Sacramento State University

Dr. Lani Gleason is a marine biologist whose research in ecological genomics focuses on an intertidal marine snail. In this presentation, she begins by explaining how global warming threatens intertidal organisms, and how the gene flow opposes local adaptation to that climate change. She then discusses her research about how changes in gene expression and sequence between the snail’s Northern California and Southern California populations explain local adaptation to heat stress.
