World phylogeography and male‐mediated gene flow in the sandbar shark, Carcharhinus plumbeus
- D. S. Portnoy, J. Mcdowell, E. Heist, J. Musick, J. Graves
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular ecology
- 16 April 2010
The sandbar shark, Carcharhinus plumbeus, is a large, cosmopolitan, coastal species. Females are thought to show philopatry to nursery grounds while males potentially migrate long distances, creating… Expand
Genetic polyandry and sexual conflict in the sandbar shark, Carcharhinus plumbeus, in the western North Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico
- D. S. Portnoy, A. Piercy, J. Musick, G. Burgess, J. Graves
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular ecology
- 18 October 2006
To investigate patterns of polyandry in the sandbar shark (Carcharhinus plumbeus), 20 pregnant females were sampled from the western North Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. Five species‐specific… Expand
These aren’t the loci you’e looking for: Principles of effective SNP filtering for molecular ecologists

- 1 August 2018
Sequencing reduced‐representation libraries of restriction site‐associated DNA (RADseq) to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is quickly becoming a standard methodology for molecular… Expand
Molecular markers: progress and prospects for understanding reproductive ecology in elasmobranchs.
- D. S. Portnoy, E. Heist
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of fish biology
- 1 April 2012
Application of modern molecular tools is expanding the understanding of elasmobranch reproductive ecology. High-resolution molecular markers provide information at scales ranging from the… Expand
Selection and sex‐biased dispersal in a coastal shark: the influence of philopatry on adaptive variation
- D. S. Portnoy, J. Puritz, C. Hollenbeck, J. Gelsleichter, D. Chapman, J. Gold
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular ecology
- 1 December 2015
Sex‐biased dispersal is expected to homogenize nuclear genetic variation relative to variation in genetic material inherited through the philopatric sex. When site fidelity occurs across a… Expand
Isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers for the dusky smoothhound shark, Mustelus canis
- M. Giresi, M. Renshaw, D. S. Portnoy, J. Gold
- Biology
- Conservation Genetics Resources
- 1 March 2012
A total of 32 nuclear-encoded microsatellites, including 15 polymorphic and 13 monomorphic microsatellites, isolated from an enriched genomic library of the triakid shark, Mustelus canis (dusky… Expand
Kin-Aggregations Explain Chaotic Genetic Patchiness, a Commonly Observed Genetic Pattern, in a Marine Fish
- J. Selwyn, J. D. Hogan, Alan M. Downey-Wall, Lauren Gurski, D. S. Portnoy, D. Heath
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 27 April 2016
The phenomenon of chaotic genetic patchiness is a pattern commonly seen in marine organisms, particularly those with demersal adults and pelagic larvae. This pattern is usually associated with… Expand
Identification and Distribution of Morphologically Conserved Smoothhound Sharks in the Northern Gulf of Mexico
- M. Giresi, R. D. Grubbs, D. S. Portnoy, W. Driggers, L. M. Jones, J. Gold
- Biology
- 3 November 2015
AbstractIdentification of sharks within the genus Mustelus (smoothhound sharks) is problematic because of extensive overlap in external morphology among species. Consequently, species-specific… Expand
A genetic linkage map of red drum, Sciaenops ocellatus.
- D. S. Portnoy, M. Renshaw, C. Hollenbeck, J. Gold
- Biology, Medicine
- Animal genetics
- 1 December 2010
Second-generation, sex-specific genetic linkage maps were generated for the economically important estuarine-dependent marine fish Sciaenops ocellatus (red drum). The maps were based on F(1) progeny… Expand
