Common mechanism underlies repeated evolution of extreme pollution tolerance.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Feb 2012

Whitehead Andrew, Pilcher Whitney, Champlin Denise, Nacci Diane

Abstract excerpt

Human alterations to the environment can exert strong evolutionary pressures, yet contemporary adaptation to human-mediated stressors is rarely documented in wildlife populations. A common-garden experimental design was coupled with comparative transcriptomics to discover evolved mechanisms enabling three populations of killifish resident in urban estuaries to survive normally lethal pollution exposure during...
