Open ocean zooplankton often have been viewed as slowly evolving species that have
limited capacity to respond adaptively to changing ocean conditions. Hence, attention has …

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 …

The population structure of the edible Atlanto‐Mediterranean sea urchin Paracentrotus
lividus is described by analysing sequence variation in a fragment of the mitochondrial gene …

Abstract The Strait of Gibraltar has been proposed to be the divide between two marine
biogeographical regions, the Mediterranean Sea and the Northeast Atlantic. Intraspecific …

The phylogeography of thornback rays (Raja clavata) was assessed from European waters,
using five nuclear microsatellite loci and mitochondrial cytochome b sequences. Strong …

Molecular variation of the lagoon cockle Cerastoderma glaucum (Poiret, 1789) was
examined across the species range along European coasts, from the northern Baltic to the …

Abstract The Atlantic Ocean-Mediterranean Sea junction has been proposed as an
important phylogeographical area on the basis of concordance in genetic patterns observed …

Aim A central question in evolutionary ecology is the nature of environmental barriers that
can limit gene flow and induce population genetic divergence, a first step towards …

Global warming is affecting the population dynamics and trophic interactions across a wide
range of ecosystems and habitats. Translating these real‐time effects into their long‐term …

The phylogeographical patterns of a small marine fish, the common goby, Pomatoschistus
