Structural genomic variants (SVs) are ubiquitous and play a major role in adaptation and
speciation. Yet, comparative and population genomics have focused predominantly on gene …

Advancing technologies have facilitated the ever‐widening application of genetic markers
such as microsatellites into new systems and research questions in biology. In light of the …

A major issue in evolutionary biology is explaining patterns of differentiation observed in
population genomic data, as divergence can be due to both direct selection on a locus and …

Fish have evolved a variety of sex‐determining (SD) systems including male heterogamy
(XY), female heterogamy (ZW) and environmental SD. Little is known about SD mechanisms …

Marine species with pelagic larvae typically exhibit little population structure, suggesting
long‐distance dispersal and high gene flow. Directly quantifying dispersal of marine fishes is …

Depth separation is a proposed driver of speciation in marine fishes, with marine rockfish
(genus Sebastes) providing a potentially informative study system. Sebastes rockfishes are …

The Sebastes inermis complex includes three sympatric species (Sebastes cheni, viz
Sebastes inermis, and Sebastes ventricosus) with clear ecomorphological differences, albeit …

Interspecific hybridization is an important evolutionary process, which has significant
influence on the diversity within and between participating taxa. Although interspecific …

Postmating isolation is thought to be an important driver of the late stages of speciation.
However, relatively little is empirically known about the process compared with other …

We are pleased to report that the state of the journal continues to be strong. Molecular
Ecology's impact factor as calculated by ISI Web of Knowledge rose for the sixth year in a …
