Genetic diversity and structure in Pelvetia fastigiata (Phaeophyta: Fucales) : does a small effective neighborhood size explain fine-scale genetic structure ?

Williams and Di Fiori examined the genetic diversity and genetic structure of southern California populations of the common intertidal fucoid seaweed Pelvetia fastigiata. The neighborhood size was in the small theoretical range in which genetic drift could be responsible for the within-reef genetic...
