✦ Synopsis

Overall heterozygosity was high in all roach populations, and so was gene flow between them . However, genetic diversity was greater in the fast-flowing and more diverse French Upper Rhone than in the uniformly lentic River Saone . Rhone backwaters may be considered as ecotones and reservoirs of genetic diversity, but such is not the case in the Saone owing to the uniformity of the environment .
