Abstract excerpt
Regulation of gene expression is a pivotal adaptive mechanism of organisms facing environmental variation. We studied the in situ gene expression of the shallow-water bivalve Aequiyoldia eightsii in Potter Cove (King George Island, Antarctica) occupying different habitats in front of a melting glacier on a local scale (1 km). The expression of nuclear genes was determined by (1) variation of the nuclear genome...
