Parallel Genetic Basis for Repeated Evolution of Armor Loss in Alaskan Threespine Stickleback Populations

Most adaptation is thought to occur through the fixation of numerous alleles at many different loci. Consequently, the independent evolution of similar phenotypes is predicted to occur through different genetic mechanisms. The genetic basis of adaptation is still largely unknown, however, and it is...
