Selective breeding has been successfully applied to improve profitability and sustainability
in numerous aquatic species. Recent developments of high throughput genotyping …

Seafood is an important source of high quality animal protein. As the result of rapid growth of
global population in the past 50 years, bivalve farming has played an increasingly important …

Invasive non-native species and global warming are two of the greatest components of
global ecosystem change. The Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, is the world most cultivated …

Correct species identification is fundamental for assessment and understanding of
biodiversity. Erroneous species identification may impede conservation management and …

The description of the genus Magallana provoked taxonomic 'revision shock'among Bayne
and colleagues, who criticised:(1) the supporting evidence for this taxonomic change,(2) the …

A large number of species and taxa have been studied for genetic polymorphism.
Microsatellites have been known as hypervariable neutral molecular markers with the …

The identification of native sources and vectors of introduced species informs their
ecological and evolutionary history and may guide policies that seek to prevent future …

This research presents the invasion history as well as an up-to-date distribution of the Pacific
oyster Magallana gigas in European coastal waters, concluding that this invasive species …

Abstract Analysis of population genetics provides insights into the evolutionary processes,
among which the sample size choice is per se a crucial issue in the analysis. Genome‐wide …

Finding optimal sample sizes is critical for the accurate estimation of genetic diversity of
large invasive populations. Based on previous studies, we hypothesized that a minimal …
