We examine estimates of dispersal in a broad range of marine species through an analysis
of published values, and evaluate how well these values represent global patterns through a …

Despite the enormous economic and ecological importance of marine organisms, the spatial
scales of adaptation and biocomplexity remain largely unknown. Yet, the preservation of …

As populations diverge, genomic regions associated with adaptation display elevated
differentiation. These genomic islands of adaptive divergence can inform conservation efforts in …

The mode and extent of rapid evolution and genomic change in response to human
harvesting are key conservation issues. Although experiments and models have shown a high …

Genetic population assignment used to inform wildlife management and conservation efforts
requires panels of highly informative genetic markers and sensitive assignment tests. We …

Identification of discrete and unique assemblages of individuals or populations is central to
the management of exploited species. Advances in population genomics provide new …

Chromosomal rearrangements such as inversions can play a crucial role in maintaining
polymorphism underlying complex traits and contribute to the process of speciation. In Atlantic …

Understanding patterns of dispersal and connectivity among marine populations can directly
inform fisheries conservation and management. Advances in high‐throughput sequencing …

The spatial genetic structure of most species in the open marine environment remains
largely unresolved. This information gap creates uncertainty in the sustainable management, …

Indirect genetic approaches such as those based on the association between genetic and
geographic distance (isolation by distance, IBD) may provide one of the best means of …
