Ocean Currents Keep Diverse European Amphioxus Genetically United
Original: Ocean Currents Keep the Highly Diverse European Amphioxus Genetically United
European amphioxus, a small marine chordate prized in evolutionary studies, shows high genetic diversity across its range yet remains a single connected population, and ocean currents are credited with linking distant populations and dispersing larvae widely enough to prevent genetic isolation. The finding highlights how physical oceanography shapes genetic structure in widely distributed marine species.
Why now: New research is circulating on how ocean currents maintain genetic connectivity among European amphioxus populations.
