Genetic variation of the shell morphology in Acanthina monodon (Gastropoda) in habitats with different wave exposure conditions

Shell morphology in marine gastropods exhibits high intraspecific variability. Plasticity appears to be the most common response; however, additive genetic variance would explain a significant amount of morphological variance promoting local adaptations. The marine gastropod Acanthina monodon is a d...
