Environmental heterogeneity and balancing selection in the acorn barnacle Semibalanus balanoides.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Feb 2000

Schmidt P S, Bertness M D, Rand D M

Abstract excerpt

The northern acorn barnacle Semibalans banlanoides occupies several intertidal microhabitats which vary greatly in their degree of physical stress. This environmental heterogeneity creates distinct selection regimes which can maintain genetic variation in natural populations. Despite considerable attention placed on the link between spatial variation in fitness and balancing selection at specific loci,...
