Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Understanding the mechanisms behind genetic diversity distribution is one of the many goals of the population genetics field. Investigation of geographical barriers, the role of bionomic traits and local adaptation to determine the spatial patterns of population genetic variability has been especially challenging in marine invertebrate populations. Approaches such as phylogeography and seascape genetics integrate physical oceanography, spatial statistics, bionomics and genetic diversity, among others, to quantify the landscape framework effect on gene flow and estimate the connectivity among populations and historical demography. This Special Issue will assemble articles on population-level component diversity under the title "Population Genetics and Evolution of Marine Invertebrates". Articles are expected to cover a broad range of marine invertebrate species living in all types of marine ecosystems.
This Special Issue of Genes aims to address a range of relevant topics in marine population genetics such as the genetic diversity and evolutionary biology of marine populations, as well the relationships between population genetic diversity and geographical and environmental composition.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Genes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
