Adaptive Variation Amid High Gene Flow Across a Broad Latitudinal Gradient in the Reef-Building Honeycomb Worm, Sabellaria alveolata.

Abstract excerpt

Climate change is already altering, and will continue to reshape, the persistence and spatial structure of marine populations. Understanding metapopulation connectivity and local adaptation is therefore critical for identifying both vulnerable populations and those with adaptive resilience. We applied a seascape genomics approach to investigate connectivity patterns and adaptive responses in the honeycomb worm,...
