The Leafy Seadragon, Phycodurus eques, a Flagship Species with Low But Structured Genetic Variability.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Mar 2017

Abstract excerpt

The leafy seadragon (Phycodurus eques, Syngnathidae), is a charismatic endemic of Australia’s temperate coast. The species exhibits remarkable camouflage in its kelp and seagrass habitat. These habitats have been retreating throughout the range of the species, leading to concerns about the persistence of leafy seadragons. Despite being a popular aquarium display and a flagship for coastal conservation, little is...
