Altered Phenotypic Responses of Asexual Arctic Daphnia After 10 Years of Rapid Climate Change.

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the fates of organisms and ecosystems under global change requires consideration of the organisms' rapid adaptation potential. In the Arctic, the recent temperature increase strongly impacts freshwater ecosystems which are important sentinels for climate change. However, a mechanistic understanding of the adaptive capacity of their key zooplankton grazers, among them polyploid, obligate...
