Current approaches to biodiversity conservation are largely based on geographic areas,
ecosystems, ecological communities, and species, with less attention on genetic diversity …

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 …

Background Resolving threats to widely distributed marine megafauna requires definition of
the geographic distributions of both the threats as well as the population unit (s) of interest …

Deciphering genetic structure and inferring connectivity in marine species have been
challenging due to weak genetic differentiation and limited resolution offered by traditional …

Estimating the rate of exchange of individuals among populations is a central concern to
evolutionary ecology and its applications to conservation and management. For instance …

By providing new approaches to the investigation of demographic and evolutionary
dynamics of wild populations, molecular genetics has led to fundamental changes in our …

An essential prerequisite of a sustainable fisheries management is the matching of
biologically relevant processes and management action. In fisheries management and …

Connectivity among populations determines the dynamics and evolution of populations, and
its assessment is essential in ecology in general and in conservation biology in particular …

The rapid growth in genomic techniques provides the potential to transform how we protect,
manage, and conserve marine life. Further, solutions to boost the resilience of marine …

Successful dispersal between populations leaves a genetic wake that can reveal historical
and contemporary patterns of connectivity. Genetic studies of differentiation in the sea …
