Abstract

Morphological and molecular differentiation of western and eastern North Atlantic brachiopods were examined by morphometric analysis of six shell characteristics (<i>n</i>= 144), allozyme electrophoresis at six nuclear gene loci (<i>n</i>= 485), and estimation of nucleotide difference by digestion of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) with nine restriction endonucleases (<i>n</i>= 96).
