A possible explanation for this panmixis is Gulf Stream intensification (Coetlogon et al., 2006) and the recirculation tendency of surface waters around the North Atlantic subtropical gyre (Richardson, 1993).

Selection operator is panmixis. Panmixis - the simplest selection operator, according to which each member of the population is assigned a random integer in the interval [1, n], where n - number of individuals in the population.

In marine systems subject to strong oceanographic currents, panmixis of highly dispersive populations may limit local adaptation (Palumbi, 1992; Kawecki and Ebert, 2004).

Desde el ano 1991 el Mundo ha cambiado significativamente en varios aspectos, en especial en tres: vivimos en una tendencia a la globalizacion lo que conlleva a una panmixis socio-economica, cultural y hasta genetica; hemos pasado de una sociedad de la informacion (fruto de las tecnologias de la informacion y comunicaciones) a una del conocimiento (donde se utiliza la informacion para elaborar elementos que puedan ser comprendidos por cualquier mente humana racional), con las implicancias que significan; y finalmente la sociedad ha tomado conciencia de la importancia del ambiente frente al resultado del cambio climatico global.

Bradford Morrow came fully fledged with a vision of what Darwin called panmixis.

It was therefore not possible to detect differences in gene flow over land as compared to across the riven Panmixis or complete isolation of populations would give the same result under these circumstances.

The absence of common sampling protocols and the varied geographic settings among different studies make it difficult to reconcile their divergent outcomes, which range from panmixis (genetically homogeneous populations) over vast distances (Shaklee 1984, Shaklee and Samollow 1984, Lacson 1992, Planes 1993a) to regional (Bell et al.
