Genetic variation associated with lower susceptibility to sea star wasting syndrome in the keystone species, Pisaster ochraceus
2021-04-26
Abstract excerpt
The keystone species, Pisaster ochraceus, suffered mass mortalities along the northeast Pacific Ocean from Sea Star Wasting Syndrome (SSWS) outbreaks in 2013-2016. Causation of SSWS is still debated, leading to concerns as to whether outbreaks will continue to impact this species. Considering the apparent link between ocean temperature and SSWS, the future of this species and intertidal communities remains uncerta...
