About Melissa Pespeni

Melissa Pespeni, With an exceptional h-index of 25 and a recent h-index of 19 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at University of Vermont, specializes in the field of Evolution, genomics, physiology, development, ecology.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Epigenetic and evolutionary mechanisms uniquely contribute to rescue from global change

Abstract 1834 Environmental change determines selection for transcriptional plasticity in ectotherms

Developmental temperature, more than long‐term evolution, defines thermal tolerance in an estuarine copepod

Microbial dysbiosis precedes signs of sea star wasting disease in wild populations of Pycnopodia helianthoides

Whole-genome sequencing reveals that regulatory and low pleiotropy variants underlie local adaptation to environmental variability in purple sea urchins

Simultaneous warming and acidification limit population fitness and reveal phenotype costs for a marine copepod

Coping with seasons: evolutionary dynamics of gene networks in a changing environment

Sea stars resist wasting through active immune and collagen systems
