Inducible prey defences occur when organisms undergo plastic changes in phenotype to reduce predation risk. When predation pressure varies persistently over space or time, such as when predator and prey co‐occur over only part of their biogeographic ranges, prey populations can become locally adapted in their inducible defences. In California estuaries, native Olympia oyster (

Abstract Ostrea lurida ) populations have evolved disparate phenotypic responses to an invasive predator, the Atlantic oyster drill (Urosalpinx cinerea ). In this study, oysters from an estuary with drills, and oysters from an estuary without drills, were reared for two generations in a laboratory common garden, and subsequently exposed to cues from Atlantic drills. Comparative proteomics was then used to investigate molecular mechanisms underlying conserved and divergent aspects of their inducible defences. Both populations developed smaller, thicker, and harder shells after drill exposure, and these changes in shell phenotype were associated with upregulation of calcium transport proteins that could influence biomineralization. Inducible defences evolve in part because defended phenotypes incur fitness costs when predation risk is low. Immune proteins were downregulated by both oyster populations after exposure to drills, implying a trade‐off between biomineralization and immune function. Following drill exposure, oysters from the population that co‐occurs with drills grew smaller shells than oysters inhabiting the estuary not yet invaded by the predator. Variation in the response to drills between populations was associated with isoform‐specific protein expression. This trend suggests that a stronger inducible defence response evolved in oysters that co‐occur with drills through modification of an existing mechanism. -

Abstract Effective management of threatened and exploited species requires an understanding of both the genetic connectivity among populations and local adaptation. The Olympia oyster (
Ostrea lurida ), patchily distributed from Baja California to the central coast of Canada, has a long history of population declines due to anthropogenic stressors. For such coastal marine species, population structure could follow a continuous isolation‐by‐distance model, contain regional blocks of genetic similarity separated by barriers to gene flow, or be consistent with a null model of no population structure. To distinguish between these hypotheses inO. lurida , 13,424 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP s) were used to characterize rangewide population structure, genetic connectivity, and adaptive divergence. Samples were collected across the species range on the west coast of North America, from southern California to Vancouver Island. A conservative approach for detecting putative loci under selection identified 235SNP s across 129GBS loci, which were functionally annotated and analyzed separately from the remaining neutral loci. While strong population structure was observed on a regional scale in both neutral and outlier markers, neutral markers had greater power to detect fine‐scale structure. Geographic regions of reduced gene flow aligned with known marine biogeographic barriers, such as Cape Mendocino, Monterey Bay, and the currents around Cape Flattery. The outlier loci identified as under putative selection included genes involved in developmental regulation, sensory information processing, energy metabolism, immune response, and muscle contraction. These loci are excellent candidates for future research and may provide targets for genetic monitoring programs. Beyond specific applications for restoration and management of the Olympia oyster, this study lends to the growing body of evidence for both population structure and adaptive differentiation across a range of marine species exhibiting the potential for panmixia. Computational notebooks are available to facilitate reproducibility and future open‐sourced research on the population structure ofO. lurida . -

Abstract The eastern oyster (
Crassostrea virginica Dmrt1 ,Sox‐30 ,Bindin ,Dpy‐30 , andHistone H4 in males andFoxl2 ,Vitellogenin , andBystin in females. GO terms associated with transcripts upregulated in male gonads include protein modification, reproductive process, and cell projection organization, whereas RNA metabolic process and amino acid metabolic process were associated with transcripts upregulated in females. Far fewer transcripts were differentially expressed between male and female mantle tissues, with 87 transcripts upregulated in females and 16 upregulated in males. However, 41% of transcripts identified as differentially expressed between mantle tissues were also differentially expressed between male and female gonads includingHistone H4 andBystin . This study represents the first characterization of eastern oyster male and female gonad transcriptomes. We further identify differing expression profiles between male and female mantle tissues, which provides evidence for sex‐specific functions of the mantle and suggests that this tissue could harbor biomarkers for identifying oyster sex non‐destructively. -

Premise Cold tolerance is an important factor limiting the geographic distribution and growing season for many plant species, yet few studies have examined variation in cold tolerance extensively within and among closely related species and compared that to their geographic distribution.
Methods This study examines cold tolerance within and among species in the genus
Arabidopsis . We assessed cold tolerance by measuring electrolyte leakage from detached leaves in multiple populations of fiveArabidopsis taxa. The temperature at which 50% of cells were lysed was considered the lethal temperature (LT 50).Results We found variability within and among taxa in cold tolerance. There was no significant within‐species relationship between latitude and cold tolerance. However, the northern taxa,
A. kamchatica ,A. lyrata subsp.petraea , andA. lyrata subsp.lyrata , were more cold tolerant thanA. thaliana andA. halleri subsp.gemmifera both before and after cold acclimation. Cold tolerance increased after cold acclimation (exposure to low, but nonfreezing temperatures) for all taxa, although the difference was not significant forA. halleri subsp.gemmifera . For all taxa exceptA. lyrata subsp.lyrata , theLT 50values for cold‐acclimated plants were higher than the January mean daily minimum temperature (Tmin), indicating that if plants were not insulated by snow cover, they would not likely survive winter at the northern edge of their range.Conclusions Arabidopsis lyrata andA. kamchatica were far more cold tolerant thanA. thaliana . These extremely cold‐tolerant taxa are excellent candidates for studying both the molecular and ecological aspects of cold tolerance. -

Abstract Myo ‐inositol oxygenase (MIOX) is the first enzyme in the inositol route to ascorbate (L‐ascorbic acid, AsA, vitamin C). We have previously shown that Arabidopsis plants constitutively expressingMIOX have elevated foliar AsA content and displayed enhanced growth rate, biomass accumulation, and increased tolerance to multiple abiotic stresses. In this work, we used a combination of transcriptomics, chromatography, microscopy, and physiological measurements to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms mediating the phenotype of theAt MIOX4 line. Transcriptomic analysis revealed increased expression of genes involved in auxin synthesis, hydrolysis, transport, and metabolism, which are supported by elevated auxin levels both in vitro and in vivo, and confirmed by assays demonstrating their effect on epidermal cell elongation in theAt MIOX4 over‐expressers. Additionally, we detected up‐regulation of transcripts involved in photosynthesis and this was validated by increased efficiency of the photosystem II and proton motive force. We also found increased expression of amylase leading to higher intracellular glucose levels. Multiple gene families conferring plants tolerance/expressed in response to cold, water limitation, and heat stresses were found to be elevated in theAt MIOX4 line. Interestingly, the high AsA plants also displayed up‐regulation of transcripts and hormones involved in defense including jasmonates, defensin, glucosinolates, and transcription factors that are known to be important for biotic stress tolerance. These results overall indicate that elevated levels of auxin and glucose, and enhanced photosynthetic efficiency in combination with up‐regulation of abiotic stresses response genes underly the higher growth rate and abiotic stresses tolerance phenotype of theAt MIOX4 over‐expressers.
