Regional phylogeographical studies involving co‐distributed animal and plant species have
been conducted for several areas, most notably for Europe and the Pacific Northwest of …

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

Molluscs comprise the second largest phylum of animals (after arthropods), occurring in
virtually all habitats. Some are commercially important, a few are pests and some carry …

Rafting of marine and terrestrial organisms has important ecological, biogeographical and
evolutionary implications. Herein the general principles of rafting are described and how …

In marine environments, many species have apparently colonized high latitude regions
following the last glacial maximum (LGM) yet lack a life‐history stage, such as a free‐living …

Aim Phylogeographical breaks may reflect historical or present‐day impediments to gene
flow, and the congruence of these breaks across multiple species lends insight into …

Previous studies have suggested that the high diversity associated with the Norfolk
seamounts (Southwest Pacific) could reflect endemism resulting from limited dispersal due …

Our ability to make inferences about the processes acting upon a biological system can be
dramatically improved through integration of information from other fields. In particular, this is …

The marine environment offers few obvious barriers to dispersal for broadcast‐spawning
species, yet population genetic structure can occur on a scale much smaller than the …
