Phenotypic differences may limit the potential for habitat restoration involving species translocation: a case study of shape ecophenotypes in different populations of Modiolus modiolus (Mollusca: Bivalvia)
Abstract Modiolus modiolus reefs have disappeared from most of their historical distribution range in Strangford Lough (Northern Ireland) while remnant populations are highly fragmented. This study investigated morphological differences in Strangford Lough and Irish Sea M . modiolus with an aim to p...
