Low annual temperature likely prevents the Holarctic amphipod Gammarus lacustris from invading Lake Baikal
Abstract Species with effective thermal adaptation mechanisms allowing them to thrive within a wide temperature range can benefit from climatic changes as they can displace highly specialized species. Here, we studied the adaptive capabilities of the Baikal endemic amphipods Eulimnogammarus verrucos...
