Recent phylogeographic studies have overturned three paradigms for the origins of marine
biodiversity.(i) Physical (allopatric) isolation is not the sole avenue for marine speciation …

Aim Pleistocene glacial cycles reduced global sea level by up to 130 m below present
levels. These changes had profound impacts on coastal marine life, including a reduction of …

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

Abstract Aim The Red Sea is characterised by a unique fauna and historical periods of
desiccation, hypersalinity and intermittent isolation. The origin and contemporary …

Aim The geological and palaeo‐climatic forces that produced the unique biodiversity in the
Red Sea are a subject of vigorous debate. Here, we review evidence for and against the …

Abstract The Red Sea has long been recognized as a region of high biodiversity and
endemism. Despite this diversity and early history of scientific work, our understanding of the …

We synthesize the evolutionary implications of recent advances in the fields of
phylogeography, biogeography and palaeogeography for shallow‐water marine species …

Relatively small volumes of water may contain sufficient environmental DNA (eDNA) to
detect target aquatic organisms via genetic sequencing. We therefore assessed the utility of …

ABSTRACT The Tethys Ocean existed between the continents of Gondwana and Laurasia
from the Triassic to the Pliocene. Analyses of multiple biogeographic and phylogenetic …

This chapter introduces the environmental gradients that characterize the broader Red Sea
habitat. The Red Sea is formed by an actively spreading rift and notably has only one natural …
