In the last decade, the concept of animal stress has been stressed thin to accommodate the
effects of short-term changes in cell and tissue physiology, major behavioral syndromes in …

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

Adaptive variation tends to emerge clinally along environmental gradients or discretely
among habitats with limited connectivity. However, in Atlantic killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) …

Next‐generation sequencing and the collection of genome‐wide data allow identifying
adaptive variation and footprints of directional selection. Using a large SNP data set from …

The invasive marine mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis has displaced the native congener
Mytilus trossulus from central and southern California, but the native species remains …

Environments are changing rapidly, and to cope with these changes, organisms have to
adapt. Adaptation can take many shapes and occur at different speeds, depending on the …

Physiological plasticity and adaptive evolution may facilitate persistence in a changing
environment. As a result, there is an interest in understanding species' capacities for plastic …

High-altitude environments present strong stresses for living organisms, which have driven
striking phenotypic and genetic adaptations. While previous studies have revealed multiple …

The rainbow trout is an economically important fish in the world. The limited stress tolerance
of this species to high summer-like temperatures usually leads to mass mortality and great …

Background As ectothermic organisms have evolved to differing aquatic climates, the
molecular basis of thermal adaptation is a key area of research. In this study, we tested for …
