Guiding marine protected area network design with comparative phylogeography and population genomics: An exemplary case from the Southern Ocean
Abstract Aim Networks of connected marine protected areas (MPAn) are recognized as the key area‐based management tool to preserve biodiversity, moderate exploitation of marine resources and increase ecological resilience to climate change. Although population genetic studies could greatly benefit co...
