Otolith microchemistry was used to identify marine‐versus freshwater‐derived recruitment of
three native freshwater fish species belonging to the southern hemisphere family …

Dispersal sets the fundamental scales of ecological and evolutionary dynamics and has
important implications for population persistence. Patterns of marine dispersal remain poorly …

Atherina boyeri is a common inhabitant of the Mediterranean brackish and coastal waters.
Several recent studies proposed the recognition of three distinct forms/species (one …

Freshwater species on tropical islands face localized extinction and the loss of genetic
diversity. Their habitats can be ephemeral due to variability in freshwater run‐off and …

Connectivity during the ontogenetic development of fishes identifies the spatial scale over
which populations function, which is the appropriate scale for conservation and …

Conservation of species should be based on knowledge of effective population sizes and
understanding of how breeding tactics and selection of recruitment habitats lead to genetic …

Phylogeographical studies based on DNA sequences offer insights into intraspecific genetic
patterns, elucidating the history and structure of populations and their habitats. We used …

Inter-population differences in otolith shape, morphology and chemistry have been used
effectively as indicators for stock assessment or for recognizing environmental adaptation in …

Linear and heterogeneous habitat makes headwater stream networks an ideal ecosystem in
which to test the influence of environmental factors on spatial genetic patterns of obligatory …

Connectivity between juvenile habitats and adult stocks is important for determining the
resilience of local fisheries and the relative contribution of different juvenile habitat areas to …
