Abstract excerpt
How species disperse and have dispersed is a central question in biology, as it governs patterns of genetic isolation and is a key driver of evolutionary processes. Over 600 hydrothermal vents worldwide are grouped into more than 10 biogeographic provinces, but even within each province, the dispersal barriers remain poorly understood. The scaly-foot snail (Chrysomallon squamiferum) is an iconic species with...
