Genomic and physiological adaptation to temperature in the invasive golden star runicate (Botryllus schlosseri)
… For cold tolerance, I observed a pattern of countergradient variation whereby northern populations were better able to maintain cardiac function in the cold than southern populations. This suggests compensatory genetic adaptation to the colder water temperatures at higher latitudes. Overall, …

Local Adaptation Signatures in Thermal Performance of the Temperate Coral Astrangia poculata
<p>The Northern Star Coral (<em>Astrangia poculata</em>) is an understudied temperate scleractinian coral that provides unique opportunities to understand the roles of phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation in coral physiological tolerance limits. <em>Astrangia poculata</em> inhabits hard …
