Variation among genotypes in responses to increasing temperature in a marine parasite: evolutionary potential in the face of global warming?

Abstract excerpt

Climates are changing worldwide, and populations are under selection to adapt to these changes. Changing temperature, in particular, can directly impact ectotherms and their parasites, with potential consequences for whole ecosystems. The potential of parasite populations to adapt to climate change largely depends on the amount of genetic variation they possess in their responses to environmental fluctuations....
