Is there a geographic pattern in the breeding system of a complex of hermaphroditic slugs (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Carinarion)?

Article Abstract:

Allozyme electrophoresis was used to investigate the population genetic structure of three species of hermaphroditic slugs in a section of their native European distribution. Findings show the previously reported species-specific allozyme markers are not valid if populations from central Europe are investigated. Data suggest a geographical pattern in the prevalence of outcrossing.

The impact of habitat fragmentation and social structure on the population genetics of roe deer (Capreolus capreolous L.) in Central Europe

Article Abstract:

Population genetics of roe deer in Central Europe are discussed relative to the impact of habitat fragmentation and social structure. Allozymes and microsatellites and their usefulness for population genetic studies in cervids are compared.

Congruence between allozyme and RAPD data in assessing macrogeographical genetic variation in the periwinkle Littorina striata (Mollusca, Gastropoda)

Article Abstract:

Random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis, or RAPD, of the population genetic structure of planktonic-developing periwinkle showed significant similarity between frequency and heterozygosity levels. The high congruence between RAPD and allozyme data suggest varied shell morphs and geographically separated populations share a common gene pool.
