Variation in strength of attachment to the substrate explains differential mortality in hybrid mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis and M. edulis) populations

Variation in strength of attachment to the substrate explains differential mortality in hybrid mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis and M. edulis) populations

The findings of a study of mussel samples collected from a hybrid mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis and M. edulis) suggest an adaptive difference that can account for reports of differential mortality acting in favor of Mytilus galloprovincialis.
