Local adaptation of a marine invertebrate with a high dispersal potential: evidence from a reciprocal transplant experiment of the eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica

question posed by In 'open' systems, where new members may come from outside the local population and with species that have a high dispersal potential during part of their life history, such as the eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica, there are several challenges to understanding the role natural selection plays in the adaptation of populations to the local environment. Specifically, with a high dispersal potential and with-
