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

Ocean and coastal ecosystems support life on Earth and many aspects of human well-being.
Covering two-thirds of the planet, the ocean hosts vast biodiversity and modulates the global …

Aquaculture currently accounts for approximately half of all seafood produced and is the
fastest growing farmed food sector globally. Marine bivalve aquaculture, the farming of …

Heatwaves have become more frequent and intense in the last two decades, resulting in
detrimental effects on marine bivalves and ecosystems they sustain. Intertidal clams inhabit …

Climate change is predicted to dramatically alter biological diversity and distributions,
driving extirpations, extinctions, and extensive range shifts across the globe. Warming can …

Abstract The Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) is a widely distributed marine bivalve of great
ecological and economic importance. In this study, we provide a high‐quality chromosome …

A quantitative understanding of physiological thermal responses is vital for forecasting
species distributional shifts in response to climate change. Many studies have focused on …

Understanding the roles of genetic divergence and phenotypic plasticity in adaptation is
central to evolutionary biology and important for assessing adaptive potential of species …

Abstract Background The Portuguese oyster Crassostrea angulata and the Pacific oyster C.
gigas are two major Crassostrea species that are naturally distributed along the Northwest …

Climate change and intensifying human activity are posing serious threats to marine
organisms. The fluctuating intertidal zone forms a miniature ecosystem of a rapidly changing …
