Genetics of thermal adaptation in wild populations of European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax)

Key Points

• European seabass populations exhibit significant genetic variation related to thermal adaptation, enhancing survival.
• Key findings indicate specific genomic regions linked to response to temperature fluctuations, with implications for conservation.
• Genomic analysis in diverse environments uncovers adaptive mechanisms to thermal stress shared among populations.
• Evolutionary significance highlighted, calling for further investigation into adaptive traits amidst climate challenges.
