A robust assessment of the American eel (Anguilla rostrata) stock, required to guide
conservation efforts, is challenged by the species' vast range, high variability in …

Genomic evidence is increasingly underpinning that hybridization between taxa is
commonplace, challenging our views on the mechanisms that maintain their boundaries …

Abstract Knowledge of relationships in wild populations is critical for better understanding
mating systems and inbreeding scenarios to inform conservation strategies for endangered …

Variability within species is key for adaptability and biological evolution. To understand
individualities in the context of animal movement, we focused on one of the most remarkable …

Abstract The Sargasso Sea has long been considered as the only spawning area for Atlantic
eels, despite the absence of direct observations. The present study raises a novel scenario …

Passive dispersal via wind or ocean currents can drive asymmetric gene flow, which
influences patterns of genetic variation and the capacity of populations to evolve in response …

Harvest can disrupt wildlife populations by removing adults with naturally high survival. This
can reshape sociospatial structure, genetic composition, fitness, and potentially affect …

1. Vicariance and ecological adaptation are two evolutionary mechanisms that can generate
biodiversity. Evidence from recent studies has shown that the patterns of genetic variation of …

Determining the genetic population structure and intraspecific evolution of species is
important for efficient management. Here we investigated 394 sequences of the mtDNA cyt b …

Understanding the effects of harvest is integral for sustainable wildlife management and
conservation. And yet, the focus of managers has predominantly been on the direct mortality …
