| Abstract |
In order to realize a synthesis of the observations on Sphaeroma serratum polychromatism in 420 stations spreading on 1200km of Armorican coasts, a statistical approach is carried out to find whether the structure of the studied populations can be considered as continuous or discontinuous. Genetic distances between neighbouring samples show a distribution deprived of discontinuity and quite adjustable to a log-normal distribution. For an equal geographical distance, the variations between the specimens are not different, whether there is a physical contact between the populations (areas quite favourable to Sphaeroma) or no contact (samples separated by unfavourable areas). According to every tests, the hypothesis is confirmed that the structure of S. serratum populations can be considered as continuous on the scale of our observations. |
