Abstract excerpt
Understanding the origin and maintenance of genetic diversity in the oceanic realm is difficult because barriers to gene flow are far less obvious in marine compared to terrestrial species. This is particularly so for planktonic species such as euphausiids, with no fossil record and high rates of dispersal, and in which paleobiology and evolutionary history remains largely obscure. Population genetics may play an...
