Meeting Abstract S7.6  Thursday, Jan. 6  The ecogeography of brown shrimp Crangon crangon CAMPOS, Joana; University of Porto joanavilhena@gmail.com In all European shallow coastal waters, from the White Sea to Morocco within the Atlantic and throughout the Mediterranean and Black Seas, brown shrimp Crangon crangon is consistently very abundant. It thus plays a relevant role in the […]

Meeting Abstract S7.3  Thursday, Jan. 6  The Genetics of Habitat Transitions: Lessons from Invasion Biology CRISTESCU, Melania E; University of Windsor mcris@uwindsor.ca Many invasive aquatic species are undergoing rapid range expansions accompanied by dramatic habitat transitions (e.g., marine to freshwater, ephemeral ponds to permanent lakes). These invasive taxa present outstanding opportunities to study past and present colonization […]

Meeting Abstract S7.5  Thursday, Jan. 6  Population differentiation in the open sea GOETZE, Erica; University of Hawaii at Manoa egoetze@hawaii.edu Marine zooplankton were long thought to be ‘high gene-flow’ systems with little genetic differentiation among populations, due to large census population sizes and an absence of observable barriers in the open sea. Early genetic studies of oceanic […]
