Abstract excerpt
The Pacific cupped oyster is genetically subdivided into two sister taxa, Crassostrea gigas and Crassostrea angulata, which are in contact in the north-western Pacific. The nature and origin of their genetic and taxonomic differentiation remains controversial due the lack of known reproductive barriers and the high degree of morphologic similarity. In particular, whether the presence of ecological and/or...
