New preprint out from postdoc Jenny Nascimento-Schulze! In hybrid blue mussels, the genetic contribution from different species dramatically shifted under heat selection. And this resulted in changes in performance. Maybe an approach to increase aquaculture resilience? biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

Thermal selection shifts genetic diversity and performance in blue mussel juveniles

Mussels from the genus Mytilus, key inhabitants of the benthos, are important for the aquaculture industry and one of the most sustainable sources of animal protein available. Species within the Mytil...
