The seven species of sea turtles occupy a diversity of niches, and have a history tracing
back over 100 million years, yet all share basic life‐history features, including exceptional …

After a 12-million-year (My) process, the Central American Isthmus was completed 2.8 My
ago. Its emergence affected current flow, salinity, temperature, and primary productivity of …

Marine provinces, founded on contrasting floras or faunas, have been recognized for more
than 150 years but were not consistently defined by endemism until 1974. At that time …

Aim To present an updated database of fish species recorded on south‐western Atlantic reef
environments and to explore the ecological drivers of the structure, the latitudinal gradient of …

Aim To understand why and when areas of endemism (provinces) of the tropical Atlantic
Ocean were formed, how they relate to each other, and what processes have contributed to …

The dispersal of marine organisms can be restricted by a set of isolation mechanisms
including hard barriers or hydrological features. In the Western Atlantic Ocean, the Amazon …

Aim To use recently published phylogenies of three major reef fish families to explore global
patterns of species origin and dispersal over the past 65 million years. The key questions …

Abstract The Northwestern Pacific has a unique tectonic and geographical history with
several marginal seas separating Asia from the Pacific Ocean. During low sea level periods …

Diversification rates within four conspicuous coral reef fish families (Labridae,
Chaetodontidae, Pomacentridae and Apogonidae) were estimated using Bayesian …

We synthesize the evolutionary implications of recent advances in the fields of
phylogeography, biogeography and palaeogeography for shallow‐water marine species …
