Metapopulation structure of Intertidal Invertebrates

We have collected about 30 species of intertidal invertebrates, including California Mussels (Mytilus californianus), limpets (Lottia spp.) and barnacles (Pollicipes polymerus, Balanus glandula) from throughout their range along the west coast of North America (from Alaska to Baja California) with permits from appropriate state authorities. We are sequencing their mitochondrial DNA and genomic DNA strictly for use in population genetic models that will help us understand how far their larvae disperse, and how their populations are structured. We hope that this information will help indigenous peoples and governments to protect and manage their intertidal habitat.

The BC (Biocultural) Notice is a visible notification that there are accompanying cultural rights and responsibilities that need further attention for any future sharing and use of this material or data. The BC Notice recognizes the rights of Indigenous peoples to permission the use of information, collections, data and digital sequence information (DSI) generated from the biodiversity or genetic resources associated with traditional lands, waters, and territories. The BC Notice may indicate that BC Labels are in development and their implementation is being negotiated.
