Between the current and the coast: genetic connectivity in the spiny lobster Panulirus homarus rubellus, despite potential barriers to gene flow

The spiny lobster *Panulirus homarus rubellus* is endemic to the Southwest Indian Ocean, where it inhabits a narrow continental shelf between an exposed coast and the upper reaches of the strong western-boundary Agulhas Current. Long-lived phyllosoma …

Seascape genetics of the spiny lobster Panulirus homarus in the Western Indian Ocean: Understanding how oceanographic features shape the genetic structure of species with high larval dispersal potential

This study examines the fine‐scale population genetic structure and phylogeography of the spiny lobster *Panulirus homarus* in the Western Indian Ocean. A seascape genetics approach was used to relate the observed genetic structure based on 21 …

A molecular phylogeny of the spiny lobster Panulirus homarus highlights a separately evolving lineage from the Southwest Indian Ocean

Accurate species description in the marine environment is critical for estimating biodiversity and identifying genetically distinct stocks. Analysis of molecular data can potentially improve species delimitations because they are easily generated and …
