… In this paper we describe a recent investigation of size-dependent allele frequency
variation in two hybrid mussel populations using five allozyme loci. For two of the loci, data
collected in 1980—81 is compared with data collected in 1986-87 allowing assessment of …
It thus appears that the hypothesis of an historical change can be rejected and that the size-dependent
genetic variation is best explained by differential growth or mortality. … In the present study
it would thus seem reasonable to suggest that any selective force causing the size …
Abstract
Samples from the high and low shore were taken from mussel populations at two localities. Croyde Bay and Whitsand Bay in southwest England, within the zone of hybridisation of Mytilus edulis and Mytilus galloprovincialis, and analysed at five polymorphic allozyme loci.
