Consequences of marine barriers for genetic diversity of the coral-specialist yellowbar angelfish from the Northwestern Indian Ocean
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Ocean circulation, geological history, geographic distance, and seascape heterogeneity play an important role in phylogeography of coral‐dependent fishes. Here, we investigate potential genetic population structure within ...
Global change effects on plant communities are magnified by time and the number of global change factors imposed
(
National Academy of Sciences
, 2019 , Article)
Global change drivers (GCDs) are expected to alter community structure and consequently, the services that ecosystems provide. Yet, few experimental investigations have examined effects of GCDs on plant community structure ...

Extreme value analysis of wave climate around Farasan Islands, southern Red Sea
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
The study investigates extreme value analysis of wave climate around the Farasan islands’ protected coastal zone in the southern Red Sea. It provides an overall idea of the extreme wave conditions in the southern Red Sea, ...
Using vertebrate environmental DNA from seawater in biomonitoring of marine habitats
(
Wiley
, 2019 , Article)
Conservation and management of marine biodiversity depends on biomonitoring of marine habitats, but current approaches are resource‐intensive and require different approaches for different organisms. Environmental DNA ...
