Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Identifying significant adaptive variation within species is a key focus of efforts to preserve evolutionary potential under environmental change. We analysed genome-wide SNPs and ecomorphological traits to define units for the conservation of Aipysurus sea snakes. This group contains nine fully-marine taxa that are primarily endemic to the northern Australian region, including two critically...
