Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeography of Emerita analoga (Crustacea, Decapoda, Hippidae), an eastern Pacific Ocean sand crab with long-lived pelagic larvae
Michael N Dawson,Michael N Dawson,Paul H. Barber,Laura I. González-Guzmán,Robert J. Toonen,Jenifer E. Dugan,Richard K. Grosberg +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the geographic evolution of E. analoga, an inter-tidal sandy beach crab with an exceptionally long pelagic larval phase and wide latitudinal, amphitropical distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testing dispersal limits in the sea: range‐wide phylogeography of the pronghorn spiny lobster Panulirus penicillatus
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: How GEOME can enable genuinely open data workflows for researchers in the field of molecular ecology is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional population structure of montipora capitata across the hawaiian archipelago
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined population genetic structure using eight microsatellite loci to make inferences about exchange among geographical regions throughout Hawaiian waters to inform management and conservation efforts, and found that the majority of M. capitata colonies found at a given island/atoll across the Hawaiian Archipelago are derived from self-recruitment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Very fine‐scale population genetic structure of sympatric asterinid sea stars with benthic and pelagic larvae: influence of mating system and dispersal potential
TL;DR: The present study investigated the fine-scale population genetic structure of sympatric asterinid sea stars with contrasting modes of larval development (benthic versus pelagic) and found localized genetic structure would not be detected in the more typical regional scale approaches adopted by most studies of marine invertebrate populations.
