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.

Comparing predictions of alternative demographic models to the joint allele-frequency spectrum indicates that genomic islands of differentiation between sea bass lineages were generated by varying rates of introgression across the genome following a period of geographical isolation.

Support is provided for the panmixia hypothesis and the importance of temporal replication when assessing population structure of marine fish species is emphasized, as genetic variation among temporal samples within sites clearly exceeded the geographical component.
Modeling genetic connectivity in sticklebacks as a guideline for river restoration

The three‐spined stickleback was used to detect the geographical determinants of genetic connectivity in the eastern part of the Scheldt basin in Belgium, and Anthropogenic structures came out as the strongest determinant of population structure, when evaluated against a geographically well‐documented baseline model accounting for natural effects.
Gene-associated markers provide tools for tackling illegal fishing and false eco-certification.

By using gene-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms, individual marine fish can be assigned back to population of origin with unprecedented high levels of precision, and application of gene- associated markers will likely revolutionize origin assignment and become highly valuable tools for fighting illegal fishing and mislabelling worldwide.

Analysis of the genetic structure of European eel (Anguilla anguilla) using microsatellite DNA and mtDNA markers

- 1 October 2001
The paradigm that the European eel constitutes a panmictic population becomes difficult to maintain because of the weak differentiation typical for marine species and the limitations of the data, given the results should be interpreted with caution.

The objective of this work was to study the genetic diversity of the Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) in its native range, southern Africa, and provide a method for identifying hybrids with genetic markers.
