Many populations of elasmobranchs (sharks and rays) are experiencing severe declines
due to the high demand for shark fins in Asia, the activities of unregulated fisheries, and …

Background The interplay of animal dispersal and environmental heterogeneity is
fundamental for the distribution of biodiversity on earth. In the ocean, the interaction of …

Sex‐biased dispersal is expected to homogenize nuclear genetic variation relative to
variation in genetic material inherited through the philopatric sex. When site fidelity occurs …

Relative abundance of many shark species in the Atlantic is assessed by compiling data
from several independently conducted, but somewhat spatially limited surveys. Although …

Understanding how interactions among microevolutionary forces generate genetic
population structure of exploited species is vital to the implementation of management …

Abstract Knowledge of genetic connectivity dynamics in the world's large‐bodied, highly
migratory, apex predator sharks across their global ranges is limited. One such species, the …

Dispersal in many organisms is asymmetric by sex, a pattern that is often identified through
the use of genetic tools. Sex-biased dispersal (SBD) is thought to derive from the varying …

Research into marine population connectivity (MPC)—the rate of transfer of organisms
between locations—is important for our understanding of how marine systems operate as …

The application of genome-wide cytonuclear molecular data to identify management and
adaptive units at various spatio-temporal levels is particularly important for overharvested …

The family Carcharhinidae includes the most typical and recognizable sharks, although its
internal classification is the subject of extensive debate. In particular, the type genus …
