Trout stocked in historically fishless Wyoming lakes swiftly evolved to take advantage of their new habitats, suggests research published in Evolution. A study found that both cutthroat trout and golden trout responded rapidly to the food available in their new homes, eventually developing physical attributes that allowed them to eat more plankton to stay healthy.
 

The study looked at lakes in Wyoming’s Wind River Range, a stretch of the Rocky Mountains that is home to glaciers, high peaks and alpine lakes that historically had no fish. Beginning in the early 20th century, wildlife managers began stocking the lakes with trout for fishing enthusiasts, leading the lakes’ native zooplankton to evolve to become smaller as larger plankton turned into fish food.
