TL;DR: The aim of the present paper is to review the various methods of microsatellite isolation with the purpose of providing useful guidelines in making appropriate choices among the large number of currently available options and to propose a fast and easy protocol which is a combination of different published methods.

TL;DR: Results point to a combined signature of vicariance, palaeoclimate fluctuation and life‐history traits on the Atlantic–Mediterranean phylogeographical patterns, suggesting organismal determinism may play a far less significant role than marine biogeographers have generally believed.

TL;DR: Comparison of inhibition titrations in combination with the analysis of the primary structures has enabled us to identify amino acid residues in cytochrome b that may be involved in the binding of the inhibitors and, by extrapolation, quinone/quinol.

TL;DR: The results challenge the current understanding of the evolution of Antarctic notothenioids suggesting that the ecological opportunity that underlies this adaptive radiation is not linked to a single trait, but rather to a combination of freeze avoidance offered by AFGPs and subsequent exploitation of new habitats and open niches created by increased glacial and ice sheet activity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used gene-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms to assign individual marine fish back to the population of origin with unprecedented high levels of precision, using a case-driven case study and using a centrally maintained and publicly available database.
