Ecological and Physiological Differentiation Among Low‐Artic Clones of Daphnia Pulex
A distributional survey of obligately parthenogenetic clonal groups belonging to the Daphnia pulex complex was conducted on rock bluff and tundra ponds near Churchill, Manitoba. Clonal distributions were spatially heterogeneous. The clonal patterns of microgeographic heterogeneity suggested a strong...
