Parallel evolution of lake whitefish dwarf ecotypes in association with limnological features of their adaptive landscape.

Abstract excerpt

Sympatric fish populations observed in many north temperate lakes are among the best models to study the processes of population divergence and adaptive radiation. Despite considerable research on such systems, little is known about the associations between ecological conditions and the extent of ecotypic divergence. In this study, we examined the biotic and abiotic properties of postglacial lakes in which lake...
