Populations of the non-migratory estuarine fish Fundulus heteroclitus inhabiting the heavily polluted New Bedford Harbour (NBH) estuary have shown inherited tolerance to local pollutants introduced to their habitats in the past 100 years. Here we exa

Significance The rocky intertidal is a natural laboratory to study how natural selection acts on the genes and proteins responsible for organismal survival and reproduction. Alternative forms of enzymes that differ across the intertidal have been kno

Purpose β-Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder characterized by reduced or no production of adult hemoglobin. Systematic identification of the burden of β-thalassemia with contemporary treatments is lacking in published literature. Thus, a ga

The physiological link between oxygen availability and mitochondrial function is well established. However, whether or not fitness variation is associated with mitochondrial genotypes in the field remains a contested topic in evolutionary biology. In

Climate change is shifting the phenology of many species throughout the world. While the interspecific consequences of these phenological shifts have been well documented, the intraspecific shifts and their resultant evolutionary consequences remain

Hardy Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) was assessed for each locus in each of the treatments using the ‘genhw’ package in Stata (StataCorp 2007). No treatments showed significant deviations from HWE at either locus. Values in Table S1 are p-values from

The fitness of species with little genetic diversity is expected to be affected by inbreeding and an inability to respond to environmental change. Conservation theory suggests that endangered species will generally demonstrate lower genetic diversity

Background The most toxic aromatic hydrocarbon pollutants are categorized as dioxin-like compounds (DLCs) to which extreme tolerance has evolved independently and contemporaneously in (at least) four populations of Atlantic killifish (Fundulus hetero

Understanding the patterns of genetic variation within and among populations is a central problem in population and evolutionary genetics. We examine this question in the acorn barnacle, Semibalanus balanoides, in which the allozyme loci Mpi and Gpi

Population genetic characteristics are shaped by the life-history traits of organisms and the geologic history of their habitat. This study provides a neutral framework for understanding the population dynamics and opportunities for selection in Semi
