Abstract:Gene flow is a crucial concept in the delineation of conservation units for natural populations of a species. Seagrasses are marine species targeted for conservation because their abundance has declined worldwide during the last century. However, we cannot determine how to delineate conservation units with inadequate knowledge of the genetic structure of seagrasses. This study explored the genetic structure of Zostera marina L. (eelgrass) populations in three semi-enclosed areas using single nucleotide polymor… Show more
