Morphometric Characterization of a <i>Mercenaria</i> spp. (Bivalvia) Hybrid Zone: Paleontological and Evolutionary Implications

Paleontological documentation of hybridization events has the potential to address a multitude of evolutionary and paleobiological issues unanswerable by purely biological means. However, previous studies of modern hybrids suggest that their morphology is often insufficient for their reliable discr...
