Download AEBR 172 Genetic Connectivity Amongst New Zealand’s Open Sandy Shore and Estuarine Coastal Taxa

Summarises the findings of research conducted to quantify patterns of genetic structure and rates of genetic connectivity amongst populations of five New Zealand coastal marine species and to identify the location of likely barriers to connectivity. At the species level this information may contribute to sustainable management of these species, and contribute to a growing body of literature on patterns of genetic population structure and connectivity in the New Zealand marine environment.
