▪ Abstract A moment estimator of θ, the coancestry coefficient for alleles within a population,
was described by Weir & Cockerham in 1984 and is still widely cited. The estimate is used …

Since the first investigation 25 years ago, the application of genetic tools to address
ecological and evolutionary questions in elasmobranch studies has greatly expanded. Major …

Many marine organisms are sedentary as adults and are redistributed between generations
by the oceanic transport of planktonic larvae. In order to assess interactions among …

▪ Abstract With continued human pressure on marine fisheries and ocean resources,
aquaculture has become one of the most promising avenues for increasing marine fish …

Using eight microsatellite loci and a variety of analytical methods, we estimated genetic
effective size (N e) of an abundant and long-lived marine fish species, the red drum …

The extent of dispersal by pelagic larvae in marine environments, including coral reefs, is
central for understanding local population dynamics and designing sustainable marine …

Genetic studies of population or 'stock'structure in exploited marine fishes typically are
designed to determine whether geographic boundaries useful for conservation and …

Restriction site‐associated DNA (RAD) sequencing was used to characterize neutral and
adaptive genetic variation among geographic samples of red drum, Sciaenops ocellatus, an …

The genetic relationships among 337 northern pike (Esox lucius) collected from the coastal
zone of the central Baltic region and the Finnish islands of Åland were analysed using five …

Abstract The Gulf of Mexico has a dynamic ichthyofaunal community of more than 1443
finfish species, over 51 shark species, and at least 49 species of rays and skates. The Gulf of …
