Population genetic structure and its implications for adaptive differentiation in Provanna glabra from deep-sea hydrothermal vent and methane seep environments of the Northwest Pacific Ocean
The snail Provanna glabra is a dominant species inhabiting both hydrothermal vents and cold seeps of the Northwest Pacific Ocean. The genetic diversity and structure of the snail populations from hydrothermal vents of Okinawa Through and a methane seep in the South China Sea were investigated using mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and genome-wide SNPs.
