Genetic Diversity and Dispersal Capabilities in Marine Fish

  • Chapter
Evolutionary Biology

Part of the book series: Evolutionary Biology ((EBIO,volume 30))

Abstract

Biodiversity among organisms stems from a combination of DNA sequence variation and adaptive response to the environment. Direct screening of DNA sequences has just started, whereas most of our knowledge of genetic variation comes from indirect examination of DNA through analysis of enzymatic proteins. During the last 25 years, this has been a popular technique for survey of genetic variability, with general agreement that the use of allozyme variation is a reliable tool to estimate levels of genetic variation with random samples of neutral genes.
