By providing new approaches to the investigation of demographic and evolutionary
dynamics of wild populations, molecular genetics has led to fundamental changes in our …

▪ Abstract The movement of individuals defines a spatial neighborhood that can help
determine marine management strategies. Here, I briefly review four fields of marine biology …

Recent improvements in genetic analysis and genoty** methods have resulted in a rapid
expansion of the power of molecular markers to address ecological questions …

Numerous groundfish stocks in both the Atlantic and Pacific are considered overfished,
resulting in large-scale fishery closures. Fishing, in addition to simply removing biomass …

Comparing many species' population genetic patterns across the same seascape can
identify species with different levels of structure, and suggest hypotheses about the …

In an effort to accelerate the ongoing paradigm shift in fisheries science from the traditional
single-species mindset toward more ecosystem-based approaches, we offer the following …

A long‐standing issue in marine biology is identifying spatial scales at which populations of
sessile adults are connected by planktonic offspring. We examined the genetic continuity of …

Background The study of speciation in the marine realm is challenging because of the
apparent absence of physical barriers to dispersal, which are one of the main drivers of …

The evolutionary relationships of the livebearing rockfishes of the genus Sebastes have
been a point of interest since their original description. With over 65 species found in the …

Aim Phylogeographical breaks may reflect historical or present‐day impediments to gene
flow, and the congruence of these breaks across multiple species lends insight into …
