TL;DR: The role of both ecological and evolutionary structuring mechanisms in determining the genetic population structure of the Dover sole are indicated, revealing a slight reduction of genetic variability in the northern European basin, may suggest a population bottleneck, or local reduction in population size.

TL;DR: The results underline the role of GPx genes as indicators of stress and welfare status in gilthead sea bream aquaculture and reveal a tissue-specific pattern for each GPx homolog.

TL;DR: Despite the small geographical separation at the closest point, the English Channel may provide a barrier to gene flow between populations of Dover sole around the coasts of Britain and those on the coast of continental Europe.

TL;DR: There was little evidence in this data set that the degree of multilocus or single-locus heterozygos- ity correlates with growth rate in S. solea, agreeing with the general observation that the correlation is not expected in populations where there is no heterozygote deficiency.

TL;DR: The pattern of changes in relative mRNA expression levels indicate that mussels are able to sense thermal stress even when exposed to 22oC and before mussels' mortality is initiated, and supports a scenario, according to which exposure to 24oC might trigger ROS production, which is closely correlated with anaerobic metabolism under hypometabolic conditions.
