Physiological Flexibility

To investigate environmental and seasonal patterns of mortality among natural populations of the blue mussel, Mytilus edulis, we transplanted 11 stocks of juvenile mussels to nine sites along the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada. Stock, Stock by Site, and Stock by Season together accounted for 53% of the variance in mortality whereas Site and Season together explained less than 1% of the variance. Genetic variability among stocks was inferred from differences in their cumulative mortality averaged over all environments. Several stocks, however, exhibited similar levels of mortality over all sites and were apparently insensitive to the environmental gradient. This implies physiological flexibility or the ability to tolerate a wide range of environmental conditions. We conclude that the blue mussel adapts to variable environments by maintaining both physiologically flexible and genetically variable populations. In addition, we noted that stocks originating from more stressful environments tended to exhibit lower mortalities than those originating from less stressful environments.
