| Notes | In the summer of 2009, the author did genetic sampling on 20-25 crabs at each of 14 locations along the U.S. West Coast, from Iceberg Bay, British Columbia to San Luis Obispo, California. Both mitochondrial DNA and microsatellite nuclear markers were sampled. “The objective of this study was to investigate the genetic connectivity of Dungeness crab between central California and northern British Columbia using both mitochondrial DNA and nuclear markers (microsatellites). We sampled adult Dungeness crab across ~2500 km of the Pacific coastline to test for signals of population substructure and limitations to gene flow across the ecological range.” (p.3) |
