“…In addition, the study of spatial and temporal population genetic structure of aquatic organisms was fostered in the Lampert group over the years (Lampert & Wolf 1986;Weider 1989;Zeller et al 2006Zeller et al , 2008, which expanded our knowledge of the underlying roles played by selection, drift, migration, and mutation in structuring these populations. This included the characterization and assessment of the importance of interspecific hybridization and introgression in these systems A further area of evolutionary ecology, termed "resurrection ecology" (Kiehnau & Weider 2022), was fully supported at the MPIL during the Lampert years, which resulted in a number of high-impact publications that examined temporal evolutionary dynamics in zooplankton (primarily Daphnia) systems (Weider et al 1997;Hairston et al 1999;Kerfoot et al 1999;Hairston et al 2001). This greatly expanded our ability to examine how organisms can respond to shifting environmental conditions over the course of decades (or even centuries -e.g.…”
