Article Synopsis
- Researchers studied the genetic variation and population structure of hair crabs (Erimacrus isenbeckii) by analyzing a segment of the mitochondrial COI gene from 20 samples collected across Japan and Korea.
- They identified 27 different haplotypes based on 23 variable nucleotide sites and found significant genetic differences between samples from the Pacific Ocean near Hokkaido and the Sea of Japan.
- The findings indicate a moderate population structure for hair crabs, likely affected by high gene flow from larval dispersal influenced by sea currents.
