Genetic variation among life-history stages of mussels in a Mytilus edulis-M. trossulus hybrid zone
TL;DR: The mussel species Mytilus edulis L. and M. trossulus Gould coexist and hybridize throughout a large area that includes the north coast of Maine and Atlantic Canada, with genetic evidence for limited hybridization between the two species for mussels >15 mm.
Heritability estimates of larval and spat shell height in the Chilean blue mussel (Mytilus chilensis Hupe 1854) produced under controlled laboratory conditions
TL;DR: The heritability of larval size is estimated in Mytilus chilensis, based on a nested design, involving 95 full-sib and 19 half-siber families grown under controlled laboratory conditions, suggesting that selection for shell size would be effective.

PCR-based nuclear and mtDNA markers and shell morphology as an approach to study the taxonomic status of the Chilean blue mussel, Mytilus chilensis (Bivalvia)
TL;DR: Molecular and morphometric data reported here give more evidence to support the view of other authors that the Chilean blue mussel should be included as M. edulis subspecies: Mytilus eduis chilensis.

Allozymic variation and differentiation in the chilean blue mussel, Mytilus chilensis, along its natural distribution
TL;DR: The findings indicate that its long-lived planktotrophic larvae provides this species with considerable dispersal ability throughout its range which is favoured by the ocean currents along the chilean coast.
The genetic structure of Mytilus chilensis (Hupé 1854) populations along the Chilean coast based on RAPDs analysis
TL;DR: The baseline data provided in this study provides the baseline data in order to continue further characterization of these mussel populations, considering the great increase in aquaculture of this species.
