Natural selection drives patterns of lake-stream divergence in stickleback foraging morphology.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Nov 2008

Berner D, Adams D C, Grandchamp A-C, Hendry A P

Abstract excerpt

To what extent are patterns of biological diversification determined by natural selection? We addressed this question by exploring divergence in foraging morphology of threespine stickleback fish inhabiting lake and stream habitats within eight independent watersheds. We found that lake fish generally displayed more developed gill structures and had more streamlined bodies than did stream fish. Diet analysis...
