Rapid evolution in fish: Genomic changes within a generation

Monday, April 27, 2020 - 10:10 in Biology & Nature

Researchers from Basel have identified the genetic basis of rapid adaptation using a native fish species. They compared threespine stickleback fish from different habitats in the Lake Constance region. Their study reveals that changes in the genome can be observed within a single generation. The results were published in the journal Nature Communications.
