Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been the workhorse of research in phylogeography for
almost two decades. However, concerns with basing evolutionary interpretations on mtDNA …

Several marine animals, including salmon and sea turtles, disperse across vast expanses of
ocean before returning as adults to their natal areas to reproduce. How animals accomplish …

Marine chelonians have inhabited the earth for over 100 million years, since the Cretaceous
(Hirayama, 1998) and the fossil record reveals that four families were established during this …

The population genetic structure and phylogeography of wahoo, Acanthocybium solandri,
were investigated on a global scale with intron six of lactate dehydrogenase‐A (ldhA6, 8 …

Connectivity among populations of highly migratory species is an area of active research
and is often quantified with genetic markers. We determined mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) …

In the present study, we use mtDNA sequence data (cyt b gene) in combination with nuclear
DNA sequences (C‐mos, Rag2 genes, R35 intron), nuclear genomic fingerprints (ISSR) and …

With the availability of highly variable microsatellite loci, many previously elusive aspects of
the lives of animals have been revealed. One important finding is that multiple paternity (MP) …

The study of turtle population genetics has come a long way in the past few decades. In the
early 1990s, technologies such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and automated DNA …

In recent years many cases of hybridization and introgression became known for
chelonians, requiring a better understanding of their speciation mechanisms …

The origin of disjunct distributions in high dispersal marine taxa remains an important
evolutionary question as it relates to the formation of new species in an environment where …
