TL;DR: A high-quality reference genome assembly for threespine stickleback fish is developed and it is indicated that reuse of globally shared standing genetic variation has an important role in repeated evolution of distinct marine and freshwater sticklebacks, and in the maintenance of divergent ecotypes during early stages of reproductive isolation.

Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive Evolution of Pelvic Reduction in Sticklebacks by Recurrent Deletion of a Pitx1 Enhancer
Yingguang Frank Chan,Melissa E. Marks,Felicity C. Jones,Guadalupe Villarreal,Michael D. Shapiro,Shannon D. Brady,Audrey Southwick,Devin Absher,Jane Grimwood,Jeremy Schmutz,Richard M. Myers,Dmitri A. Petrov,Bjarni Jónsson,Dolph Schluter,Michael A. Bell,David M. Kingsley +15 more
TL;DR: These studies illustrate how major expression and morphological changes can arise from single mutational leaps in natural populations, producing new adaptive alleles via recurrent regulatory alterations in a key developmental control gene.
Journal ArticleDOI
A role for a neo-sex chromosome in stickleback speciation
Jun Kitano,Joseph A. Ross,Joseph A. Ross,Joseph A. Ross,Seiichi Mori,Manabu Kume,Felicity C. Jones,Yingguang Frank Chan,Devin Absher,Devin Absher,Jane Grimwood,Jane Grimwood,Jeremy Schmutz,Jeremy Schmutz,Richard M. Myers,Richard M. Myers,David M. Kingsley,Catherine L. Peichel +17 more
TL;DR: It is shown that a newly evolved sex chromosome contains genes that contribute to speciation in threespine stickleback fish (Gasterosteus aculeatus) and indicates that sex-chromosome turnover might have a greater role in speciation than was previously appreciated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetics of ecological divergence during speciation

TL;DR: It is shown that multiple, unlinked loci act largely additively to determine position along the major niche axis separating these recently diverged species and it is found that functional mismatch between phenotypic traits reduces the growth of some stickleback hybrids beyond that expected from an intermediate phenotype.
