An experimental test of optimal outbreeding in the harpacticoid copepod Tigriopus californicus (Baker)

Creator:

Brown, Alice F.

Abstract:

Hypotheses concerning relative costs of inbreeding and outbreeding were evaluated for the harpacticoid copepod Tigriopus californicus, which inhabits high intertidal tidepools. Field studies indicate high variation in biotic and abiotic parameters among pools. These findings coupled with previous information about very low dispersal rates and local adaptations to individual pools...
