The genus Gammarus (Amphipoda) is one of the most speciose genera of Crustacea, yet much uncertainty remains concerning taxonomy and systematic relationships, particularly for brackish and marine forms. We used DNA barcode sequences from the mitochon... Read More about Probing marine Gammarus (Amphipoda) taxonomy with DNA barcodes.

ife in the sub-zero temperatures of the Southern Ocean requires special adaptation to extreme cold, and the notothenioid fish radiation—which dominates the biomass and species diversity of Antarctic fish—has provided textbook examples of molecular ev...

To investigate the molecular basis of temperature adaptation in natural populations we used the candidate gene approach, targeting the myosin heavy chain (MyHC) gene. The functional effects of genetic variation in MyHC have been well characterised, a...
