+Increased fitness of a key appendicularian zooplankton species under warmer, acidified seawater conditions.
+
+[[!pmid 29298334 desc="Fertilty increases with acidity (tested values: 7.6, 8.0, 8.4), and generation time decreases with temperature (tested values: 12.0, 14.2, 14.5 and 17.2). Survival decreases at higher pH and temperature values. The gamete quality is not reduced. In mesocosms, the increase of temperature of +3°C at pH 7.6 resulted in 2.5- and 5-fold increases in abundance."]]
The SL gene is found downstream of the 5S RNA gene, which is repeated multiple
times in the genome ([[Ganot et al., 2004|biblio/15314184]]).
