Understanding how a monophyletic lineage of a species diverges into several adaptive forms has received increased attention in recent years, but the underlying mechanisms in …
The adaptive radiation of fishes into benthic (littoral) and pelagic (lentic) morphs in post‐ glacial lakes has become an important model system for speciation. Although these systems …
Gill raker divergence is a general pattern in adaptive radiations of postglacial fish, but few studies have addressed the adaptive significance of this morphological trait in foraging and …
Three field‐identified whitefish Coregonus lavaretus forms in Lake Muddusjärvi, Finland, were compared in morphology, diet and prey size. First, these forms were studied with …
In adaptive radiations, ecological opportunity (ie niche availability) is considered to be an important driver to increase phenotypic variation, but diversity may also be constrained by …
Littoral benthic primary production is considered the most important energy source of consumers in subarctic lakes. We analyzed essential fatty acid (EFA) and amino acid (EAA) …

Ecological systems are often characterized as stable entities. However, basal productivity in most ecosystems varies between seasons, particularly in subarctic and polar areas. How …
Lake charr, Salvelinus namaycush, ecological and phenotypic diversity within and among populations was reviewed from empirical and conceptual perspectives. The species is …

Sympatric fish populations observed in many north temperate lakes are among the best models to study the processes of population divergence and adaptive radiation. Despite …
