Adaptive divergence in embryonic thermal plasticity among Atlantic salmon populations
Abstract In the context of global changes, the long‐term viability of populations of endangered ectotherms may depend on their adaptive potential and ability to cope with temperature variations. We measured responses of Atlantic salmon embryos from four populations to temperature variations and used...
