A century of allopatry: plasticity and rapid selection shape phenotypic trait variability under contrasting environments.

Abstract excerpt

Allopatric isolation under contrasting environments can drive rapid phenotypic divergence, even over contemporary timescales. Rapid changes in morphology or physiology can allow organisms to adapt to biotic and abiotic characteristics of their habitats. While studying metabolism, growth and resource needs may allow us to understand adaptation to several selective pressures, these traits are rarely jointly...
