The snail Provanna glabra is a dominant species inhabiting both hydrothermal vents and cold seeps of the Northwest Pacific Ocean. The genetic diversity and population structure of the snail from the hydrothermal vents of Okinawa Trough and a methane seep in the South China Sea were investigated usin...
