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.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-20075-z
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.

Freshwater Colonization, Adaptation, and Genomic Divergence in Threespine Stickleback
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Integrative and Comparative Biology"
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.

Searching for signatures of sexually antagonistic selection on stickleback sex chromosomes

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.

DOI: 10.1111/jfb.15107
Abstract: Abstract As climate change progresses, thermal stress is expected to alter the way that host organisms respond to infections by pathogens and parasites, with consequences for the fitness and therefore population processes of both host… read more here.

Similarities in temperature‐dependent gene expression plasticity across timescales in threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Molecular Ecology"
DOI: 10.1111/mec.14591
Abstract: Phenotypic plasticity occurs at a variety of timescales, but little is known about the degree to which plastic responses at different timescales are associated with similar underlying molecular processes, which is critical for assessing the… read more here.
