Abstract excerpt
In polytypic Idotea chelipes species, the slow esterase constitutes a subspecific biochemical marker which discriminates, without ambiguity, each of three subspecies. Amylase 2 is a diagnostic locus which separates I. chelipes bocqueti from the two other subspecies where each is characterized by particular frequencies of the most frequent allele. The analysed electrophoretic zymogram and the intersubspecific...
