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

Marginal populations are often isolated and under extreme selection pressures resulting in
anomalous genetics. Consequently, ecosystems that are geographically and ecologically …

Deciphering genetic structure and inferring connectivity in marine species have been
challenging due to weak genetic differentiation and limited resolution offered by traditional …

An essential prerequisite of a sustainable fisheries management is the matching of
biologically relevant processes and management action. In fisheries management and …

Studies of adaptive evolution have experienced a recent revival in population genetics of
natural populations and there is currently much focus on identifying genomic signatures of …

Marine recreational fishing (MRF) is a popular activity that involves millions of people
worldwide. While the impacts of recreational fishing on freshwater ecosystems received …

INFERRING GENE FLOW AND MIGRATION FROM SPATIAL VARIATION IN ALLELE AND
GENOTYPE FREQUENCIES Understanding the connectivity of marine populations is vital …

Adaptation to local conditions is a fundamental process in evolution; however, mechanisms
maintaining local adaptation despite high gene flow are still poorly understood. Marine …

Identification of genome-wide patterns of divergence provides insight on how genomes are
influenced by selection and can reveal the potential for local adaptation in spatially …

Background Marine fishes have been shown to display low levels of genetic structuring and
associated high levels of gene flow, suggesting shallow evolutionary trajectories and …
