Abstract excerpt
Populations exposed to environmental contaminants can undergo intense selection pressures, which in turn can lead to a loss of genetic variation. We assessed this loss of genetic variation in the least killifish Heterandria formosa for laboratory populations that had undergone eight generations o...
