摘要
The genus Littorina has been subject to many studies of electrophoretically detectable variation, mostly aimed either at clarifying questions concerned with population structure, or at clarifying difficult taxonomic/systematic problems. This paper reviews many of these studies. Topics covered include Hardy-Weinberg deviations, the extent of genetic differentiation among populations within species, founder effects and the effects of human introductions on genetic variation, the biological significance of allozyme variation, and the uses of allozyme variation in Littorina systematics. © 1990 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
