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 …

Much of what we know about speciation comes from detailed studies of well‐known model
systems. Although there have been several important syntheses on speciation, few (if any) …

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 …

The marine tropics contain five major biogeographic regions (East Pacific, Atlantic, Indian
Ocean, Indo-Australian Archipelago (IAA) and Central Pacific). These regions are separated …

The family Pomacentridae is a species-rich group of primarily marine fishes. The
phylogenetic relationships of the damselfishes are examined herein using sequence data …

Phylogenetic reconstruction of the evolutionary relationships among 61 of the 70 species of
the parrotfish genera Chlorurus and Scarus (Family Labridae) based on mitochondrial and …

Marine fishes exhibit spectacular phenotypic changes during their ontogeny, and the
identification of their early stages is challenging due to the paucity of diagnostic …

Crop wild relatives (CWR) are a rich source of genetic diversity for crop improvement.
Combining ecogeographic and phylogenetic techniques can inform both conservation and …

Phylogeographic and evolutionary research programmes have successfully elucidated
compelling genetic signatures of earth history. Particularly influential achievements include …

Biodiversity patterns across the marine tropics have intrigued evolutionary biologists and
ecologists alike. Tropical coral reefs host 1/3 of all marine species of fish on 0.1% of the …
