Allozyme and mitochondrial DNA evidence of population subdivision in the purple sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus

The purple sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus was found to have significant genetic subdivision among locations, despite high potential for dispersal. Allozyme analyses revealed a genetic mosaic.
