Oceanographic currents, geographic patterns and local environment contribute to neutral and adaptive genetic structure in two intertidal marine gastropods with contrasting life-histories
Global climate change is exposing intertidal organisms to increasing air and sea temperatures and changing ocean currents, affecting their ability to disperse, survive and reproduce, and resulting in shifts in their distribution and abundance.
