The genomics of postglacial vicariance and freshwater adaptations in European subarctic threespine sticklebacks

Marine threespine sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) have colonized numerous freshwater lakes since the last ice age. The loss of body armor, such as reduced pelvic spines and lateral plate numbers, is a recurrent feature upon freshwater colonization and is attributed to parallel evolution. This...
