Recent phylogeographic studies have overturned three paradigms for the origins of marine
biodiversity.(i) Physical (allopatric) isolation is not the sole avenue for marine speciation …

Levels of genetic differentiation between populations can be highly variable across the
genome, with divergent selection contributing to such heterogeneous genomic divergence …

The origin of biological diversity, via the formation of new species, can be inextricably linked
to adaptation to the ecological environment. Specifically, ecological processes are central to …

Aim To present an updated database of fish species recorded on south‐western Atlantic reef
environments and to explore the ecological drivers of the structure, the latitudinal gradient of …

Population connectivity plays significant roles on both evolutionary and ecological time-
scales; however, quantifying the magnitude and pattern of exchange between populations of …

Fish conservation in South America is a pressing issue. The biodiversity of fishes, just as
with all other groups of plants and animals, is far from fully known. Continuing habitat loss …

Aim To understand why and when areas of endemism (provinces) of the tropical Atlantic
Ocean were formed, how they relate to each other, and what processes have contributed to …

Connectivity among populations determines the dynamics and evolution of populations, and
its assessment is essential in ecology in general and in conservation biology in particular …

Genetic differentiation can be highly variable across the genome. For example, loci under
divergent selection and those tightly linked to them may exhibit elevated differentiation …

Aim To use recently published phylogenies of three major reef fish families to explore global
patterns of species origin and dispersal over the past 65 million years. The key questions …
