How to Use Genetic Data to Distinguish Between Natural and Human-Mediated Introduction of Littorina littorea to North America

2008-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The rapid range southward expansion of the periwinkle Littorina littorea from the Canadian maritimes has fueled a long-running debate over whether this species was introduced to North America by human activity. A reappraisal of the mitochondrial DNA sequence evidence finds considerable endemic allelic diversity in the American population. The degree of endemic genetic diversity is higher than expected from human-m...
