Population structure in the American oyster as inferred by nuclear gene genealogies.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Feb 1998

Hare M P, Avise J C

Abstract excerpt

Multiple haplotypes from each of three nuclear loci were isolated and sequenced from geographic populations of the American oyster, Crassostrea virginica. In tests of alternative phylogeographic hypotheses for this species, nuclear gene genealogies constructed for these haplotypes were compared t...
