Many bivalvian mollusks have a sperm-transmitted mitochondrial genome (M), along with
the standard egg-transmitted one (F). The phenomenon, known as doubly uniparental …

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

Gaining new knowledge of the native distributions of species (phylogeography) is more and
more difficult in a world affected by anthropogenic disturbance, in particular by species …

Background Throughout the world, harvesting of mussels Mytilus spp. is based on the
exploitation of natural populations and aquaculture. Aquaculture activities include transfers …

The presence of doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI) in bivalves represents a unique mode
of mitochondrial transmission, whereby paternal (male-transmitted M-type) and maternal …

Human‐mediated biological transfers of species have substantially modified many
ecosystems with profound environmental and economic consequences. However, in many …

The novel machine learning technique Random Forest (RF) was used to test if the genetic
differentiation of populations of marine species may be related to any of the key …

The commercial mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis is invasive in the Southern Hemisphere
having a large impact on rocky shore communities. It recently appeared in the state of Santa …

The unusual mode of mitochondrial DNA inheritance, with two separate: maternal (F) and
paternal (M) lineages, gives unique opportunities to study the evolution of the mitochondrial …

Recombination in the control region (CR) of Mytilus mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was
originally reported based on the relatively short, sequenced fragments of mitochondrial …
