Yeşerin Yıldırım, Marti Jane Anderson, Bengt Hansson…·Paul B. Rainey
The paper investigates the genetic structure of Pleurobranchaea maculata in New Zealand, finding significant microsatellite differentiation between northern and southern populations linked to tetrodotoxin levels, while mtDNA shows a star-shaped haplotype network suggesting a Pleistocene population expansion.
