Ocean currents help explain population genetic structure
Management and conservation can be greatly informed by considering explicitly how environmental factors influence population genetic structure. Using simulated larval dispersal estimates based on ocean current observations, we demonstrate how explicit consideration of frequency of exchange of larvae among sites via ocean advection can fundamentally change the interpretation of empirical populat...
متن کاملSea surface currents and geographic isolation shape the genetic population structure of a coral reef fish in the Indian Ocean
In this contribution, we determine the genetic population structure in the Skunk Clownfish (Amphiprion akallopsisos) across the Indian Ocean, and on a smaller geographic scale in the Western Indian Ocean (WIO). Highly restricted gene flow was discovered between populations on either side of the Indian Ocean using the control region as a mitochondrial marker (mtDNA). We verify this conclusion us...
متن کاملPopulation Genetic Structure of Patagonian Toothfish in the West Indian Ocean Sector of the Southern Ocean
Molecular markers were used to investigate the stock structure of Patagonian toothfi sh (Dissostichus eleginoides) in the West Indian Ocean sector of the Southern Ocean. Four collections of D. eleginoides from Kerguelen (n = 1), Crozet (n = 1) and Prince Edward and Marion (n = 2) Islands were typed using two fragments of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and seven nuclear microsatellite loci. MtDNA hap...
متن کاملOcean Currents Modeling along the Iranian Coastline of the Oman Sea and the Northern Indian Ocean
The Makran Coast (Iranian Coastline of the Oman Sea on the Northern Indian Ocean) plays an important role in country’s future navigation and trade due to its accessibility. In 2014, the Iranian Makran coastline was selected by the PMO to be studied as the Phase 6 in the series of Monitoring and Modelling Studies of Iranian Coasts with all disciplines being in investigated including currents. Al...
متن کاملIndian Ocean Crossroads: Human Genetic Origin and Population Structure in the Maldives
The Maldives are an 850 km-long string of atolls located centrally in the northern Indian Ocean basin. Because of this geographic situation, the present-day Maldivian population has potential for uncovering genetic signatures of historic migration events in the region. We therefore studied autosomal DNA-, mitochondrial DNA-, and Y-chromosomal DNA markers in a representative sample of 141 unrela...
