The evolution of trade‐offs: where are we?
Trade‐offs are a core component of many evolutionary models, particularly those dealing
with the evolution of life histories. In the present paper, we identify four topics of key …

Causes and effects of a highly successful marine invasion: case-study of the introduced Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas in continental NW European estuaries
K Troost - Journal of Sea Research, 2010 - Elsevier
Since the 1960's, the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas has been introduced for mariculture at
several locations within NW Europe. The oyster established itself everywhere and expanded …

Environmental quality and evolutionary potential: lessons from wild populations
An essential requirement to determine a population's potential for evolutionary change is to
quantify the amount of genetic variability expressed for traits under selection. Early …

New answers for old questions: the evolutionary quantitative genetics of wild animal populations
Recent years have seen a rapid expansion in the scope of quantitative genetic analyses
undertaken in wild populations. We illustrate here the potential for such studies to address …

Temperature and photoperiod drive Crassostrea gigas reproductive internal clock
C Fabioux, A Huvet, P Le Souchu, M Le Pennec… - Aquaculture, 2005 - Elsevier
This study examined the gametogenic cycle of Crassostrea gigas in controlled conditions
over one year, with a focus on the initiation of gametogenesis. This work analysed also the …

Application of a dynamic energy budget model to the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, reared under various environmental conditions
The Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) model (Kooijman, SALM, 1986. Energy budgets can
explain body size relations. J. Theor. Biol. 121, 269–282; Kooijman, SALM, 2000. Dynamic …

No apparent trade-offs associated with heat tolerance in a reef-building coral
As marine species adapt to climate change, their heat tolerance will likely be under strong
selection. Yet trade-offs between heat tolerance and other life history traits could …

What is the meta‐analytic evidence for life‐history trade‐offs at the genetic level?
Understanding the evolutionary mechanisms underlying the maintenance of individual
differences in behavior and physiology is a fundamental goal in ecology and evolution. The …

JF Samain, L Degremont, P Soletchnik, J Haure… - Aquaculture, 2007 - Elsevier
Summer mortality of Pacific oysters is known in several countries. However no specific
pathogen has been systematically associated with this phenomenon. A complex …
