However, there is also evidence of very recent invasions from northern Europe, probably associated with shipping, and recent genetic work has shown extensive interbreeding between the native <i>Mytilus</i> and these recent arrivals.","habitat":"Marine unspecified<br>Estuarine<br>Coastal (0-40m)<br>","NameVerifiedSource":"Ab Rahim, E.S., Nguyen, T.T.T., Ingram, B., Riginos, C., Weston, K.J., Sherman, C.D.H., 2016.
