Predicting the future of our oceans-Evaluating genomic forecasting approaches in marine species.

Climate change is restructuring biodiversity on multiple scales and there is a pressing need to understand the downstream ecological and genomic consequences of this change. Recent advancements in the field of eco-evolutionary genomics have sought to include evolutionary processes in forecasting species' responses to climate change (e.g.

Identifying genes associated with genetic control of color polymorphism in the pearl oyster var. (Linnaeus 1758) using a comparative whole genome pool-sequencing approach.

For hundreds of years, the color diversity of Mollusca shells has been a topic of interest for humanity. However, the genetic control underlying color expression is still poorly understood in mollusks. The pearl oyster is increasingly becoming a biological model to study this process due to its ability to produce a large range of colors.

Genetic parallelism between European flat oyster populations at the edge of their natural range.

Although all marine ecosystems have experienced global-scale losses, oyster reefs have shown the greatest. Therefore, substantial efforts have been dedicated to restoration of such ecosystems during the last two decades. In Europe, several pilot projects for the restoration of the native European flat oyster, , recently begun and recommendations to preserve genetic diversity and to conduct monitoring protocols have been made.

Gene expression plasticity, genetic variation and fatty acid remodelling in divergent populations of a tropical bivalve species.

Ocean warming challenges marine organisms' resilience, especially for species experiencing temperatures close to their upper thermal limits. A potential increase in thermal tolerance might significantly reduce the risk of population decline, which is intrinsically linked to variability in local habitat temperatures. Our goal was to assess the plastic and genetic potential of response to elevated temperatures in a tropical bivalve model, Pinctada margaritifera.
