“This demonstrated sympatry indicates that the two kinds are not conspecific.”

“This area sympatry comprises a limited zone of introgressive hybridisation in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the Laurentian Channel and Flemish Cap.”

“Although the two species were not found in sympatry, a population of P. elegans was found only 9 km away from a P. actinia population in Santo Antonio da Patrulha county.”
