The grass rockfish (Sebastes rastrelliger Jordan and Gilbert, 1880) is a non-migratory,
benthic, near shore species distributed along rocky reefs and sea grass beds. It occurs from …

Species' traits, rather than taxonomic identities, determine community assembly and
ecosystem functioning, yet biogeographic patterns have been far less studied for traits …

Understanding the key drivers of population connectivity in the marine environment is
essential for the effective management of natural resources. Although several different …

Biogeographic gradients may facilitate divergent evolution between populations of the same
species, leading to geographic variation and possibly reproductive isolation. Previous work …

The cichlid fish of Lake Tanganyika in Eastern Africa are a celebrated example of both
ecological and species diversification. Because population subdivision is likely to play an …

The high biodiversity in tropical seas provides a long-standing challenge to allopatric
speciation models. Physical barriers are few in the ocean and larval dispersal is often …

The field of phylogeography seeks to shed light on the ecology and evolution of organisms
by resolving genetic relationships across a geographic range. This includes comparisons …

The identification of isolated populations in widely distributed marine species is often
impeded by low levels of genetic differentiation. However, modern genetic approaches now …

Previous seascape genetics studies have emphasized the role of ocean currents and
geographic distances to explain the genetic structure of marine species, but the role of …

Seascape genetics is the study of how spatially variable structural and environmental
features influence genetic patterns of marine organisms. Seascape genetics is conceptually …
