High gene flow and lack of genetic structure in the commercially important crab Cancer porteri (Brachyura: Cancridae) along 1,500 km of the Chilean coast revealed by SNP markers.

Abstract excerpt

Studying the distribution of genetic diversity and connectivity patterns is crucial for understanding the ecology of marine species and informing fisheries management decisions. Despite the heterogeneity of the Chilean coast, characterized by upwelling zones and biogeographical breaks, specific benthic species display high genetic homogeneity, likely due to high migratory flow facilitated by long planktonic...
