Recent phylogeographic studies have overturned three paradigms for the origins of marine
biodiversity.(i) Physical (allopatric) isolation is not the sole avenue for marine speciation …

Extreme concentration of marine biodiversity and exploitation of marine resources in the
Coral Triangle pose challenges to biogeographers and resource managers. Comparative …

Understanding how geography, oceanography, and climate have ultimately shaped marine
biodiversity requires aligning the distributions of genetic diversity across multiple taxa. Here …

Aim To use recently published phylogenies of three major reef fish families to explore global
patterns of species origin and dispersal over the past 65 million years. The key questions …

Background Trade in ornamental fishes represents, by far, the largest route for the
importation of exotic vertebrates. There is growing pressure to regulate this trade with the …

We synthesize the evolutionary implications of recent advances in the fields of
phylogeography, biogeography and palaeogeography for shallow‐water marine species …

Background International fish trade reached an import value of 62.8 billion Euro in 2006, of
which 44.6% are covered by the European Union. Species identification is a key problem …

The family Pomacentridae is a species-rich group of primarily marine fishes. The
phylogenetic relationships of the damselfishes are examined herein using sequence data …

Abstract Even though the Indo‐Malay Archipelago hosts the world's greatest diversity of
marine species, studies on the genetic population structure and gene flow of marine …

In March 2012, the authors met at the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent) in
Durham, North Carolina, USA, to discuss approaches and cooperative ventures in Indo …
