Population genomics has provided
unprecedented opportunities to unravel
the mysteries of marine organisms in the
oceans' depths. The world's oceans,
which make up 70% of our planet,
encompass diverse habitats and host
numerous unexplored populations and
species. Population genomics studies of
marine organisms are rapidly emerging
and have the potential to transform our
understanding of marine populations,
species, and ecosystems, providing
insights into how these organisms are
evolving and how they respond to
different stimuli and environments. This
knowledge is critical for understanding
the fundamental aspects of marine life,
how marine organisms will respond to
environmental changes, and how we can
better protect and preserve marine
biodiversity and resources.
This book brings together leading
experts in the field to address critical
aspects of fundamental and applied
research in marine species and share
their research and insights crucial for
understanding marine ecosystem diversity
and function. It also discusses the
challenges, opportunities and future
perspectives of marine population
genomics.
