Gene flow in east antarctic echinoderms and resilience to climate change
thesis
posted on 2012-08-01, 00:00 authored by J van OosteromThe spatial scales of population genetic structure in three species of Antarctic echinoderm, Sterechinus neumayeri, Abatus nimrodi and Abatus ingens was quantified using mitochondrial sequences and a novel set of microsatellite markers. Reduced fertilisation success in S. neumayeri resulting from increasing temperature and decreasing salinity was also identified.
