Evolutionary innovation and ecology in marine tetrapods from the Triassic to the Anthropocene
BACKGROUND More than 30 different lineages of amphibians, reptiles, birds, and
mammals have independently invaded oceans ecosystems. Prominent examples include …

Animal cognition and culture mediate predator–prey interactions
Predator–prey ecology and the study of animal cognition and culture have emerged as
independent disciplines. Research combining these disciplines suggests that both animal …

Fear at the top: killer whale predation drives white shark absence at South Africa's largest aggregation site
Risk-induced fear effects exerted by top predators are pervasive in terrestrial and marine
systems, with lasting impacts on ecosystem structure and function. The loss of top predators …

Habitat‐driven population structure of bottlenose dolphins, Tursiops truncatus, in the North‐East Atlantic
Despite no obvious barrier to gene flow, historical environmental processes and ecological
specializations can lead to genetic differentiation in highly mobile animals. Ecotypes …

Runs of homozygosity in killer whale genomes provide a global record of demographic histories
Runs of homozygosity (ROH) occur when offspring inherit haplotypes that are identical by
descent from each parent. Length distributions of ROH are informative about population …

The relevance of genetic structure in ecotype designation and conservation management
The concept of ecotypes is complex, partly because of its interdisciplinary nature, but the
idea is intrinsically valuable for evolutionary biology and applied conservation. The complex …
