The effect of parental lineages nested within populations is not significant for any shell shape traits suggesting that any maternal effects on F1 shell morphology are negligible. The F1 generation was smaller than their ancestral parental generation. However, significant among-population differences were maintained in the F1 lineages as indicated by the significant effect of population in all shell shape measurements.
