Intensive efforts are underway to restore depleted stocks of Crassostrea virginica in
Chesapeake Bay. However, the extent of gene flow among local populations, an important …

The eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica Gmelin) is an economically and ecologically
valuable marine bivalve occurring in the Gulf of Mexico. This study builds upon previous …

Five new microsatellite markers were developed for the eastern oyster (Crassostrea
virginica), and allelic variability was compared between a wild Chesapeake Bay population …

Abstract Gulf of Mexico versus Atlantic populations of several coastal species in the
southeastern United States are known to differ sharply in genetic composition, but most …

Limited gene flow via the restricted dispersal of larvae and gametes is expected to result in
the genetic differentiation of populations of clonal invertebrates on small spatial scales …

The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique was used to examine the
genetic variability in eastern oysters from four wild-naturalized stocks (Wellfleet, Wareham …

Many cetaceans have a wide distribution in one or more oceans, and in some species,
individuals migrate over an extensive range. When breeding sites are geographically distant …

The understanding of genetic connectivity among populations is important for the
management of fisheries, particularly in overexploited benthic species such as the pink …

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 …

The Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas was, for decades, massively introduced to North
America from Japan and established large, self-recruiting populations in the Pacific …
