The paper uses whole-genome sequencing to analyze population structure in Pisaster ochraceus, finding significant genetic divergence between Salish Sea and Pacific outer coast populations.

This study examines genome evolution in the Pacific acorn barnacle, showing high polymorphism and evidence of positive selection in large populations.

The paper investigates whether pigments contribute to light color variation in fireflies, finding that ommochrome and pterin pigments may filter luciferase light but no significant gene expression differences were found between color variants.

The paper investigates genotypic diversity in the amylase gene of Geukensia demissa, finding that allele frequencies vary along the Atlantic coast, suggesting a single Mendelian locus with ecological significance.

The paper quantifies genetic diversity across 93 marine species and finds that range size and planktonic dispersal correlate with higher genetic diversity.
