“…Population specificity, similar to that shown by the hsp genes in Calanus has been observed in the expression of stress-associated genes in response to elevated temperatures in southern and northern populations of the copepod Tigriopus californicus (Schoville et al, 2012), the killifish Fundulus heteroclitus (Whitehead and Crawford, 2006), the seagrass Zostera marina (Bergmann et al, 2010;Franssen et al, 2011), and the seaweed Fucus (Jueterbock et al, 2014;Pearson et al, 2009;Smolina et al, 2016). Such variation in a species ability to cope with diverse environmental pressure has been shown to be a result of phenotypic plasticity (Lardies and Bozinovic, 2008) and/or local adaptation (Yampolsky et al, 2014).…”
