Effect of pollution on genetic diversity in the bay mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the acorn barnacle Balanus glandula.

Marine environmental research - 1 Jan 2000

Ma X L, Cowles D L, Carter R L

Abstract excerpt

To test if environmental contamination acts as a selection force affecting genetic diversity at the population level, two intertidal invertebrate species, Mytilus galloprovincialis and Balanus glandula, were collected from seven different bay sites in southern California. Collections were made at three relatively pristine 'clean' sites and four 'impacted' sites exposed to heavy industrial or boating activity, and...
