About

Since this century, with the help of protection, the extinction of many terrestrial organisms has been slowed down. However, aquatic organisms, such as corals, fish and other aquatic species, are still not optimistic. Many aquatic creatures are facing climatic change, over-fishing, habitat elimination and fragmentation, and introduced species. To achieve aquatic protection, understanding the evolutionary context of the species is one of the key concerns for the development of conservation management strategies. The variations from the genomes could provide predictions about the history and status of examined species and future effects.

This collection focuses on studies that used different genetic markers to interpret aquatic species' population structures, phylogeography, or evolutionary processes. The outcomes of studies could directly provide suggestions or implements for conservation.

Papers can focus on population differentiation, spatial connectivity and evolutionary dispersal. Therefore, we seek submissions that cover a range of spatial scales—from local to global.
