Abstract excerpt
In North America, the Atlantic-Gulf discontinuity depicts genetic breaks between populations distributed along the Florida peninsula. This study examines 83 specimens of E. spinulosus obtained from seven locations along the Florida coast to examine phylogeographic patterns, population structure and examine historical demographic patterns. Analyses of 511 bp from the cytochrome oxidase 1 (COI) mitochondrial gene...
