Abstract:Physiological and transcriptomic response to thermal stress were investigated in the mudflat snail Batillaria attramentaria of different shell colour morphs. Despite no difference in upper lethal temperatures among shell colour morphs, their Arrhenius breakpoint temperatures (ABT) for cardiac thermal performance differed significantly, and the ABT of snails with D type morph was higher than snails with UL type morph. The transcriptomic analysis showed that D type snails exhibit higher levels of four HSPs than … Show more
