[HTML][HTML] Loss of transcriptional plasticity but sustained adaptive capacity after adaptation to global change conditions in a marine copepod
Adaptive evolution and phenotypic plasticity will fuel resilience in the geologically

Transcriptomic responses to seawater acidification among sea urchin populations inhabiting a natural pH mosaic
Increasing awareness of spatial and temporal variation in ocean pH suggests some marine
populations may be adapted to local pH regimes and will therefore respond differently to …

Rapid, but limited, zooplankton adaptation to simultaneous warming and acidification
Predicting the response of marine animals to climate change is hampered by a lack of

Signals of selection in outlier loci in a widely dispersing species across an environmental mosaic
MH Pespeni, SR Palumbi - Molecular Ecology, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Local adaptation reflects a balance between natural selection and gene flow and is classically
thought to require the retention of locally adapted alleles. However, organisms with high …

Experimental evolution reveals the synergistic genomic mechanisms of adaptation to ocean warming and acidification in a marine copepod
Metazoan adaptation to global change relies on selection of standing genetic variation.
Determining the extent to which this variation exists in natural populations, particularly for …

Differences in the regulation of growth and biomineralization genes revealed through long-term common-garden acclimation and experimental genomics in the purple …
Across heterogeneous landscapes, populations may have adaptive differences in gene
regulation that adjust their physiologies to match local environments. Such differences could …
