Investigating the molecular basis of local adaptation to thermal stress: population differences in gene expression across the transcriptome of the copepod <it>Tigriopus californicus</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Geographic variation in the thermal environment impacts a broad range of biochemical and physiological processes and can be a major selective force leading to local population adaptation. In the intertidal copepod <it>Tigriopus...
