Many populations of elasmobranchs (sharks and rays) are experiencing severe declines
due to the high demand for shark fins in Asia, the activities of unregulated fisheries, and …

Background The interplay of animal dispersal and environmental heterogeneity is
fundamental for the distribution of biodiversity on earth. In the ocean, the interaction of …

Robust assessments of the effects of fishing require accounting for components of fishing
mortality, including post‐release fishing mortality (Fr). Random‐effects meta‐analysis …

Highly migratory, cosmopolitan oceanic sharks often exhibit complex movement patterns
influenced by ontogeny, reproduction, and feeding. These elusive species are particularly …

Abstract Knowledge of genetic connectivity dynamics in the world's large‐bodied, highly
migratory, apex predator sharks across their global ranges is limited. One such species, the …

'Species' are central to understanding the origin and dynamics of biological diversity;
explaining why lineages split into multiple distinct species is one of the main goals of …

Conservation genetic approaches for elasmobranchs have focused on regions of the
mitochondrial genome or a handful of nuclear microsatellites. High-throughput sequencing …

Elucidating the factors underlying the origin and maintenance of genetic variation among
populations is crucial for our understanding of their ecology and evolution, and also to help …

Sustainable management of wild fisheries requires accurate delineation of reproductively
isolated stocks to avoid depletion of a commercially and ecologically important resource …

The application of genome-wide cytonuclear molecular data to identify management and
adaptive units at various spatio-temporal levels is particularly important for overharvested …
