During the past century, the field of fisheries oceanography has dominated the study of
population connectivity in marine environments. The influence of physical and biological …

To address patterns of genetic connectivity in a mass-aggregating marine fish, we analyzed
genetic variation in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), microsatellites, and single nucleotide …

The arapaima, Arapaima gigas, is a fish whose populations are threatened by both
overfishing and the ongoing destruction of its natural habitats. In the Amazon basin, varying …

We used microsatellite DNA markers to examine the impact of the Fundão Dam failure, one
of the world's worst mining-related environmental disasters, on the genetic diversity of four …

Previous studies about the genetic diversity, connectivity and demographic history in
Lutjanidae fishes have reported a common pattern of genetic homogeneity and expansion in …

Understanding of population genetics is important for the conservation and management of
species and ecosystems, providing information on population structure, connectivity, and …

Upright branching sponges, such as Aplysina cauliformis, provide critical three‐dimensional
habitat for other organisms and assist in stabilizing coral reef substrata, but are highly …

Pelagic larval duration (PLD) has been hypothesized to be the primary predictor of
connectivity in marine fishes; however, few studies have examined the effects that adult …

The formation of fish spawning aggregations (FSAs) is an essential part of the life history of
many economically important fish species; however, their status are often poorly described …

Population structure of adult red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus) from the southeastern
coast of the United States (Atlantic) and the northeastern Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) was assessed …
