Discovery and evaluation of cadmium-adapted <i>Daphnia pulex</i> genotypes in a region of historical mining reveals adaptation protects the germline from cadmium-induced mutations

Abstract excerpt

Exposure to chemical pollutants can alter the rate, and genome-wide distribution of germline mutations. However, studies measuring the effect of chemical exposure on mutation rate and spectra have not considered the ecological and evolutionary backgrounds of studied genotypes, which could influence the rates and patterns of germline mutations in altered environments, e.g., chemical pollution. Utilizing a study of...
