Abstract In the northwest Atlantic Ocean, sea scallop (Placopecten magellanicus) has been
characterized by a latitudinal genetic cline with a breakpoint between northern and southern …

Environmental factors can influence diversity and population structure in marine species and
accurate understanding of this influence can both improve fisheries management and help …

Despite long planktonic durations, many species of broadcast spawning invertebrates
exhibit genetic structure at small spatial and temporal scales. Amplified fragment length …

Understanding the processes responsible for shaping the spatial genetic patterns of species
is critical for predicting evolutionary dynamics and defining significant evolutionary and/or …

Recent developments in genomics are advancing our understanding of the processes
shaping population structure in wild organisms. In particular, reduced representation …

Both historical and contemporary processes influence the genetic structure of species, but
the relative roles of such processes are still difficult to access. Population genetic studies of …

The great scallop (Pecten maximus) is a commercially important bivalve in Europe,
particularly in the English Channel, where fisheries are managed at regional and local …

We assessed genetic differentiation among populations of weathervane scallop
(Patinopecten caurinus) in the northeastern Pacific, extending over 2500 km in the Gulf of …

Conservation of exploited species requires an understanding of both genetic diversity and
the dominant structuring forces, particularly near range limits, where climatic variation can …

Climate influences population genetic variation in marine species. Capturing these impacts
remains challenging for marine fishes which disperse over large geographical scales …
