The field of molecular ecology has expanded enormously in the past two decades, largely
because of the growing ease with which neutral molecular genetic data can be obtained …

Aim We seek to demonstrate that whilst information derived from phylogeographic and
landscape genetic approaches has been used broadly to further ecological and evolutionary …

Evolution occurs rapidly and is an ongoing process in our environments. Evolutionary
principles need to be built into conservation efforts, particularly given the stressful conditions …

Shallow population structure is generally reported for most marine fish and explained as a
consequence of high dispersal, connectivity and large population size. Targeted gene …

Animals that must hunt and kill for at least part of their living are inherently interesting to
many people and the role that carnivores play in biological communities attract interest from …

The implications of transitioning to single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP s) from
microsatellite markers (MS s) have been investigated in a number of population genetics …

The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) has been described as a species with low levels of genetic
variation. This has been suggested to be the consequence of a demographic bottleneck 10 …

Over the past decade the number of statistical modelling tools available to ecologists to
model species' distributions has increased at a rapid pace (eg Elith et al. 2006; Austin 2007) …

Spatial variation in species composition is one of the most fundamental and conspicuous
features of the natural world. Measures of compositional differentiation and similarity …

New Guinea is considered the most important secondary centre of diversity for sweet potato
(Ipomoea batatas). We analysed nuclear and chloroplast genetic diversity of 417 New …
