The importance of considering genetic diversity in shark and ray conservation policies
RR Domingues, AWS Hilsdorf, OBF Gadig - Conservation genetics, 2018 - Springer
Many populations of elasmobranchs (sharks and rays) are experiencing severe declines
due to the high demand for shark fins in Asia, the activities of unregulated fisheries, and …

Barriers in a sea of elasmobranchs: From fishing for populations to testing hypotheses in population genetics
Background The interplay of animal dispersal and environmental heterogeneity is
fundamental for the distribution of biodiversity on earth. In the ocean, the interaction of …

Decline of coastal apex shark populations over the past half century
Overexploitation of large apex marine predators is widespread in the world's oceans, yet the
timing and extent of declines are poorly understood. Here we reconstruct a unique fisheries …

The role of context in elucidating drivers of animal movement
Despite its consequences for ecological processes and population dynamics, intra‐specific
variability is frequently overlooked in animal movement studies. Consequently, the …

World without borders—genetic population structure of a highly migratory marine predator, the blue shark (Prionace glauca)
Highly migratory, cosmopolitan oceanic sharks often exhibit complex movement patterns
influenced by ontogeny, reproduction, and feeding. These elusive species are particularly …

Thermal performance responses in free-ranging elasmobranchs depend on habitat use and body size
Temperature is one of the most influential drivers of physiological performance and
behaviour in ectotherms, determining how these animals relate to their ecosystems and their …

Evidence for environmental and ecological selection in a microbe with no geographic limits to gene flow
KA Whittaker, TA Rynearson - Proceedings of the National …, 2017 - National Acad Sciences
The ability for organisms to disperse throughout their environment is thought to strongly
influence population structure and thus evolution of diversity within species. A decades-long …

Reviewing the genetic evidence for sex-biased dispersal in elasmobranchs
NM Phillips, F Devloo-Delva, C McCall… - Reviews in Fish Biology …, 2021 - Springer
Dispersal in many organisms is asymmetric by sex, a pattern that is often identified through
the use of genetic tools. Sex-biased dispersal (SBD) is thought to derive from the varying …

Adaptive markers distinguish North and South Pacific Albacore amid low population differentiation
Albacore (Thunnus alalunga) support an economically valuable global fishery, but
surprisingly little is known about the population structure of this highly migratory species …
