Analysis of molecular variance inferred from metric distances among DNA haplotypes: application to human mitochondrial DNA restriction data.
- L. Excoffier, P. Smouse, J. Quattro
- Biology, Medicine
- Genetics
- 30 May 1992
We present here a framework for the study of molecular variation within a single species. Information on DNA haplotype divergence is incorporated into an analysis of variance format, derived from a… Expand
Universal cytochrome b primers facilitate intraspecific studies in molluscan taxa.
- T. J. Merritt, L. Shi, M. C. Chase, M. Rex, R. Etter, J. Quattro
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular marine biology and biotechnology
- 1 March 1998
We describe the construction of amplification primers designed to target a portion of the mitochondrial cytochrome b locus in a variety of molluscan taxa. Combinations of two sets of primers… Expand
Genetic evidence of cryptic speciation within hammerhead sharks (Genus Sphyrna)
- J. Quattro, D. S. Stoner, +6 authors J. Grady
- Biology
- 1 March 2006
Surveys of genetic variation within cosmopolitan marine species often uncover deep divergences, indicating historical separation and potentially cryptic speciation. Based on broad geographic (coastal… Expand
Molecular Analysis of Diazotroph Diversity in the Rhizosphere of the Smooth Cordgrass, Spartina alterniflora
- C. Lovell, Y. Piceno, J. Quattro, C. Bagwell
- Biology, Medicine
- Applied and Environmental Microbiology
- 1 September 2000
ABSTRACT N2 fixation by diazotrophic bacteria associated with the roots of the smooth cordgrass, Spartina alterniflora, is an important source of new nitrogen in many salt marsh ecosystems. However,… Expand
POPULATION DIFFERENTIATION DECREASES WITH DEPTH IN DEEP‐SEA BIVALVES
- R. Etter, M. Rex, M. Chase, J. Quattro

- Evolution; international journal of organic…
- 1 July 2005
Abstract The deep sea is the largest ecosystem on Earth. Recent exploration has revealed that it supports a highly diverse and endemic benthic invertebrate fauna, yet the evolutionary processes that… Expand
Fitness differences among remnant populations of the endangered sonoran topminnow.
- J. Quattro, R. Vrijenhoek
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 1 September 1989
Four correlates of fitness were measured in three stocks of the endangered Sonoran topminnow, Poeciliopsis occidentalis, from Arizona. Survival, growth, early fecundity, and developmental stability… Expand
Analyses of Nuclear ldhA Gene and mtDNA Control Region Sequences of Atlantic Northern Bluefin Tuna Populations
- B. Ely, D. S. Stoner, +10 authors J. Quattro
- Biology, Medicine
- Marine Biotechnology
- 1 December 2002
There has been considerable debate about whether the Atlantic northern bluefin tuna exist as a single panmictic unit. We have addressed this issue by examining both mitochondrial DNA control region… Expand
Highly polymorphic microsatellite loci in the colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri.
- D. S. Stoner, J. Quattro, I. Weissman
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular marine biology and biotechnology
- 1 September 1997
Five mircosatellite loci are characterized for the colonial ascidian Botryllus schlosseri. Within one population from Monterey, California, these loci have 3 to 17 alleles, observed heterozygosities… Expand
Bathymetric patterns of genetic variation in a deep-sea protobranch bivalve, Deminucula atacellana
- M. Chase, R. Etter, M. Rex, J. Quattro
- Biology
- 1998
Abstract The origin of the deep-sea benthic fauna is poorly understood and represents an enormous gap in our understanding of basic evolutionary phenomena. One obstacle to studying evolutionary… Expand
Observations of a Feeding Aggregation of Whale Sharks, Rhincodon typus, in the North Central Gulf of Mexico
- E. Hoffmayer, J. Franks, W. Driggers, K. Oswald, J. Quattro
- Biology
- 2007
On 26 June 2006 an aggregation of 16 whale sharks was observed for a period of 4 hr in the north central Gulf of Mexico (GOM). The sharks remained within an area about 1.0 km 2 in size and… Expand
