This special issue of Molecular Ecology celebrates the birth of phylogeography 10 years ago
(Avise et al. 1987). Because the discipline has deep roots in historical biogeography and …

Understanding how geography, oceanography, and climate have ultimately shaped marine
biodiversity requires aligning the distributions of genetic diversity across multiple taxa. Here …

The expanding scale and increasing rate of marine biological invasions have been
documented since the early 20th century. Besides their global ecological and economic …

Aim To test hypothesized biogeographic partitions of the tropical Indo‐Pacific Ocean with
phylogeographic data from 56 taxa, and to evaluate the strength and nature of barriers …

Marine biodiversity reaches its pinnacle in the tropical Indo-Pacific region, with high levels of
both species richness and endemism, especially in coral reef habitats. While this pattern of …

Phylogeography is concerned with the principles and processes that determine the
geographic distributions of genealogical lineages, within and among closely related species …

The high marine species diversity in the Indo-West Pacific declines sharply to the east and
west of the Indonesian Archipelago. This biogeographic pattern has attracted attention for …

Phylogeography is the study of the spatial arrangement of genealogical lineages, especially
within and among conspecific populations and closely related species (10). Ever since its …

The maturation of marine phylogeography depends on integration of comparative
information across different regions globally. The northwestern Pacific, characterized by …
