Study Finds Novel Mechanism of Divergent Phenotypic Plasticity for Temperature Adaptation in Oysters
Phenotypic plasticity is essential for responding rapidly to environmental variations, which is important to increase the fitness of organism under global climate change. However, the genetic and evolutionary mechanism underlying the plasticity in the m...Phenotypic plasticity is essential for responding rapidly to environmental variations, which is important to increase the fitness of organism under global climate change.

How Do Serpentinite-derived Fluids Oxidize Sub-arc Mantle?
Arc basalts typically have higher Fe3+/∑Fe ratios but lighter Fe isotopic compositions than mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB), however, the reasons for these differences are unclear.Arc basalts typically have higher Fe3+/∑Fe ratios but lighter Fe isotopic compositions than mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB), however, the reasons for these differences are unclear.

Study Identifies Genomic Region Linked with Sex Determination of Undaria pinnatifida
Undaria pinnatifida is the second most economically important brown macroalga in China. Different from the classical knowledge about kelp, there are three sexual phenotypes (female, male, and monoicous) in the haploid gametophytes of U. pinnatifida. How...Undaria pinnatifida is the second most economically important brown macroalga in China.

Researchers Construct High-resolution Physical-biogeochemical Model in Indo-Pacific Ocean
The Indo-Pacific region is the convergence zone of multi-earth-spheres with largest biodiversity in the global ocean. However, previous models were not refined enough to resolve the complex strait and topography, so the understanding of local biogeochem...The Indo-Pacific region is the convergence zone of multi-earth-spheres with largest biodiversity in the global ocean.
