Abstract excerpt
The highly heterogeneous Humboldt Current System (HCS) and the 30°S transition zone on the southeast Pacific coast, represent an ideal scenario to test the influence of the environment on the spatial genomic structure in marine near-shore benthic organisms. In this study, we used seascape genomic tools to evaluate the genetic structure of the commercially important ascidian Pyura chilensis, a species that...
