Best use of scientific knowledge is required to maintain the fundamental role of seafood in
human nutrition. While it is acknowledged that genomic-based methods allow the collection …

Aquatic species represent a vast diversity of metazoans, provide humans with the most
abundant animal protein source, and are of increasing conservation concern, yet landscape …

The ancestors of marine mammals once roamed the land and independently committed to
an aquatic lifestyle. These macroevolutionary transitions have intrigued scientists for …

Harnessing information encoded in environmental DNA (eDNA) in marine waters has the
potential to revolutionize marine biomonitoring. Whether using organism-specific …

Background The interplay of animal dispersal and environmental heterogeneity is
fundamental for the distribution of biodiversity on earth. In the ocean, the interaction of …

The spatial genetic structure of most species in the open marine environment remains
largely unresolved. This information gap creates uncertainty in the sustainable …

Landscape genomics is a rapidly advancing research field that combines population
genomics, landscape ecology, and spatial analytical techniques to explicitly quantify the …

Gene flow has tremendous importance for local adaptation, by influencing the fate of de
novo mutations, maintaining standing genetic variation and driving adaptive introgression …

In times of overfishing and climate change, marine resources are extremely vulnerable, and
the vast majority of the world's fish stocks have already collapsed. In this fragile context, the …

With overfishing reducing the abundance of marine predators in multiple marine
ecosystems, knowledge of genetic structure and local adaptation may provide valuable …
