Topic 1: BIODIVERSITY AND CONSERVATION SCIENCE: CONTRIBUTING TO MANAGEMENT
Mediterranean transition, even if larvae have a short life. Probably this gene flow
climbs up to the end of the Messinian salinity crisis when, with the reopening of a
communication between Atlantic and Mediterranean, G. vitreus colonized the
Mediterranean basin from the Atlantic Ocean. Population genetic structure of
brachiopods has never been investigated so that the present work represents the first
genetic population study on brachiopods, based on specific genetic markers. Therefore,
comparisons with other similar works are not possible.
