Natural selection on a major armor gene in threespine stickleback.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 10 Oct 2008

Barrett Rowan D H, Rogers Sean M, Schluter Dolph

Abstract excerpt

Experimental estimates of the effects of selection on genes determining adaptive traits add to our understanding of the mechanisms of evolution. We measured selection on genotypes of the Ectodysplasin locus, which underlie differences in lateral plates in threespine stickleback fish. A derived allele (low) causing reduced plate number has been fixed repeatedly after marine stickleback colonized freshwater from...
