Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Widely dispersed species are often found across heterogeneous environments, which can result in localized adaptive divergence among populations. While previous studies have highlighted the role of gene sequence variation in shaping adaptive divergence patterns, the contribution of gene expression changes remains poorly characterized. We explore this in a widespread mantis shrimp (Oratosquilla...
