Cryptic Lineage Differentiation Among Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) in the Northwest Indian Ocean (2017)
Journal Article
Gray, H., Nishida, S., Welch, A., Moura, A., Tanabe, S., Kiani, M., …Hoelzel, A. (2018). Cryptic Lineage Differentiation Among Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) in the Northwest Indian Ocean. Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 122, 1-14. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ympev.2017.12.027

Phylogeography can provide insight into the potential for speciation and identify geographic regions and evolutionary processes associated with species richness and evolutionary endemism. In the marine environment, highly mobile species sometimes sho...

Genetic diversity of bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops sp.) populations in the western North Pacific and the conservation implications (2017)
Journal Article
Chen, I., Nishida, S., Yang, W., Isobe, T., Tajima, Y., & Hoelzel, A. R. (2017). Genetic diversity of bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops sp.) populations in the western North Pacific and the conservation implications. Marine Biology, 164(10), Article 202. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00227-017-3232-8

The evolutionary processes that shape patterns of diversity in highly mobile marine species are poorly understood, but important towards transferable inference on their effective conservation. In this study, bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops sp.) are stu...

Biogeography and temporal progression during the evolution of striped dolphin population structure in European waters (2017)
Journal Article
Gkafas, G., Exadactylos, A., Rogan, E., Raga, J., Reid, R., & Hoelzel, A. (2017). Biogeography and temporal progression during the evolution of striped dolphin population structure in European waters. Journal of Biogeography, 44(12), 2681-2691. https://doi.org/10.1111/jbi.13079

Aim: We investigated the population genetic structure of a highly mobile marine species, the striped dolphin, Stenella coeruleoalba (Meyen, 1833), along a geographical range with habitat transitions and historical dynamics to identify the causes of g...

Ancient female philopatry, asymmetric male gene flow, and synchronous population expansion support the influence of climatic oscillations on the evolution of South American sea lion (Otaria flavescens) (2017)
Journal Article
Oliveira, L. R. D., Gehara, M. C., Fraga, L. D., Lopes, F., Túnez, J. I., Cassini, M. H., …Bonatto, S. L. (2017). Ancient female philopatry, asymmetric male gene flow, and synchronous population expansion support the influence of climatic oscillations on the evolution of South American sea lion (Otaria flavescens). PLoS ONE, 12(6), Article e0179442. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0179442

The South American sea lion (Otaria flavescens) is widely distributed along the southern Atlantic and Pacific coasts of South America with a history of significant commercial exploitation. We aimed to evaluate the population genetic structure and the...

Strong population structure in a species manipulated by humans since the Neolithic: The European fallow deer (Dama dama dama) (2017)
Journal Article
Baker, K., Gray, H., Ramovs, V., Mertzanidou, D., Akın Pekşen, Ç., Bilgin, C., …Hoelzel, A. (2017). Strong population structure in a species manipulated by humans since the Neolithic: The European fallow deer (Dama dama dama). Heredity, 119, 16-26. https://doi.org/10.1038/hdy.2017.11

Species that have been translocated and otherwise manipulated by humans may show patterns of population structure that reflect those interactions. At the same time, natural processes shape populations, including behavioural characteristics like dispe...
