Klappentext This book offers practical insights for the study of intraspecific genetic variation in crustaceans. Combining theory and case studies, it helps researchers select methods of analysis and interpret their results. The theory chapters discuss the potential of currently used and upcoming molecular markers in the context of marine non-model species. Case studies of marine and limnic crustaceans highlight the importance and diversity of sources of population structure in intraspecific variation. Throughout, the book showcases the use and analysis of molecular markers, including mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequence data, coding and non-coding sequences, microsatellites, and cytogenetics.

Carcinologists and other organismal biologists, who want to use molecular tools to investigate patterns on the scale of populations, face a bewildering variety of genetic markers, analytical methods, and computer programs from which to choose. A modern overview of population genetic and phylogeographic studies, Phylogeography and Population Genetics in Crustacea offers insi...
