Estimating the rate of exchange of individuals among populations is a central concern to
evolutionary ecology and its applications to conservation and management. For instance …

Freshwater eels are important animals because they have a unique catadromous life history
and are used as food resources. European, American and Japanese eel populations now …

Anguillid eels are found globally in fresh, transitional and saline waters and have played an
important role in human life for centuries. The population status of several species is now of …

Allopatric speciation may be the principal mechanism generating new species. Yet, it
remains difficult to judge the generality of this process because few studies have provided …

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

In March 2012, the authors met at the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent) in
Durham, North Carolina, USA, to discuss approaches and cooperative ventures in Indo …

Salmonid fishes rank among species being most severely affected by introgressive
hybridization as a result of a long tradition of stocking with hatchery‐reared conspecifics …

The emerging field of next-generation sequencing (NGS) is rapidly expanding capabilities

Background Evolutionary processes, including selection and differential fitness, shape the
introgression of genetic material across a hybrid zone, resulting in the exchange of some …

Scientific naming rules of animals are strictly defined by the International Code of Zoological
Nomenclature, while those for common names are vague and not well defined. Specifically …
