Identifying homologs is an important process in the analysis of genetic patterns underlying traits and evolutionary relationships among species. Analysis of gene families is often used to form and support hypotheses on genetic patterns such as gene presence, absence, or functional divergence which underlie traits examined in functional studies. These analyses often require precise identification of all members in a targeted ge...

Sea surface temperature (SST) has increased worldwide since the beginning of the 20th century, a trend which is expected to continue. Changes in SST can have significant impacts on marine biota, including population-level shifts and alterations in community structure and diversity, and changes in the timing of ecosystem events. Seagrasses are a group of foundation species that grow in shallow coastal and estuarine systems, whe...

Considerable numbers of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are captively produced then stocked into many wild aquatic systems in Western Australia despite a lack of understanding of their impact on the highly endemic native fish and freshwater crayfish of the region. The diet of an introduced, yet self‐sustaining population of O. mykiss was examined at Churchman Brook Reservoir in the Canning River Catchment, Western Australi...
