Ongoing concerns about the impact of climate change on Australia’s oceans has driven a request from fisheries managers for improved science communication to the seafood sector. Despite these concerns, translating climate science into management and industry action at regional and sectoral scales remains a challenge. We developed a reporting structure for communicating climate and ecosystem status to fisheries management, indus...

Background The Cape sea urchin, Parechinus angulosus , is a widely distributed keystone species that inhabits intertidal and subtidal ecosystems along the South African coastline. Despite its importance as an ecosystem engineer, its phylogenetic placement and mitochondrial genomic (hereafter mitogenome) variation remain poorly understood. In the current study, we present the first complete mitogenome for this species, assemble...

Genomic methods have shown that admixture and introgression are common across animal taxa. Pacific rockfishes, genus Sebastes , are a group of commercially important species that primarily inhabit inshore, shelf and slope habitats along the North American west coast. Among these, Copper and Quillback Rockfishes are closely related species known to hybridize, particularly within the Salish Sea in North America's Pacific Northwe...
