Polar ecosystems are experiencing amongst the most rapid rates of regional warming on
Earth. Here, we discuss ‘omics’ approaches to investigate polar biodiversity, including the …

A central paradigm in conservation biology is that population bottlenecks reduce genetic
diversity and population viability. In an era of biodiversity loss and climate change, …

Technological innovations such as next generation sequencing and DNA hybridisation
enrichment have resulted in multi‐fold increases in both the quantity of ancient DNA sequence …

To study the effect of water flow on coral growth, four series of ten coral nubbins of Galaxea
fascicularis were exposed to four different flow regimes (0, 10, 20, and 25 cm s −1 , …

This study presents a comprehensive and generic framework that provides a typology for
the identification and selection of consistently defined ecosystem-based management …

Despite an increasing appreciation of the importance of host–microbe interactions in
ecological and evolutionary processes, the factors shaping microbial communities in wild …

Much debate surrounds the importance of top-down and bottom-up effects in the Southern
Ocean, where the harvesting of over two million whales in the mid twentieth century is thought …

High density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays allow large numbers of individuals
to be rapidly and cost-effectively genotyped at large numbers of genetic markers. However…

The analysis of ancient DNA is playing an increasingly important role in conservation genetic,
phylogenetic and population genetic analyses, as it allows incorporating extinct species …

The Paisley Caves in Oregon record the oldest directly dated human remains (DNA) in the
Western Hemisphere. More than 100 high-precision radiocarbon dates show that deposits …
