Article Synopsis
- The study examines how historical and contemporary climate changes have influenced the genetic structure of Heleobia ascotanensis, a freshwater snail endemic to the Ascotán Saltpan in South America.
- When analyzing mitochondrial sequences, researchers found diverse haplotypes indicating past population expansions during significant wet events in the Pleistocene, while current population structure appears more fragmented due to geographic barriers.
- Morphometric analyses revealed that more isolated populations exhibit significant morphological differences, suggesting that both genetic and physical traits have diverged due to limited gene flow in contemporary times.
