Identifying fish stock structure is fundamental to pinpoint stocks that might contribute
colonizers to overfished stocks. However, a stock's potential to contribute to rebuilding …

The accurate identification of conservation units is central to effective management
strategies. However, marine environment populations often have large census sizes and few …

The efficacy of fisheries management strategies depends on stock assessment and
management actions being carried out at appropriate spatial scales. This requires …

Gene flow shapes spatial genetic structure and the potential for local adaptation. Among
marine animals with nonmigratory adults, the presence or absence of a pelagic larval stage …

Understanding population connectivity within a species as well as potential interactions with
its close relatives is crucial to define management units and to derive efficient management …

The spatial scale at which populations are genetically structured is of immense interest for
the understanding of a species' ecology and evolutionary biology. This can have important …

Many coral reef fishes are fished, often resulting in detrimental genetic effects; however, reef
fishes often show unpredictable patterns of genetic variation, which potentially mask the …

The marine environment presents particular challenges for our understanding of the factors
that determine gene flow and consequent population structure. For marine fish, various …

Marine species often exhibit genetic discontinuities concordant with biogeographic
boundaries, frequently occurring due to changes in ocean circulation, bathymetry, coastline …

Understanding how evolutionary forces interact to drive patterns of selection and distribute
genetic variation across a species' range is of great interest in ecology and evolution …
