The charismatic trumpetfishes, goatfishes, dragonets, flying gurnards, seahorses, and
pipefishes encompass a recently defined yet extraordinarily diverse clade of percomorph …

Estimates of population structure and gene flow allow exploring the historical and
contemporary processes that determine a species' biogeographic pattern. In mangroves …

Patterns of genetic structure in highly mobile marine vertebrates may be accompanied by
phenotypic variation. Most studies in marine turtles focused on population genetic structure …

The sea urchins Echinothrix calamaris and Echinothrix diadema have sympatric distributions
throughout the Indo-Pacific. Diverse colour variation is reported in both species. To …

Introduction: The study of the marine diversity of the North Pacific of Costa Rica began with
isolated foreign expeditions in the 1930s and was systematically developed in the mid …

Aim Globally distributed pelagic fishes are typified by very low to negligible genetic
differentiation at oceanic scales arising from high gene flow and (or) large population sizes …

Fishes of the genus Acanthurus (Acanthuridae) are strongly related to reef environments, in
a broad biogeographic context worldwide. Although their biological aspects are well known …

Abstract Background In the Tropical Eastern Pacific (TEP), four species of parrotfishes with
complex phylogeographic histories co-occur in sympatry on rocky reefs from Baja California …

The North Pacific Loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) undergoes one of the greatest of
all animal migrations, nesting exclusively in Japan and re-emerging several years later …

Few genetic studies that provide biological, ecological and evolutionary information have
been conducted for parrotfishes, including Sparisoma viride, and none has covered the full …
