Phenotype

This project utilizes extensive phenotyping to quantify key traits influencing the evolutionary dynamics of Littorina saxatilis. Traits such as shell morphology, boldness, and parasite load are measured to capture adaptive variation. By linking these traits to environmental and genomic data, we can discern how phenotypic divergence correlates with colonization success or failure. This approach helps address the research question of how specific traits facilitate population persistence under varying environmental pressures.
