Abstract excerpt

Intron-size variation at the actin gene locus mac-1 was used to characterize mussel, Mytilus spp., populations in the approximately 2000-km wide zone of contact and hybridization ('hybrid zone') between M. edulis and M. galloprovincialis in western Europe. Twenty-five samples were collected in 1995-99 in locations within the hybrid zone and from reference populations of each species. We used correspondence...
