[OANNES Foro] The life aquatic: advances in marine vertebrate genomics

[Mario Cabrejos]

Marine vertebrates are key contributors to global biodiversity and human
food supply. In this Review, the authors discuss how comparative genomics
studies in marine vertebrates have provided insight into major evolutionary
transitions between the land and sea, as well as intra-species adaptation to
diverse types of aquatic environments. They also highlight applications in
species management and conservation.

Abstract


The ocean is hypothesized to be where life on earth originated, and
subsequent evolutionary transitions between marine and terrestrial
environments have been key events in the origin of contemporary
biodiversity. Here, we review how comparative genomic approaches are an
increasingly important aspect of understanding evolutionary processes, such
as physiological and morphological adaptation to the diverse habitats within
the marine environment. In addition, we highlight how population genomics
has provided unprecedented resolution for population structuring, speciation
and adaptation in marine environments, which can have a low cost of
dispersal and few physical barriers to gene flow, and can thus support large
populations. Building upon this work, we outline the applications of
genomics tools to conservation and their relevance to assessing the
wide-ranging impact of fisheries and climate change on marine species.
