Abstract excerpt
The ecologically diverse and species-rich rockfishes (Sebastes) are a useful group for the study of marine speciation. The monophyly of the genus is generally accepted, as is the validity of most of the numerous species found along the West Coast of North America. However, the subgeneric groupings that would help in the proposal and interpretation of various speciation schemes are poorly supported based on widely...
