Aquatic ecosystems have been exposed worldwide to varying degrees of pollution, and the fitness of their communities and populations has been affected to such extent that biodiversity is compromised. We evaluate the potential adaptive response of three-spined stickleback, a model fish, to pollution after multigenerational exposure ...
