| Summary: | Ocean acidification (OA), the global decrease in surface water pH from absorption of anthropogenic CO2, may put many marine taxa at risk. However, populations that experience extreme localized conditions, and are adapted to these conditions predicted in the global ocean in 2100, may be more tolerant to future OA. By identifying locally adapted populations, researchers can examine the mechanisms used to cope with decreasing pH. One oceanographic process that influences pH, is wind driven upwelling. Here we compare two Californian populations of the coral Balanophyllia elegans from distinct upwelling regimes, and test their physiological and transcriptomic responses to experimental seawater acidification. We measured respiration rates, protein and lipid content, and gene expression in corals from both populations exposed to pH levels of 7.8 and 7.4 for 29 days. Corals from the population that experiences lower pH due to high upwelling, maintained the same respiration rate throughout the exposure. In contrast, ... : Orthogroup TranscriptomeTranscriptome in fasta file format containing all contigs for the PAC and GOL population that were assigned an Orthogroup.all_transcriptome_orthogroups_blastorphansPAC TranscriptomeTranscriptome in fasta file format containing all contigs for the PAC populationPAC_transcriptome.txtGOL TranscriptomeTranscriptome in fasta file format containing all contigs for the GOL populationGOL_transcriptome.txtOrthogroup RSEM merged matrixRSEM matrix file containing total expression counts for all contigs in each Orthogroup category; header explanantion: P or G referes to population origin (PAC or GOL), 1 2 or 3 refers to treatment replicate, H or L refers to high or low pH exposure, 1 or 2 referes to time point 1 (day 9) or time point 2 (day 29).Orthoblast_RSEM_merged_matrixOrthogroupText file containing all Orthogroup names and their corresponding contig names from the PAC and GOL population ... |
