Abstract excerpt
During the past three decades, North Atlantic populations of dogwhelks have been severely reduced in numbers, due to imposex and female sterility caused by TBT. We examined the relationship between the known history of female sterility and the present genetic diversity (measured by five allozyme-loci) and phenotypic variance (measured by nine quantitative characters) in six populations of Nucella lapillus along...
