Understanding spatial and temporal scales at which evolutionary processes interact is fundamental to know how the species and their populations adapt to the environment. Among these evolutionary processes, selection and dispersal play an important role, due to the speed with which they can change population dynamics and their adaptation to the environment. We examined these two processes in the acorn barnacle Semibalanus balanoides, a model invertebrate intertidal species having to adapt to a highly heterogeneous environment. In this species, a geographic (or spatial) discontinuity in the allelic frequencies of two allozymes (MPI* and GPI*) is maintained under the effect of selection in the south of the gulf of the St. Lawrence, whereas neutrality cannot be ruled out in the north region. Our results showed that the selection occurs during first days after larval settlement. Modeling of the system showed that polymorphism can be maintained when barnacles from the northern region of the Gulf contribute the majority of recruitment of the whole population. The ecological data, in particular the disproportionate movements of the larvae in north-south direction and oceanographic currents in the area, support the prediction of the model. This discovery represents one of the rare studies able to explain the maintenance of genetic variability by natural selection in a heterogeneous environment. Finally, an analysis of microsatellite markers showed that the larvae of S. balanoides do not mix completely during planktonic development, suggesting that barnacles within a microhabitat have similar parental lineages despite the enormous potential for planktonic mixing. Indeed, unidirectional currents in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, high individual fecundity, and gregarious behaviour of the larvae at settlement could influence the non-random distribution of individuals in the intertidal. This study shows for this S. balanoides population that the oceanographic currents play a predominant role in the selection and dispersal dynamics, fundamental processes for the adaptation to highly heterogeneous environments.
