Sea turtles represent an ancient lineage of marine vertebrates that evolved from terrestrial
ancestors over 100 Mya. The genomic basis of the unique physiological and ecological traits …

Understanding speciation is one of the cornerstones of biological diversity research.
Currently, speciation is often understood as a continuous process of divergence that …

The genus Stenella is comprised of five species occurring in all oceans. Despite its wide
distribution, genetic diversity information on these species is still scarce especially in the …

Hybridization is known to be part of many species' evolutionary history. Sea turtles have a
fascinating hybridization system in which species separated by as much as 43 million years …

Globally distributed marine taxa are well suited for investigations of biogeographic impacts
on genetic diversity, connectivity, and population demography. The sea turtle genus …

WGS, once restricted to model organisms, is now feasible for most taxa, and we anticipate
an explosion of whole genome resources going beyond just one reference genome for each …

Regional genetic differentiation of mitochondrial lineages occurs in migratory species with
natal philopatry such as sea turtles. However, early juvenile dispersal represents a key …

Abstract The Saimaa ringed seal (Pusa hispida saimensis) is endemic to Lake Saimaa in
Finland. The subspecies is thought to have originated when parts of the ringed seal …

Abstract The New World Vulture [Coragyps] occidentalis (L. Miller, 1909) is one of many
species that were extinct by the end of the Pleistocene. To understand its evolutionary …

Hybridization could be considered part of the evolutionary history of many species. The
hybridization among sea turtle species on the Brazilian coast is atypical and occurs where …
