Microsatellite length variation in candidate genes correlates with habitat in the gilthead sea bream Sparus aurata.

Abstract excerpt

The genetic basis and evolutionary implications of local adaptation in high gene flow marine organisms are still poorly understood. In several Mediterranean fish species, alternative migration patterns exist between individuals entering coastal lagoons that offer favourable conditions for growth and those staying in the sea where environmental conditions are less subject to rapid and stressful change. Whether...
