Abstract
Allozymic variation encoded by 15 gene loci was compared and contrasted in naturally coexisting populations of two marine gastropods (Patella coerulea and Patella aspera) collected along the rocky beaches of the Mediterranean sea of Israel in June, 1979. The genetic variability did not differ consistently or significantly between the two species, but in all the populations studied, P. aspera was more heterozygous than P. coerulea. These results are discussed in terms of the potential ecological factors affecting this genetic differentiation.
