Climate-driven genetic divergence of limpets with different life histories across a southeast African marine biogeographic disjunction: different processes, same outcomePeter R Teske
Department of Zoology and Entomology, Rhodes University, Grahamstown 6140, South Africa
Mol Ecol 20:5025-41. 2011..These findings help explain why the presence or absence of phylogeographic breaks often appears to be independent of species' dispersal potential...
Climate change, genetics or human choice: why were the shells of mankind's earliest ornament larger in the pleistocene than in the holocene?Peter R Teske
Molecular Ecology and Systematics Group, Department of Botany, Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa
PLoS ONE 2:e614. 2007..These younger shells were significantly smaller, a phenomenon that has been attributed to a change in human preference...
Mitochondrial DNA paradox: sex-specific genetic structure in a marine mussel--despite maternal inheritance and passive dispersalPeter R Teske
Department of Zoology and Entomology, Rhodes University, Grahamstown 6140, South Africa
BMC Genet 13:45. 2012..When genetic structure is identified using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), but no structure is identified using biparentally-inherited nuclear DNA, the discordance is often attributed to differences in dispersal potential between the sexes...
Intron-spanning primers for the amplification of the nuclear ANT gene in decapod crustaceansPeter R Teske
Molecular Ecology Laboratory, Department of Biological Sciences, Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW 2109, Australia
Mol Ecol Resour 9:774-6. 2009..While the intron is suitable for phylogeographical/population genetic studies and to identify cryptic speciation, the second exon region is sufficiently long to provide signal at both the phylogeographical and phylogenetic levels...
Microsatellite markers for the roman, Chrysoblephus laticeps (Teleostei: Sparidae), an overexploited seabream from South AfricaPeter R Teske
Molecular Ecology Laboratory, Department of Biological Sciences, Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW 2109, Australia, South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity, Grahamstown 6140, South Africa, Department of Ichthyology and Fisheries Science, Rhodes University, Grahamstown 6140, South Africa
Mol Ecol Resour 9:1162-4. 2009..The markers will be useful to detect whether populations resident in MPAs along the South African coast are genetically connected, and whether there is spillover of recruits into adjacent exploited areas...
The evolutionary history of seahorses (Syngnathidae: Hippocampus): molecular data suggest a West Pacific origin and two invasions of the Atlantic OceanPeter R Teske
Zoology Department, University of Stellenbosch, Private Bag X1, 7602, Matieland, South Africa
Mol Phylogenet Evol 30:273-86. 2004..The phylogeny obtained herein suggests at least two independent colonization events of the Atlantic Ocean, once before the closure of the Tethyan seaway, and once afterwards...
