Spatial coalescent connectivity through multi-generation dispersal modelling predicts gene flow across marine phyla
Gene flow governs the contemporary spatial structure and dynamic of populations as well as
their long-term evolution. For species that disperse using atmospheric or oceanic flows …

Sliding toward the collapse of Mediterranean coastal marine rocky ecosystems
Climate change is one of the biggest emerging threats to marine biodiversity in the
Mediterranean Sea. In this chapter, we focus on the recurrent and large scale mass mortality …

Rare, long‐distance dispersal underpins genetic connectivity in the pink sea fan, Eunicella verrucosa
Characterizing patterns of genetic connectivity in marine species is of critical importance
given the anthropogenic pressures placed on the marine environment. For sessile species …

Not out of the Mediterranean: Atlantic populations of the gorgonian Paramuricea clavata are a separate sister species under further lineage diversification
The accurate delimitation of species boundaries in nonbilaterian marine taxa is notoriously
difficult, with consequences for many studies in ecology and evolution. Anthozoans are a …

Molecular species delimitation methods and population genetics data reveal extensive lineage diversity and cryptic species in Aglaopheniidae (Hydrozoa)
A comprehensive inventory of global biodiversity would be greatly improved by automating
methods for species delimitation. The Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery method, the …

Combining genetic and demographic data for the conservation of a Mediterranean marine habitat-forming species
The integration of ecological and evolutionary data is highly valuable for conservation
planning. However, it has been rarely used in the marine realm, where the adequate design …

Contrasting patterns of population structure and gene flow facilitate exploration of connectivity in two widely distributed temperate octocorals
Connectivity is an important component of metapopulation dynamics in marine systems and
can influence population persistence, migration rates and conservation decisions …
