ML Reyes1 and SA Foster1 The postglacial adaptive radiation of the threespine stickleback fish (Gasterosteus aculeatus) has been widely used to investigate the roles of both adaptive evolution and plasticity in behavioral and morphological divergence from the ancestral condition represented by present-day...
Stickleback have been used for research for over 150 years, in diverse fields including genetics, behavior, evolution, immunology, neurobiology, toxicology, ecology, development, microbiology, and more. Genetic and phenotypic diversity Stickleback inhabit diverse marine and freshwater environments across thre...

with the correct measurement of predictor variables, the outcome of evolution can be similarly forecast at both the phenotypic and genetic levels. If, on the other hand, chance historical events or other idiosyncratic effects are the stronger determinants of evolution, parallelism should be low; in ...

differences between lake and stream stickleback include both parallel and antiparallel components D Hanson, J Hu, AP Hendry and RDH Barrett The repeated phenotypic patterns that characterize populations undergoing parallel evolution provide support for a deterministic role of adaptation by natural selection....
