Small-scale population genetic structure of the sand bubbler crab Scopimera ryukyuensis in the Ryukyu Islands, Japan.

Abstract excerpt

Generally, the gene flow of marine organisms is well maintained, but some local populations of coastal species are genetically differentiated even on a small scale (genetic patchiness). Small-scale isolation can be crucial for understanding genetic diversity within a species. The present study examined the population genetic structure of the sand bubbler crab Scopimera ryukyuensis, which is endemic to the Ryukyu...
