Parallel diversification provides a proper framework for studying the role of natural selection
in evolution. Yet, empirical studies from ecological 'non‐model'species of invertebrates are …

The eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, has been an important fishery species in the
United States for hundreds of years. The emergence of population devastating diseases …

The eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica is a major aquaculture species for the USA. The
sustainable development of eastern oyster aquaculture depends upon the continued …

The cost of genotyping remains a persistent barrier to the adoption of genomic selection for
many breeding programs. This is particularly prominent in the aquaculture industry because …

Selective breeding for production traits has yielded relatively rapid successes with high‐
fecundity aquaculture species. Discovering the genetic changes associated with selection is …

The eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, is a valuable fishery and aquaculture species that
provides critical services as an ecosystem engineer. Oysters have a life-history that …

The eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) is a protandrous hermaphrodite of commercial
importance. As with many marine invertebrates, little is known about sex determination and …

Disease tolerance, a host's ability to limit damage from a given parasite burden, is quantified
by the relationship between pathogen load and host survival or reproduction. Dermo …

Eastern oysters, Crassostrea virginica, are facing rapid environmental changes in the
northern Gulf of Mexico and can respond to these changes via plasticity or evolution. Plastic …
