The Adaptive Cline at LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase) in Killifish Fundulus heteroclitus Remains Stationary After 40 Years of Warming Estuaries.

Abstract excerpt

Since the 1970s, water temperatures along the Atlantic seaboard of the United States have risen by an average of 0.5 °C in summer months and 2.2 °C in winter months. In response, the distribution and abundance of several nearshore species have changed dramatically, but no study has attempted to document whether estuarine populations have evolved greater thermal tolerance. Here, we re-examine the classic...
