Description

<b>Abstract</b><br/>Evidence that organisms evolve rapidly enough to alter ecological dynamics necessitates investigation of the reciprocal links between ecology and evolution. Data that link genotype to phenotype to ecology are needed to understand both the process and ecological consequences of rapid evolution. Here we quantified the suite of elements in individuals (i.e., ionome) and the fluxes of key nutrients across populations of threespine stickleback. We find that allelic variation associated with freshwater adaptation that controls bony plating is associated with changes in the ionome and nutrient recycling. More broadly, we find that adaptation of marine fish to freshwater conditions shifts the ionomes of natural populations and populations raised in common gardens. In both cases ionomic divergence between populations was primarily driven by differences in trace elements rather than elements typically associated with bone. These findings demonstrate the utility of ecological stoichiometry and the importance of ionome-wide data in understanding eco-evolutionary dynamics.; <b>Usage notes</b><br /><div class="o-metadata__file-usage-entry"><h4 class="o-heading__level3-file-title">Rudman_SticklebackICPData_171122</h4><div class="o-metadata__file-description">ICP data used to construct figures 1A, 2A, and S1.</div><div class="o-metadata__file-name"></div></div><div class="o-metadata__file-usage-entry"><h4 class="o-heading__level3-file-title">Rudman_SticklebackExcretionData_171124</h4><div class="o-metadata__file-description">Data on nutrient excretion by stickleback plate phenotype.</div><div class="o-metadata__file-name"></div></div><div class="o-metadata__file-usage-entry"><h4 class="o-heading__level3-file-title">RudmanSticklebackCAFluxData_180219</h4><div class="o-metadata__file-description">Data on calcium uptake rates from individuals collected from different stickleback populations.</div><div class="o-metadata__file-name"></div></div><div class="o-metadata__file-usage-entry"><h4 class="o-heading__level3-file-title">Rudman_StickleabckPhosAssimData_180219</h4><div class="o-metadata__file-description">Data on P assimilation efficiency of stickleback individuals.</div><div class="o-metadata__file-name"></div></div>
