Dascyllus abudafur ddRAD next generation Illumina sequencing

Discerning when, where, and how processes of isolation lead to differing biogeography is especially complex for marine species with similar ecological niches and within the same geographic location. We assessed population genetics using RADseq derived SNPs to investigate key differences in population genetics between two congeneric and ecologically similar damselfishes (Dascyllus abudafur vs. D. marginatus) within their overlapping distributions and across potential barriers to geneflow.
