Environmental fluctuations accelerate molecular evolution of thermal tolerance in a marine diatom

Environmental fluctuations accelerate molecular evolution of thermal tolerance in a marine diatom

A better mechanistic understanding of how marine diatoms adapt to global warming is pertinent to project changes in global ocean primary production. Here, Schaum et al. show substantial phenotypic and genomic changes in Thalassiosira pseudonana during a 300-generation selection experiment in stable...
