Phylogeography and population genetics of a headwater-stream adapted crayfish, Cambarus pristinus (Decapoda: Cambaridae), from the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee
Abstract:Assessments of genetic diversity for imperiled species can provide a baseline for determining the relative impacts of contemporary anthropogenic threats (e.g., habitat fragmentation) on population connectivity and identifying historical factors contributing to population structure. We conducted a population genetics and phylogeographic assessment of the imperiled Pristine Cray sh (Cambarus pristinus) sampled throughout its range encompassing two morphologically distinct forms. Pristine Cray sh exhibit a disjun… Show more
