Arctic Charr Develop Distinct Metabolism Within 100 Years in Lake Allos
Arctic charr introduced to Lake Allos in 1924 have undergone significant metabolic changes in just one century. Scientists found that these fish display distinct body shapes and physiological differences attributed largely to phenotypic plasticity. Juveniles from Lake Allos consistently show higher metabolic rates even when raised under controlled laboratory conditions. The findings highlight the species' remarkable capacity to adapt rapidly to new environmental conditions.
