Genetics of body shape and armour variation in threespine sticklebacks.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jan 2011

Leinonen T, Cano J M, Merilä J

Abstract excerpt

Patterns of genetic variation and covariation can influence the rate and direction of phenotypic evolution. We explored the possibility that the parallel morphological evolution seen in threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) populations colonizing freshwater environments is facilitated by patterns of genetic variation and covariation in the ancestral (marine) population. We estimated the genetic (G) and...
