The paper examines genetic structure in sperm whales using genomic and mitochondrial data, finding male-biased dispersal and female philopatry despite high dispersal potential.

The paper uses whole-genome sequencing to analyze genomic responses to Bti and copper exposure in Chironomus riparius, revealing distinct adaptive mechanisms despite limited phenotypic adaptation.

This study examines how the copepod Acartia tonsa adapts to low salinity stress through transcriptomic responses in populations from the North Sea and Baltic Sea, revealing differences in osmoregulatory strategies and plasticity.

This study experimentally evolved marine copepods under global change stressors and found complementary genetic and epigenetic changes contribute to resilience, with epigenetic changes linked to stress response and gene expression.

The paper uses genomic data from Eastern Baltic cod to show evolutionary changes due to fishing pressure, identifying loci under directional selection linked to growth and reproduction.

The paper quantifies genetic diversity across 93 marine species and finds that range size and planktonic dispersal correlate with higher genetic diversity.

This study examines how thermal stress affects genetic diversity and performance in blue mussel juveniles, showing increased M. edulis genotypes and reduced performance under high temperatures.
