The global impacts of climate change are evident in every marine ecosystem. On coral reefs,
mass coral bleaching and mortality have emerged as ubiquitous responses to ocean …

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are an area-based conservation strategy commonly used to
safeguard marine biodiversity and ecosystem services. Ecological connectivity governs the …

A fully updated guide to the increasingly prevalent use of molecular data in ecological
studies Molecular ecology is concerned with how molecular biology and population genetics …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) extracted from water samples has recently shown potential as a
valuable source of population genetic information for aquatic macroorganisms. This …

Coral reefs are both exceptionally biodiverse and threatened by climate change and other
human activities. Here, we review population genomic processes in coral reef taxa and their …

Investigating how environmental features shape the genetic structure of populations is
crucial for understanding how they are potentially adapted to their habitats, as well as for …

Background Marine species can demonstrate strong genetic differentiation and population
structure despite the hypothesis of open seas and high connectivity. Some suggested …

Dispersal is generally difficult to directly observe. Instead, dispersal is often inferred from
genetic markers and biophysical modelling where a correspondence indicates that dispersal …

Marine populations are typically characterized by weak genetic differentiation due to the
potential for long‐distance dispersal favouring high levels of gene flow. However, strong …

Gene flow governs the contemporary spatial structure and dynamic of populations as well as
their long-term evolution. For species that disperse using atmospheric or oceanic flows …
