Genomic Signatures of Selection Are Enriched in Differentially Expressed Genes in Sticklebacks Adapting to Contrasting Environments
Abstract. Whole genome scans have identified numerous adaptive alleles in many species; however, linking these alleles to specific phenotypes remains a maj

How repeatable is natural selection over space and time? Using the California bar-built estuary system, we look at seasonal genomic change to examine local and widespread responses to natural selection 🐟🧬 🔗 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... @ecoevoevoeco.bsky.social @molecology.bsky.social
