Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is an evolving tool that can provide broader
assessments of marine biodiversity than conventional visual census methods. The outputs of …

The rate of change in DNA is an important parameter for understanding molecular evolution
and hence for inferences drawn from studies of phylogeography and phylogenetics. Most …

Aim To identify connectivity patterns among coral reefs of the Indo‐West Pacific. Projecting
connectivity forward in time provides a framework for studying long‐term source–sink …

We investigated species diversity and distribution patterns of the marine red alga Portieria in
