[HTML][HTML] Loss of transcriptional plasticity but sustained adaptive capacity after adaptation to global change conditions in a marine copepod

RS Brennan, JA DeMayo, HG Dam… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
Adaptive evolution and phenotypic plasticity will fuel resilience in the geologically
unprecedented warming and acidification of the earth’s oceans, however, we have much to learn …

Reciprocal osmotic challenges reveal mechanisms of divergence in phenotypic plasticity in the killifish Fundulus heteroclitus

RS Brennan, F Galvez… - The Journal of …, 2015 - journals.biologists.com
The killifish Fundulus heteroclitus is an estuarine species with broad physiological plasticity,
enabling acclimation to diverse stressors. Previous work suggests that freshwater …

Rapid, but limited, zooplankton adaptation to simultaneous warming and acidification

…, X He, MB Finiguerra, H Baumann, RS Brennan… - Nature Climate …, 2021 - nature.com
Predicting the response of marine animals to climate change is hampered by a lack of
multigenerational studies on evolutionary adaptation, particularly to combined ocean warming …

Functional and population genomic divergence within and between two species of killifish adapted to different osmotic niches

GM Kozak, RS Brennan, EL Berdan, RC Fuller… - …, 2014 - academic.oup.com
Adaptation to salinity affects species distributions, promotes speciation, and guides many
evolutionary patterns in fishes. To uncover the basis of a complex trait like osmoregulation, …

Experimental evolution reveals the synergistic genomic mechanisms of adaptation to ocean warming and acidification in a marine copepod

RS Brennan, JA DeMayo, HG Dam… - Proceedings of the …, 2022 - National Acad Sciences
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 …

Integrative population and physiological genomics reveals mechanisms of adaptation in killifish

RS Brennan, TM Healy, HJ Bryant… - Molecular Biology …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Adaptive divergence between marine and freshwater (FW) environments is important in
generating phyletic diversity within fishes, but the genetic basis of this process remains poorly …

Tolerance traits related to climate change resilience are independent and polygenic

TM Healy, RS Brennan, A Whitehead… - Global Change …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
The resilience of organisms to climate change through adaptive evolution is dependent on
the extent of genetically based variation in key phenotypic traits and the nature of genetic …

Rare genetic variation and balanced polymorphisms are important for survival in global change conditions

RS Brennan, AD Garrett, KE Huber… - … of the Royal …, 2019 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Standing genetic variation is important for population persistence in extreme environmental
conditions. While some species may have the capacity to adapt to predicted average future …

Model selection as a tool for phylogeographic inference: an example from the willow Salix melanopsis

BC Carstens, RS Brennan, V Chua, CV Duffie… - Molecular …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Phylogeographic inference has typically relied on analyses of data from one or a few genes
to provide estimates of demography and population histories. While much has been learned …

Local adaptation to osmotic environment in killifish, Fundulus heteroclitus, is supported by divergence in swimming performance but not by differences in excess post …

RS Brennan, R Hwang, M Tse, NA Fangue… - … and Physiology Part A …, 2016 - Elsevier
Regulation of internal ion homeostasis is essential for fishes inhabiting environments where
salinities differ from their internal concentrations. It is hypothesized that selection will reduce …
