      Knutsen, Halvor; Olsen, Esben Moland; Jorde, Per Erik; Espeland, Sigurd Heiberg; André, Carl (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-12-29)
      A key question in many genetic studies on marine organisms is how to interpret a low but statistically significant level of genetic differentiation. Do such observations reflect a real phenomenon, or are they caused by ...
