The origins of tropical marine biodiversity
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 …

Coral reef population genomics in an age of global change
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 …

Species richness of jellyfishes (Scyphozoa: Discomedusae) in the Tropical Eastern Pacific: missed taxa, molecules, and morphology match in a biodiversity hotspot
LG Daglio, MN Dawson - Invertebrate Systematics, 2017 - CSIRO Publishing
Species richness in the seas has been underestimated due to the combined challenges
presented by the taxonomic impediment, delimitation of species, preponderance of cryptic …

Interspecific hybridization causes long‐term phylogenetic discordance between nuclear and mitochondrial genomes in freshwater fishes
GP Wallis, SR Cameron‐Christie… - Molecular …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Classification, phylogeography and the testing of evolutionary hypotheses rely on correct
estimation of species phylogeny. Early molecular phylogenies often relied on mt DNA alone …
