Lake size is associated with the relationship between body mass and gut microbiota alpha diversity in threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus)

Lake size is associated with ecological conditions that can affect the microbiome of hosts, such as diet and habitat characteristics. However, whether host-microbe interactions are affected by lake size remains poorly understood. We characterized the gut microbiota of 191 wild th...

Rates of Evolution Differ Between Cell Types Identified by Single‐Cell RNAseq in Threespine Stickleback

ABSTRACT Rates of evolutionary change vary by gene. While some broad gene categories are highly conserved with little divergence over time, others undergo continuous selection pressure and are highly divergent among populations or species. But such comparative evolutionary studie...
