Incorporating adaptive genomic variation into predictive models …
WEBHere we used Molgula manhattensis, a highly invasive ascidian, as a model to assess its invasion risks along Chinese coasts under climate change. Through population genomics analyses, we identified two genetic clusters, the north and south clusters, based on geographic distributions.

WEBMolgula manhattensis was described from Manhatten Island NY by De Kay in 1843 (DeKay 1843), but it was collected earlier by Couthouy (1988) and Gould (1841) near Boston. It was described as a new species ( Ascidia ampulloides) from Europe in 1844.
