Density-dependent processes play a key role in the spatial structuring of biodiversity.
Specifically, interrelated demographic processes, such as gene surfing, high-density …

Macroalgal communities in Australia and around the world store vast quantities of carbon in
their living biomass, but their prevalence of growing on hard substrata means that they have …

Postglacial recolonisation patterns are well documented for the Northern Hemisphere biota,
but comparable processes in the Southern Hemisphere have only recently been examined …

The paradigm of past climate-driven range shifts structuring the distribution of marine
intraspecific biodiversity lacks replication in biological models exposed to comparable …

We assessed the genetic structure of the giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera across a broad
latitudinal range along the southeastern Pacific coast (SEP). Specifically we analyzed the …

Effective predictive and management approaches for species occurring in a metapopulation
structure require good understanding of interpopulation connectivity. In this study, we ask …

Ocean currents are expected to be the predominant environmental factor influencing the
dispersal of planktonic larvae or spores; yet, their characterization as predictors of marine …

Aim Mangrove forests are among the world's most important ecosystems but are declining
rapidly worldwide. Effective conservation management requires a better understanding of …

In the last 30 years a plethora of phylogeography studies have been published targeting
Brazilian marine species. To date, several historical and extant physical and ecological …

Phylogeographic and evolutionary research programmes have successfully elucidated
compelling genetic signatures of earth history. Particularly influential achievements include …
