Summary Publication of The Genetics of Colonizing Species in 1965 launched the field of
invasion genetics and highlighted the value of biological invasions as natural ecological and …

After several billions of years, nature still makes decisions on its own to identify, develop,
and direct the most effective material for phenomena/challenges faced. Likewise, and …

Global change includes alterations in ocean temperature, oxygen availability, salinity, and
pH, abiotic variables with strong and interacting influences on the physiology of all taxa …

Microplastics (MPs) pollution and salinity variation are two environmental stressors, but their
combined effects on marine mollusks are rarely known. Oysters (Crassostrea gigas) were …

Elucidating the physiological mechanisms that underlie thermal stress and discovering how
species differ in capacities for phenotypic acclimatization and evolutionary adaptation to this …

Background Low salinity is one of the main factors limiting the distribution and survival of
marine species. As a euryhaline species, the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas is considered …

There is growing recognition of the need to understand the mechanisms underlying
organismal resilience (ie tolerance, acclimatization) to environmental change to support the …

ABSTRACT During the past 2–3 decades, the spatiotemporal distribution of Mytilus spp. in
coastal waters of the North Atlantic has changed considerably. In general, reduced …

Transcriptomics has emerged as a powerful approach for exploring physiological responses
to the environment. However, like any other experimental approach, transcriptomics has its …

Genetic divergence among populations arises through natural selection or drift and is
counteracted by connectivity and gene flow. In sympatric populations, isolating mechanisms …
