Genomics Reveals Recent Rapid Speciation of Sea Snakes of the Genus <i>Hydrophis</i> (Reptilia, Squamata, Elapidae). [PDF]
Ecol EvolUnderstanding the mechanisms of speciation in the open ocean, where few obvious geographic barriers exist, is an important question in ecology. Marine amniotes are an ideal model for studying speciation in the ocean because monophyly is ensured in many ...
