A Tale of Two Lakes: Divergent Evolutionary Trajectories of Two <i>Daphnia</i> Populations Experiencing Distinct Environments.

ABSTRACT: Most studies of local adaptation substitute the correlation between spatial distance and environmental heterogeneity for the temporal dynamics over which local adaptation evolves. The availability of detailed ecological and genomic information from lake sediments provides an opportunity to study local adaptation with unparalleled clarity from the temporal perspective. Inference can be further enhanced by including multiple lakes along ecological axes to further isolate the effects of ecological change in driving local adaptation. Lakes throughout the world face the impact of numerous anthropogenically induced environmental changes. Top among these is the eutrophication of freshwaters from agriculture, development, and land-use change. Here, we use the genetic information recorded in lake s
