Assessing Mechanisms of Potential Local Adaptation Through a Seascape Genomic Approach in a Marine Gastropod, Littoraria flava.

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the combined effects of environmental heterogeneity and evolutionary processes on marine populations is a primary goal of seascape genomic approaches. Here, we utilized genomic approaches to identify local adaptation signatures in Littoraria flava, a widely distributed marine gastropod in the tropical West Atlantic population. We also performed molecular evolution analyses to investigate potential...
