The effect of top‐predator presence and phenotype on aquatic microbial communities

Sullam, Karen E. ; Matthews, Blake ; Aebischer, Thierry ; Seehausen, Ole ; Bürgmann, Helmut

The presence of predators can impact a variety of organisms within the ecosystem, including microorganisms. Because the effects of fish predators and their phenotypic differences on microbial communities have not received much attention, we tested how the presence/absence, genotype, and plasticity of the predatory three-spine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) influence aquatic microbes in...

Experimental evidence of an eco-evolutionary feedback during adaptive divergence

Differences in how organisms modify their environment can evolve rapidly and might influence adaptive population divergence [1 and 2]. In a common garden experiment in aquatic mesocosms, we found that adult stickleback from a recently diverged pair of lake and stream populations had contrasting effects on ecosystem metrics. These modifications were caused by both genetic and plastic...
