Marine life is controlled by multiple physical and chemical drivers and by diverse ecological
processes. Many of these oceanic properties are being altered by climate change and other …

Populations that experience severe stress may avoid extinction through adaptation by
natural selection. This process is called evolutionary rescue and has been studied under …

Evolutionary adaptation can be rapid and potentially help species counter stressful
conditions or realize ecological opportunities arising from climate change. The challenges …

The search for the alleles that matter, the quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs) that underlie
heritable variation within populations and divergence among them, is a popular pursuit. But …

Ocean acidification poses a global threat to biodiversity, yet species might have the capacity
to adapt through evolutionary change. Here we summarize tools available to determine …

In experimental evolution, laboratory-controlled conditions select for the adaptation of
species, which can be monitored in real time. Despite the current popularity of such …

The frequency and intensity of harmful algal blooms (HABs) and phytoplankton community
shifts toward toxic species have increased worldwide. Although most research has focused …

The extinction rate of populations is predicted to rise under increasing rates of
environmental change,,. If a population experiencing increasingly stressful conditions lacks …

Epigenetic variation is being integrated into our understanding of adaptation, yet we lack
models on how epigenetic mutations affect evolution that includes de novo genetic change …

Our perspective highlights potentially important links between disparate fields—biological
oceanography, climate change research, and experimental evolutionary biology. We focus …
