Anchovy and sardine populated productive ocean regions over hundreds of thousands of
years under a naturally varying climate, and are now subject to climate change of equal or …

Small pelagic fish contribute up to 50% of the total landing of marine species. They are most
abundant in upwelling areas and contribute to food security. Exploited stocks of these …

Phylogeography is a discipline concerned with various relationships between gene
genealogies—phylogenetics—and geography. The word “phylogeography” was coined in …

Short DNA sequences from a standardized region of the genome provide a DNA barcode for
identifying species. Compiling a public library of DNA barcodes linked to named specimens …

In many marine species, high levels of gene flow ensure that the genetic signal from
population differentiation is weak. As a consequence, various errors associated with …

Marine ecosystems are suffering severe depletion of apex predators worldwide [1–4]; shark
declines are principally due to conservative life-histories and fisheries overexploitation [5–8] …

Studies of adaptive evolution have experienced a recent revival in population genetics of
natural populations and there is currently much focus on identifying genomic signatures of …

Populations of fishes are increasingly threatened by over‐exploitation, pollution, habitat
destruction, and climate change. In order to better understand the factors that can explain …

Extreme concentration of marine biodiversity and exploitation of marine resources in the
Coral Triangle pose challenges to biogeographers and resource managers. Comparative …

Abstract The Northwestern Pacific has a unique tectonic and geographical history with
several marginal seas separating Asia from the Pacific Ocean. During low sea level periods …
