Locomotor preferences and habitat types may drive animal evolution. In this study, we
speculated that locomotor preference and habitat type may have diverse influences on …

Although mitochondrial DNA has been widely used in phylogeography, evidence has
emerged that factors such as climate, food availability, and environmental pressures that …

The deep-sea environment is characterized by extreme and inhospitable conditions,
including oxygen depletion, low temperatures, high pressure, absence of light, and limited …
