Ocean circulation driving macro-algal rafting is believed to serve as an important mode of
dispersal for many marine organisms, leading to predictions on population-level genetic …

Coastal lagoons and other estuarine habitats are increasingly exposed to the negative
effects of growing human populations with associated intensifications in nutrient loading …

Reduced representation (RRL) sequencing approaches (eg, RADSeq, genotyping by
sequencing) require decisions about how much to invest in genome coverage and …

The trade‐offs of using single‐digest vs. double‐digest restriction site‐associated DNA
sequencing (RAD‐seq) protocols have been widely discussed. However, no direct empirical …

Understanding the patterns of genetic diversity and adaptation across species' range is
crucial to assess its long-term persistence and determine appropriate conservation …

The tendency to discretize biology permeates taxonomy and systematics, leading to models
that simplify the often continuous nature of populations. Even when the assumption of …

Background Understanding the genetic structure and local adaptive evolutionary
mechanisms of marine organisms is crucial for the management of biological resources. As …

Endocrine disruptors have devastating impacts on the reproductive physiology of aquatic
organisms. The Gulf pipefish, Syngnathus scovelli, is a sexually dimorphic species, which …

Species lacking distinct secondary sex characteristics, such as differences in size or
morphology, are often thought to experience lower levels of sex‐specific selection in …

Stabilizing selection is important in evolutionary theories of the maintenance of genetic
variance and has been invoked as the key process determining macroevolutionary patterns …
