Las estrellas de mar adaptan su genoma a la región donde viven, según estudio científico

Researchers from the Doñana Biological Station and the University of Barcelona have identified that starfish adapt their genomes to the specific environmental conditions of their local habitats. The study reveals that individual starfish of the same species exhibit genetic variations corresponding to the regions in which they reside.

This discovery highlights the capacity of these marine organisms to undergo genomic adaptation to survive in diverse regional environments. The findings provide new insights into the biological mechanisms that allow starfish to thrive across different geographical locations.
