Genome-wide diversity and Pinna rudis admixture reveal Thau lagoon as a conservation reservoir for the collapsing fan mussel Pinna nobilis

The conservation of Pinna nobilis increasingly depends on the Thau lagoon population, which has remained demographically stable and largely escaped the mass mortality events (MMEs) that have devastated open-sea populations across the Mediterranean. Here we assess the genetic diversity in the Thau and Diane lagoons...
