Phylogeography of a pan-Atlantic abyssal protobranch bivalve: implications for evolution in the Deep AtlanticRon J Etter
Biology Department, University of Massachusetts, Boston, MA 02125, USA
Mol Ecol 20:829-43. 2011..Our results indicate that abyssal populations might be quite large (cosmopolitan), exhibit only modest genetic structure and probably provide little potential for the formation of new species...

Department of Biology, University of Massachusetts, Boston, 02125, USA
Mol Ecol 15:639-51. 2006..Broadly distributed deep-sea organisms can possess highly genetically divergent populations, despite the lack of any morphological divergence...
Shading facilitates sessile invertebrate dominance in the rocky subtidal Gulf of MaineRobert J Miller
Biology Department, University of Massachusetts Boston, Boston, Massachusetts 02125, USA
Ecology 89:452-62. 2008..These results suggest that light plays a key role in controlling the structure, composition, and function of shallow subtidal communities...

Department of Biology, University of Massachusetts, Boston, Massachusetts 02125, USA
Am Nat 165:163-78. 2005..The abyss, which is the largest marine benthic environment, may afford more limited ecological and evolutionary opportunity than the bathyal zone...
