- Most members of retinoic acid pathway gene network (biosynthesis, signalling
and degradation) are lost in _O. dioica_. Some of the remaining ones show
signs of neofunctionalisation or specialisation in their ancestral activity in

Phenotypes
- _O. dioica_ populations may have a higher fitness in warmer and more acid oceans
([[Bouquet et al., 2018|biblio/29298334]]).
- - _O. Dioica_ has “a very large mutation rate, and/or a very large effective
+ - _O. dioica_ has “a very large mutation rate, and/or a very large effective
population size” ([[Denoeud et al., 2010|biblio/21097902]], according to a study
of silent and non-silent substitution rates in coding sequences).
