Salinity Driven Selection and Local Adaptation in Baltic Sea Mytilid Mussels

Salinity Driven Selection and Local Adaptation in Baltic Sea Mytilid Mussels

Baltic blue mussels can colonise and dominate habitats with far lower salinity (<10 psu) than other Mytilus congeners. Pervasive gene flow was observed between Western Baltic Mytilus edulis living at high salinity conditions and Eastern Baltic M. trossulus living at lower salinites, with high...
