Climate change and marine heatwaves introduce strong, directional selection for heat tolerance which, in turn, alters the genetic composition and diversity of marine species. While this may facilitate adaptation to warmer conditions, reduced genetic diversity may limit resilience or cause maladaptation to additional stressors. This project will focus on habitat-forming kelps and will aim to both assess the negative consequences of rapid selection and to disentangle the mechanisms of climate adaptation. Through a powerful combination of controlled experiments on known genotypes and cutting-edge transcriptomic approaches, this project will transform our understanding of the adaptability of foundation species in a rapidly changing ocean.

气候变化和海洋热浪引入了强烈的方向选择，以供热耐受性，从而改变了海洋物种的遗传组成和多样性。尽管这可能有助于适应温暖的条件，但遗传多样性的降低可能会限制弹性或对其他压力源导致不适。该项目将集中于形成栖息地的海带，并旨在评估快速选择的负面后果，并散布气候适应的机制。通过对已知基因型和尖端转录组方法的受控实验的强大组合，该项目将改变我们对迅速变化的海洋中基础物种的适应性的理解。
