Evaluation of the Population Genetic Structure of <i>Anadara tuberculosa</i> (Mollusca, Bivalvia) in the Panamanian Pacific. [PDF]
Ecol EvolOur study analyzed the population genetics of Anadara tuberculosa (concha negra) in five Panamanian Pacific mangrove areas using the mitochondrial COI gene. We found high haplotypic diversity and low nucleotide diversity, a pattern that suggests a recent demographic expansion, which was supported by our neutrality tests and a star‐shaped haplotype ...
