Paradigm shifts in marine fisheries genetics: ugly hypotheses slain by beautiful facts
Abstract By providing new approaches to the investigation of demographic and evolutionary dynamics of wild populations, molecular genetics has led to fundamental changes in our understanding of marine ecology. In particular, genetic approaches have revolutionized our understanding in three areas: (i...
