Heterogeneous genomic architecture of skeletal armour traits in sticklebacks.

Abstract excerpt

Whether populations adapt to similar selection pressures using the same underlying genetic variants depends on population history and the distribution of standing genetic variation at the metapopulation level. Studies of sticklebacks provide a case in point: when colonizing and adapting to freshwater habitats, three-spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) with high gene flow tend to fix the same adaptive...
