Abstract excerpt
Understanding the ecological processes that shape spatial genetic patterns of population structure is critical for understanding evolutionary dynamics and defining significant evolutionary and management units in the deep sea. Here, the role of environmental factors (topographic, physico-chemical and biological) in shaping the population genetic structure of four deep-sea habitat-forming species (one sponge -...
