Dispersal shapes population stability and evolutionary potential, yet linking larval traits to gene flow in marine species remains challenging. A study examined 10 coastal species with varying pelagic larval durations (PLD), using consistent sampling and genetic data (ddRAD, microsatellites) (1/2)

A drought nearly wiped out a protected population of unarmoured stickleback. Their numbers recovered, but their defining trait didn't: unarmoured fish went from 51% to ~15%. Conservation must protect the traits that make populations unique, not just their existence 🐟

Delineation of conservation units and assessments of pop. vulnerability are key to protection of intraspecific diversity. A new study shows why multiple vulnerability measures and accounting for high levels of population differentiation are key to Arctic charr conservation 🐟 @thefentagon.bsky.social
