DOI: 10.1002/ece3.72099
Abstract: ABSTRACT Habitat fragmentation is a global challenge stemming from human‐induced change. As habitat fragmentation is expected to worsen over time, there is a need to identify organism traits that can predict population persistence within fragments.… read more here.

Salinity‐induced transcriptome profiles in marine and freshwater threespine stickleback after an abrupt 6‐hour exposure

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9395
Abstract: Abstract Saltwater and freshwater environments have opposing physiological challenges, yet, there are fish species that are able to enter both habitats during short time spans, and as individuals they must therefore adjust quickly to osmoregulatory… read more here.

Impact of the invasive three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) on relative abundance and growth of native pelagic whitefish (Coregonus wartmanni) in Upper Lake Constance

DOI: 10.1007/s10750-017-3479-6
Abstract: Since 2013, the pelagic zone of Upper Lake Constance (ULC) has been subject to a massive invasion of the non-native three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus Linnaeus, 1758). Data from monthly monitoring of pelagic whitefish (Coregonus wartmanni… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2020.105499
Abstract: Pharmaceutical substances are ubiquitous in the aquatic environment and their concentration levels typically range from ng/L up to several μg/L. Furthermore, as those compounds are designed to be highly biologically active, assessing their impacts on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0031182022000567
Abstract: Abstract Abstract The cestode Schistocephalus solidus is a common parasite in freshwater threespine stickleback populations, imposing strong fitness costs on their hosts. Given this, it is surprising how little is known about the timing and… read more here.

Abstract: On March 11, 2011, a large earthquake occurred, causing a tsunami which struck the Pacific coast of northeast Japan. We investigated the ecological and genetic effects of the large tsunami on the threespine stickleback (genus… read more here.

Predation cost of a sexual signal in the threespine stickleback

DOI: 10.1093/beheco/arx080
Abstract: Lay SummaryThe factors that limit sexual signal expression and ensure honest signaling of mate quality are poorly known. We show that predation risk is a cost of the sexually selected red coloration of the threespine… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evaf105
Abstract: Alternative splicing (AS) regulates which parts of a gene are kept in the messenger RNA and has long been appreciated as a mechanism to increase the diversity of the proteome within eukaryotic species. There is… read more here.

Freshwater Colonization, Adaptation, and Genomic Divergence in Threespine Stickleback

DOI: 10.1093/icb/icac071
Abstract: Abstract The Threespine Stickleback is ancestrally a marine fish, but many marine populations breed in fresh water (i.e., are anadromous), facilitating their colonization of isolated freshwater habitats a few years after they form. Repeated adaptation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2021.0205
Abstract: Intralocus sexually antagonistic selection occurs when an allele is beneficial to one sex but detrimental to the other. This form of selection is thought to be key to the evolution of sex chromosomes but is… read more here.

Sensory trait variation contributes to biased dispersal of threespine stickleback in flowing water
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Evolutionary Biology"
DOI: 10.1111/jeb.13035
Abstract: Gene flow is widely thought to homogenize spatially separate populations, eroding effects of divergent selection. The resulting theory of ‘migration–selection balance’ is predicated on a common assumption that all genotypes are equally prone to dispersal.… read more here.
