Out of the cradle: expansion from the natal ecosystem erodes morphological specificity in endemic Kamchatkan charrs (genus Salvelinus)
These findings show that the postglacial expansion of adaptive morphs from the cradle ecosystem bolsters regional diversity, and that migrants quickly lose ancestral adaptive traits, forming new morphotypes in response to changing environmental pressures.
