Adaptation to warm environments with a fast pace of life in a marine predatory snail

This study examines local adaptation in marine snails to temperature regimes, finding that low latitude populations exhibit faster growth and early reproduction, while high latitude populations grow slower but reach larger sizes later.

Spatial sorting and accelerated larval development in a range expanding fiddler crab

The paper examines spatial sorting and countergradient selection in fiddler crabs during range expansion, finding shorter pelagic larval durations at range edges linked to ocean warming and genetic change.
