Abstract
Chromosome numbers counted from embryo cells of the marine gastropod Littorina saxatilis (=L. rudis), were the same, 2n = 34, in populations of two different phenotypes from a small area in Sweden. Chromosome number in the related species-complex, Littorina obtusata, could not be determined definitely, but the most adequate figure seemed to be 2n = 34.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
