Island. Similar to group B, clade C

A. BARCO ET AL.
is well defined geographically (Fig. 4), but the
shells are rather indistinguishable from specimens
ascribed morphologically to O. edwardsii from other
Mediterranean localities. The sister group relationship with the Aegean clade suggests an allopatric
origin of both lineages from an ancestral eastern
Mediterranean clade (see below).
Ocinebrina ingloria was described originally by
Crosse (1865) without specifying any locality. Other
names may apply to this entity (e.g. Murex orcomenus
Nardo, 1847, see Table 2), but the assessment of the
status was beyond the scope of this study. Neglected
for over a century, it was recorded as O. ingloria
recently from the Adriatic Sea, from Grado and
the Venice Lagoon (which was interpreted as the
most likely locality of the type material) by Houart
(2001) and from Palermo by Giannuzzi-Savelli et al.
(2003). The population at Grado seems to be extinct,
together with other intertidal molluscan species,
as a result of the intense human activity in the
area (see Crocetta, 2011), whereas the record from
Palermo seems likely to be incorrect because
such a morphotype has never been found there
(G. Bonomolo, unpublished). We have assayed specimens from the Venice Lagoon (morphologically and
geographically representing the nominal taxon
O. ingloria) which, despite evident morphological differences, were grouped in clade H with other specimens classified morphologically as O. edwardsii from
the Adriatic Sea and a few localities in the Ionian Sea
(Fig. 4). Apparently all specimens of the O. edwardsii
complex from the Adriatic Sea belong in the same
lineage as O. ingloria, again suggesting that shell
variation, as currently approached within this group,
is rather misleading, and that a single species is
involved in this lineage.
The sole geographical exception to clade H is represented by some specimens sampled at Pellestrina
(clade F), within the area of the Venice Lagoon. All
specimens from this site were indistinguishable from
each other morphologically (see, for example, vouchers 1046_1 and 1046_3: Fig 3B, Supporting Information Fig. S4). After the first analyses split the first lot
of specimens from this locality (sample 1046) into
groups F and H, we collected other specimens from
the same locality (sample 1293) in order to rule
out the possibility of contamination, and obtained
the same results. Thus, according to this evidence,
two morphologically indistinguishable MOTUs live
sympatrically at this site in the Venice Lagoon. The
sister clade to MOTU-F from Pellestrina is clade G
from Pozzuoli and Palinuro (central Tyrrhenian Sea).
Clades F and G were clearly distinct MOTUs in all of
our species delimitation analyses, and both lineages
possibly represent relict populations isolated on the
two sides of the Italian peninsula.
BIOGEOGRAPHICAL
PATTERNS
Comparing our molecular data with the fossil record
of Ocinebrina would allow the drawing of a timecalibrated tree and a comparison between the
estimated origin of clades and the history of
the Mediterranean. Unfortunately, although fossil
Ocinebrina shells are relatively abundant, their
species classification based on shell morphology
would be rather misleading. What has emerged from
the present study is that shell characters used in the
taxonomy of O. edwardsii and related species do not
always define monophyletic lineages, and we have
therefore no basis for using fossils to calibrate node
ages in the phylogeny. Such an analysis may become
possible only after a thorough revision of shell characters used in this group. A comparison with previous
studies, however, might be helpful in understanding
the observed geographical distribution of molecular
lineages.
The present-day Mediterranean marine fauna is
the result of a long and troubled geological history
(Taviani, 2002) peaking in the Messinian Salinity
Crisis (MSC) (Krijgsman et al., 1999) and the following Pliocene and Quaternary glacial/interglacial
cycles. These events contributed to the shaping of the
current fauna into defined biogeographical categories
(Bianchi & Morri, 2000), and the geographical structure among populations of Mediterranean organisms
can generally be traced back to these major events
(Patarnello, Volckaert & Castilho, 2007). Species with
short or no planktonic larval stage (such as the northeastern Atlantic Ocinebrina species) are supposed to
show a more structured distribution across a reduced
geographical range (Cunha et al., 2005, 2008; Meyer
et al., 2005; Paulay & Meyer, 2006) than those with
planktonic larvae. Thus, in the Mediterranean Sea,
the phylogeography of marine organisms, and especially of those with reduced planktonic stages, is
expected to reflect these events. This is the case for
reef-building gastropods of the Dendropoma petraeum
(Monterosato, 1884) complex, which has been shown
to include four cryptic species with a clear east–west
Mediterranean subdivision (Calvo et al., 2009).
This geographical structure has been attributed to
vicariant cladogenesis favoured by the reduced planktonic larval stage of the species. We observed a high
similarity between the geographical distributions of
the lineages of Ocinebrina and that found by Calvo
et al. (2009) in the D. petraeum complex.
Our group D has a distribution similar to that of
the western Mediterranean Dendropoma clade. The
continuous range across the Atlanto-Mediterranean
border found in many marine species is generally
explained as a re-colonization process completed
by propagules from extant Atlantic populations

establishing new populations in the Mediterranean.
However, restricted gene flow through the Straits of
Gibraltar has also been detected in species with high
dispersal potential (Sá-Pinto et al., 2012). In species
with a short-lived planktonic stage, the dispersal
across long distances possibly has been accomplished
by rafting or with floating debris (Martel & Chia,
1991; Cunningham & Collins, 1998). The combination
of these factors and the effect of the Algerian current
flowing along the northern coast of Africa could
explain the presence of this lineage in the Gulf of
Gabès and its genetic distinctiveness.
The repeated instances of separation of the
western and eastern Mediterranean basins by the
Sicilian sill during the Quaternary glacial cycles are
often correlated with the present-day distinction
between corresponding lineages (e.g. Oliverio, 1994,
1996; Calvo et al., 2009; Sá-Pinto et al., 2010; Mejri
et al., 2011). We found that three of our groups
(MOTU-A, MOTU-B and MOTU-C) formed a wellsupported clade (MOTU-I + MOTU-II) in both the
BEAST and MrBayes analyses, supporting the existence of an eastern Mediterranean lineage. In the
three-gene Bayesian analysis (Fig. S3B), the Adriatic
clade (all the Adriatic specimens with the exception
of group F) is closely related to groups A, B and C,
suggesting an early separation of the ancestor of
these four groups from a western Mediterranean
clade ancestor.
The phylogenetic relationships of groups F and G
with the others are still unclear, making it difficult
to draw their position in this scenario. According to
BEAST analysis (Fig. 2), both lineages are closely
related to the western Mediterranean group (clades D
and E), but, in other analyses, support for such a
position is lower. The long branches of these groups
and their sympatry with other clades (F with H in the
Adriatic Sea and G with E in the Tyrrhenian Sea)
would suggest early allopatric isolation followed by
secondary contact. The actual distribution of these
two groups, however, is still unknown, and further
studies with denser sampling are required to understand their status.
