Highly conserved among eukaryotes, the chemical defensome protects organisms against stressors and helps to reestablish altered homeostatic state. The includes genes such as transporters (e.g., adenosine triphosphate ATP-binding cassette), phase I II detoxification enzymes, antioxidant enzymes. During their life cycle, planktonic copepods, most abundant ubiquitous metazoans on Earth, are exposed many environmental that impair survival fitness. Here, using high-quality publicly available transcriptomic data, were searched in copepods belonging different orders living environments Antarctic, Subarctic, Mediterranean). Gene expression responses investigated four calanoids stresses identify a common species-specific system. Our results confirm is highly but also report differences relative contribution of species habitats, suggesting fitness adaptation pressures. provided here can be used biomarkers defense tested other assess "health" marine organisms, which useful for understanding adaptations they changes make predictions at population community levels.
