Gene expression plasticity facilitates acclimatization of a long-lived Caribbean coral across divergent reef environments

Gene expression plasticity facilitates acclimatization of a long-lived Caribbean coral across divergent reef environments

Abstract Local adaptation can increase fitness under stable environmental conditions. However, in rapidly changing environments, compensatory mechanisms enabled through plasticity may better promote fitness. Climate change is causing devastating impacts on coral reefs globally and understanding the...
