What the paper covers
Examines nuclear and mitochondrial genetic variation to investigate Pacific CRB invasion pathways, and highlights limits to resolving those pathways from the tested markers.
Read it in context
Historical marker-based study; limited genetic resolution should not be mistaken for proof of a particular introduction route.
