DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION OF MICROSATELLITES IN CARCINUS MAENAS: GENETIC DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN NORTHERN AND CENTRAL PORTUGUESE POPULATIONS.

Development and application of microsatellites in Carcinus maenas: genetic differentiation between Northern and Central Portuguese populations.

Carcinus maenas, the common shore crab of European coastal waters, has recently gained notoriety due to its globally invasive nature associated with drastic ecological and economic effects.The native ubiquity and worldwide importance of C.maenas has resulted in it becoming one of the best-studied estuarine crustacean species globally.Accordingly, t
