Abstract
⺠We study the population structure of two topshell species that differ in geographic range. ⺠The New Zealand endemic Diloma subrostrata displayed little population structure. ⺠The geographically widespread Diloma nigerrima displayed more population structure. ⺠D. nigerrima population structure did not consistently increase with geographic distance. ⺠Dispersal by rafting plays a role in establishing structure among D. nigerrima populations.
