摘要： Ostracods (Crustacea, Ostracoda) are small bivalved crustaceans, contributing to the marine zooplankton community. They are widely distributed and are relatively abundant components of the marine mesozooplankton worldwide, playing an important role in the transport of organic matter to deep layers. By analysing the mitochondrial COI gene, we explored the population genetic structure and haplotype pattern of Porroecia spinirostris which is the dominant ostracod in the South China Sea. We investigated the population genetic structure of ostracods at medium spatial scales in the absence of physical barriers. Our data provides evidence of the importance of both long-distance dispersal as well as genetic isolation in determining the seascape genetic structure of this species. Our data suggest that P.spinirostris can achieve long distance dispersal and specific haplotypes were successful in colonizing habitats from the Xisha to the Nansha area. A total of 36 haplotypes were defined from 85 individuals with most of these haplotypes occurring only once. The dominant haplotype was found in twelve sampling sites. The largest distance between two sampling sites harbouring this haplotype is more than 700 km. Our findings of long distance dispersal in the South China Sea combined with mild genetic differentiation among fifteen sampling sites (average phi(ST) = 0.167) are in line with a scenario where population genetic structure is strongly impacted by colonization patterns. The seascape genetic structure of P.spinirostris in the South China Sea reflects both the importance of long distance dispersal as well as of reduced levels of gene flow, likely caused by colonization events followed by demographic expansions.
