Recent studies have shown that coastal and shelf cephalopod populations have increased
globally over the last six decades. Although cephalopod landings are dominated by the …

Seamounts and oceanic currents are important oceanographic features that influence
genetic diversity of a species along its distribution, acting both as barriers or pathways for …

The relative importance of genetic drift and local adaptation in facilitating speciation remains
unclear. This is particularly true for seabirds, which can disperse over large geographic …

Molecular-based analysis has become a fundamental tool to understand the role of
Quaternary glacial episodes. In the Magellan Province in southern South America, ice …

Two sister species of horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus and T. capensis) are described
that are intensively harvested in East Atlantic waters. To address long‐standing …

Oceanic islands are hotspots of marine biodiversity, and biogeographic and evolutionary

Population genetic structure of the Patagonian longfin squid Doryteuthis gahi was assessed
across the Falkland Islands, central-southern Chile, and Peru. Microsatellite and mtDNA …

Abstract Octopus cyanea (Gray, 1849), abundant in the South‐West Indian Ocean (SWIO),
constitutes a vital resource for both subsistence and commercial fisheries. However, despite …

Thaisella chocolata is a marine gastropod (family Muricidae) occurring from northern Peru to
central Chile. It is of economic importance in these countries, where hundreds of tons are …

Aim The distribution and genetic composition of marine populations is the result of climatic
