Phenotypic plasticity or speciation? A case from a clonal marine organism.

BMC evolutionary biology - 13 Feb 2008

Prada Carlos, Schizas Nikolaos V, Yoshioka Paul M

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Clonal marine organisms exhibit high levels of morphological variation. Morphological differences may be a response to environmental factors but also they can be attributed to accumulated genetic differences due to disruption of gene flow among populations. In this study, we examined the extensive morphological variation (of 14 characters) in natural populations observed in the gorgonian Eunicea...
