Microbe Profile: <i>Vibrio pectenicida</i>: the deadly marine bacteria with strains impacting sea stars and scallops..

Phylogenetically Diverse Introgression Drives Subtle Population Structure in Pacific Rockfishes.. Genomic methods have shown that admixture and introgression are common across animal taxa. Pacific rockfishes, genus Sebastes, are a group of commercially important species that primarily inhabit inshore, shelf and slope habitats along the North American west coast. Among these, Copper and Quillback Rockfishes are closely related species known to hybridize, particularly within the Salish Sea in North America's Pacific Northwest.
