Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the sea urchin Diadema africanum, which has caused ecological problems in the Canary Islands due to high populations, but is currently experiencing mass mortality events that affect its survival and diversity.
- - Researchers analyzed 9,109 SNPs and a mitochondrial gene fragment to assess population structure and the impact of mortality, finding low genomic diversity, high connectivity, and evidence of recovery potential across the region.
- - Interestingly, they identified specific SNPs associated with adaptation to seawater temperature, suggesting that despite low diversity and homogeneity, some local adaptation is occurring through a shared ancestral genomic pool and ongoing gene flow.
