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

Global environmental change is altering the selection regime for all biota. The key selective
factors are altered mean, variance and seasonality of climatic variables and increase in CO2 …

High gene flow is considered the norm for most marine organisms and is expected to limit
their ability to adapt to local environments. Few studies have directly compared the patterns …

Coupled biological and physical oceanographic models are powerful tools for studying
connectivity among marine populations because they simulate the movement of larvae …

Estimation of effective population sizes (Ne) and temporal gene flow (Nem, m) has many
implications for understanding population structure in evolutionary and conservation …

Introduction Viruses are abundant and ecologically significant in marine ecosystems.
However, the virome of deep-sea sediments is not extensively investigated. Objectives To …

Adaptation across environmental gradients has been demonstrated in numerous systems
with extensive dispersal, despite high gene flow and consequently low genetic structure …

Most free-living barnacles are hermaphroditic, and eggs are presumed to be fertilized either
by pseudo-copulation or self-fertilization. Although the common northeast Pacific intertidal …

Metabolic enzyme loci were some of the first genes accessible for molecular evolution and
ecology research. New technologies now make the whole genome, transcriptome or …

Mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit one (COI) sequence, nuclear microsatellites, and
amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) were used to evaluate connectivity …
