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.

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome of Mnemiopsis leidyi, revealing unique immune gene domains and their expression in response to pathogen exposure.

This paper develops a somatic genetic clock to estimate age in clonal species by analyzing fixed somatic genetic variation, demonstrating its application in Zostera marina and revealing genet ages up to 1,403 years.
