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

 Abstract Four Trichiurus species, T. japonicus, T. lepturus, T. nanhaiensis, and T. brevis,
from the coasts of the China Seas, have been identified and their entire mitochondrial …

Abstract The biodiversity of Red Sea corals captured the attention of some of the earliest
European natural historians. Many of the first descriptions of tropical reef corals were based …

Abstract Aim Biogeographical processes underlying Indo‐Pacific biodiversity patterns have
been relatively well studied in marine shallow water invertebrates and fishes, but have been …

Abstract The Socotra Archipelago, located in the eastern Gulf of Aden, has a unique marine
environment which combines tropical and 'pseudo-temperate'elements. Studies on the fish …

Fire corals of the hydrocoral genus Millepora provide an important ecological role as
framework builders of coral reefs in the Indo-Pacific and the Atlantic. Recent works have …

Background Evolutionary divergence and speciation often occur at a slower rate in the
marine realm due to the higher potential for long-distance reproductive interaction through …

The regal angelfish (Pygoplites diacanthus; family Pomacanthidae) occurs on reefs from the
Red Sea to the central Pacific, with an Indian Ocean/Rea Sea color morph distinct from a …

The scientific field of conservation biology is dominated by 3 specialties: phylogenetics,
ecology, and evolution. Under this triad, phylogenetics is oriented towards the past history of …

Due to the highly similar external morphology of the Pampus species, misidentifications
frequently occur and hinder the understanding of the taxonomy and species distributions of …
