Genetic homogeneity and weak signatures of local adaptation in the marine mussel Mytilus chilensis.

Abstract excerpt

The natural populations of the marine mussel Mytilus chilensis and the associated aquaculture industry forms a sensitive social-ecological system that relies on the released propagules for cultivation in the highly heterogeneous environment (temperature, productivity, and salinity) of northern Patagonia (42-44 °S). We assessed spatial genetic structure, signals of local adaptation, and population assignment of M....
