The paper uses genetic data and ecological models to infer that canopy-forming kelps in the Northeast Pacific survived in northern refugia during the Last Glacial Maximum.

This study uses whole-genome sequencing to show genetic disjunction and divergence in the bat star Patiria miniata despite its long-lived planktonic larvae, suggesting recent ecological or oceanographic barriers.

This study identifies heat-resistant coral populations in Belize to guide conservation and restoration efforts under climate change.

This study evaluates how marine protected area (MPA) network design affects coral adaptive potential by simulating eco-evolutionary processes under climate change scenarios.

The paper identifies SNVs in coral sperm and somatic tissue, suggesting lifelong stem cell renewal and lineage selection in corals.

The paper investigates mechanisms of ecological divergence with gene flow in corals by combining genomic, transcriptomic, and symbiont analyses to understand adaptation to environmental stress.

This paper develops a cost-effective genotyping method using low-quality DNA samples for conservation applications, demonstrating its utility in identifying tigers and tracking conch trade.

The paper analyzes shark fin samples using DNA sequencing to assess species composition, trade patterns, and conservation status, finding a high proportion of CITES-listed and threatened species.
