| The taxonomic status of the Portuguese oyster Crassostrea angulata and the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas has often been a matter of controversy. Based on larval shell morphology, experimental hybridisation and electrophoretic studies of enzyme polymorphism several authors have considered these two species as being synonymous. During the recent years, several genetic studies based on mitochondrial DNA and microsatellites data have provided evidences that the two taxa are genetically distinct although closely related. Furthermore, karyotype analyses have also highlighted the close genetic similarity of these taxa in comparison with other cupped oyster species. However, a comparative analysis of restriction enzymes ideograms revealed differences between... |

| The correspondence between allozymic variation and specific differentiation was studied in four populations corresponding to the three nominal, allopatric species of clam genus Eurhomalea (E. rufa, E. lenticularis, E. exalbida) described for southern South America. Allozyme variation scored in 12 loci was high as indicated by heterozygosity levels (15.8-20.7 %) and by the presence of only three monomorphic loci (Hk-2, Icd-2, and Xdh-1). These high estimates of allelic variability were influenced by the low levels of interspecific genetic similarity (I = 0.64) and for the high conspecific values of genetic identity observed. The high estimates of substructuring found at the species level (F ST = 0.39) contrasted with the low differentiation (F ST = 0.027)... |
