Genetic variation for shell traits in a direct-developing marine snail involved in a putative sympatric ecological speciation process

Populations of the marine gastropod Littorina saxatilis from exposed rocky shores of NW Spain provide one of the few putative cases of sympatric ecological speciation. Two ecotypes with large differences in shell morphology and strong assortative mating are living at different vertical levels of the...
