Abstract excerpt
The population genetics of aquatic animals in the Florida Everglades may be strongly influenced by extinction and colonization dynamics. We combined analyses of allozyme and microsatellite loci to test the hypothesis that two levels of population structure are present for spotted sunfish (Pisces: Centrarchidae: Lepomis punctatus) inhabiting the Everglades. We hypothesized that annual cycles of marsh dry-down...
