ABSTRACT Organisms in nature are subjected to a variety of stressors, often simultaneously. Foremost among stressors key pollinators pathogens, poor nutrition and climate change. Landscape transcriptomics can be used decipher the relative role provided there unique signatures stress that reliably detected field specimens. In this study, we identify biomarkers bumble bee ( Bombus impatiens ) responses by first subjecting bees various short‐term (cold, heat, pathogen challenge) laboratory setting assessing their transcriptome responses. Using random forest classification on whole data, were able discriminate each stressor. Our best model (tissue‐specific trained subset important genes) correctly predicted known with 92% accuracy. We then applied wild‐caught sampled across heatwave event at two sites central Pennsylvania, US, expected differ baseline temperature floral resource availability. Transcriptomes during heat wave's peak showed stress, while collected relatively cooler morning periods starvation cold stress. failed pick up signals shortly after heatwave, suggesting set is more useful for identifying acute than long‐term monitoring chronic, landscape‐level stressors. highlight future directions fine‐tune landscape towards development better both conservation improving understanding stressor impacts bees.

Extreme weather events, such as heatwaves, are becoming more frequent and intense a result of climate change. Critically, extreme events can be important drivers extirpation selection than changes in annual or seasonal averages they pose particularly large threat to poikilothermic organisms. In this study, we evaluated the transcriptomic response coldwater adapted fish species, eastern brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis), two successive heatwaves during July August 2022. We sampled at eight time points from four streams (N = 116 fish), sequenced mRNA gill samples using TagSeq, quantified expression levels 32,670 unique transcripts. Multivariate analyses found that overall patterns water temperature change were similar among streams. These further detected groups genes involved immune oxygen carrier activity upregulated downregulated respectively higher temperatures. also 43 differentially expressed different followed same pattern heatwaves. Of these genes, 42 covaried with most (27, 62.8 %) exhibited responses varied by stream.

Abstract Species with widespread distributions play a crucial role in our understanding of climate change impacts on population structure. In marine species, structure is often governed by both high connectivity potential and selection across strong environmental gradients.
