DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9716
Abstract: Abstract The context and cause of adaptive radiations have been widely described and explored but why rapid evolutionary diversification does not occur in related evolutionary lineages has yet to be understood. The standard answer is… read more here.

The short-term stress response of three-spined sticklebacks to climate-related stressors: a mesocosm study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Hydrobiologia"
DOI: 10.1007/s10750-020-04393-w
Abstract: Fish in northern European lakes must cope with climate change, including frequent extreme weather events, and eutrophication. In terrestrial vertebrates the disruption of local environmental stability can evoke a stress response, with potentially adverse outcomes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11356-021-16783-1
Abstract: Sticklebacks (Gasterosteiformes) are increasingly used in ecological and evolutionary research and have become well established as role model species for biologists. However, ecotoxicology studies concerning behavioural effects in sticklebacks regarding stress responses, mainly induced by… 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: 10.1016/j.cbpa.2017.03.005
Abstract: In vertebrates, aralkylamine N-acetyltransferase (AANAT; EC 2.3.1.87) is a time-keeping enzyme in melatonin (Mel) biosynthesis. Uniquely in fish, there are several AANAT isozymes belonging to two AANAT subfamilies, AANAT1 and AANAT2, which are encoded by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2018.06.008
Abstract: Stickleback fishes in the family Gasterosteidae have become model organisms in ecology and evolutionary biology. However, even in the case of the most widely studied species in this family - the three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2019.106646
Abstract: Incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) can lead to biased divergence time estimates. To explore if and how ILS has influenced the results of a recent study of worldwide phylogeny of three-spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus), we estimated… read more here.

Adaptive and non-adaptive divergence in a common landscape

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-00256-6
Abstract: Species in a common landscape often face similar selective environments. The capacity of organisms to adapt to these environments may be largely species specific. Quantifying shared and unique adaptive responses across species within landscapes may… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsif.2018.0571
Abstract: For fish, there can be multiple consequences of parasitic infections, including the physical impacts on swimming and the pathological costs of infection. This study used the three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) and the ectoparasitic fish louse,… read more here.
