Abstract excerpt
Because ocean environments often lack clear barriers to dispersal, cryptobenthic reef fishes, with their limited mobility, are ideal for uncovering spatial patterns of evolutionary divergence. We conducted a comparative phylogeographic study of 23 of the 25 known species in the cryptobenthic genus Malacoctenus, integrating genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms (>500 individuals), geometric morphometrics and...
