The genetic basis of divergent melanic pigmentation in benthic and limnetic threespine stickleback.

Heredity - 1 Oct 2024

Tapanes Elizabeth, Rennison Diana J

Abstract excerpt

Pigmentation is an excellent trait to examine patterns of evolutionary change because it is often under natural selection. Benthic and limnetic threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) exhibit distinct pigmentation phenotypes, likely an adaptation to occupation of divergent niches. The genetic architecture of pigmentation in vertebrates appears to be complex. Prior QTL mapping of threespine stickleback...
