Strong and consistent natural selection associated with armour reduction in sticklebacks.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jun 2011

Abstract excerpt

Measuring the strength of natural selection is tremendously important in evolutionary biology, but remains a challenging task. In this work, we analyse the characteristics of selection for a morphological change (lateral-plate reduction) in the threespine stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus. Adapt...
