From: Phylogeographic and evolutionary history analyses of the warty crab Eriphia verrucosa (Decapoda, Brachyura, Eriphiidae) unveil genetic imprints of a late Pleistocene vicariant event across the Gibraltar Strait, erased by postglacial expansion and admixture among refugial lineages

Fig. 5

Bayesian skyline plots (BSP) for specimens of Eriphia verrucosa corresponding to the Atlantic Ocean (a), Mediterranean Sea (b) as well as to the whole dataset (c), showing changes in effective population size (Ne multiplied per generation time) over time (measured in years before present). The thick solid line depicts the median estimate, and the margins of the blue area represent the highest 95% posterior density intervals. The enclosed grey-shaded box corresponds to the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) priod (between 26,500–20,000 years before present; [51])
