How can a sea star live in such different environments? 🌊⭐️ From the warm Mediterranean to the colder waters around the British Isles, Marthasterias glacialis thrives across very different conditions. Our new study may offer part of the answer⬇️ royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article...

Hidden genomic structure and widespread structural polymorphism across environmental gradients in the spiny sea star Marthasterias glacialis
Abstract. Genomic regions of reduced recombination can preserve linkage among co-adapted alleles, facilitating local adaptation despite high connectivity.

Congratulations to Vanessa Arranz for her participation in the 14th international temperate reef symposium (ITRS25) in Brest, France. An impressive talk about: Strategies of echinoderms in response to ocean acidification. An “omics” approach from a natural laboratory. Good job💪🏼⭐️

Introducing Coscinasterias tenuispina — a fascinating multi-armed starfish from the Mediterranean and eastern Atlantic 🌊 💪🏼 Variable arm number: this species typically has 6 to 9 arms, a trait linked to its mode of asexual reproduction.
