Rick Grosberg and CW Cunningham chapter 3 predator (or parasite or herbivore)
population genetically varies over a finer spatial scale than its prey (or host), it is unlikely that …

The connectivity of marine populations is often surprisingly lower than predicted by the
dispersal capabilities of propagules alone. Estimates of connectivity, moreover, do not …

Molecular tools perform at their best when integrated with other data and approaches. The
value of integrating approaches is especially high when the underlying genetic signal is …

Geographical surveys of genetic variation provide an indirect means of tracing movements
made between marine populations by larvae and other propagules. Genetic markers can …

Species originate frequently by natural selection. A general mechanism by which this occurs
is ecological speciation, defined as the evolution of reproductive isolation between …

The ocean is hypothesized to be where life on earth originated, and subsequent
evolutionary transitions between marine and terrestrial environments have been key events …

The North Atlantic intertidal community provides a rich set of organismal and environmental
material for the study of ecological genetics. Clearly defined environmental gradients exist at …

The field of seascape genetics aims to evaluate the effects of environmental features on
spatial genetic patterns of marine organisms. Although many methods of genetic analysis …

Our ability to make inferences about the processes acting upon a biological system can be
dramatically improved through integration of information from other fields. In particular, this is …

In many marine species, high levels of gene flow ensure that the genetic signal from
population differentiation is weak. As a consequence, various errors associated with …
