Genomic scans of multiple populations often reveal marker loci with greatly increased
differentiation between populations. Often this differentiation coincides in space with …

How barriers to gene flow arise and are maintained are key questions in evolutionary
biology. Speciation research has mainly focused on barriers that occur either before mating …

Abstract Background The Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis is an ecologically
and economically relevant edible marine bivalve, highly invasive and resilient to biotic and …

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 …

Hybrid zones are fascinating systems to investigate the structure of genetic barriers. Marine
hybrid zones deserve more investigation because of the generally high dispersion potential …

Mussels belong to the phylum Mollusca, one of the largest and most diverse taxa in the
animal kingdom. Despite their importance in aquaculture and in biology in general, genomic …

Marine organisms challenge the classical theories of local adaptation and speciation
because their planktonic larvae have the potential to maintain high gene flow. The marine …

Marine communities are experiencing unprecedented rates of species homogenization due
to the increasing success of invasive species, but little is known about the mechanisms that …

Human‐mediated transport creates secondary contacts between genetically differentiated
lineages, bringing new opportunities for gene exchange. When similar introductions occur in …

The ecological and genetic factors determining the extent of introgression between species
in secondary contact zones remain poorly understood. Here, we investigate the relative …
