Abstract excerpt
Speciation in the open ocean has long been studied, but it remains largely elusive what factors promote or inhibit speciation in such an open environment. Marine amniotes, which evolved from terrestrial ancestors, provide valuable opportunities for studying speciation in the ocean because of their evident aquatic origins. Sea snakes are phylogenetically related to terrestrial elapid snakes and consist of two...
