Since the first investigation 25 years ago, the application of genetic tools to address
ecological and evolutionary questions in elasmobranch studies has greatly expanded. Major …

Concentrated chemical spills have been shown to impact adversely on fish populations and
even cause localized population extinctions. Evaluating population‐level impacts of …

In an effort to provide a framework for the accurate identification of elasmobranchs, driven in
large part by the needs of parasitological studies, a comprehensive survey of DNA …

Many populations of elasmobranchs (sharks and rays) are experiencing severe declines
due to the high demand for shark fins in Asia, the activities of unregulated fisheries, and …

This article reviews recent developments in Bayesian algorithms that explicitly include
geographical information in the inference of population structure. Current models …

Background The interplay of animal dispersal and environmental heterogeneity is
fundamental for the distribution of biodiversity on earth. In the ocean, the interaction of …

Sawfishes are among the most endangered of all elasmobranch species, a factor fostering
considerable worldwide interest in the conservation of these animals. However …

Background The territorial fishing zones of Australia and Indonesia are contiguous to the
north of Australia in the Timor and Arafura Seas and in the Indian Ocean to the north of …

In this paper we combine analyses of satellite telemetry and molecular data to investigate
spatial connectivity and genetic structure among populations of shortfin mako (Isurus …

The spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias) is a temperate, coastal squaloid shark with an
antitropical distribution in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The global population structure of …
