This study shows that dysregulated parental care in hybrid stickleback fish leads to reduced offspring survival, suggesting it acts as a postzygotic reproductive isolating mechanism.

This study investigates parallel evolution in paternal effects across threespined stickleback populations, finding consistent transgenerational plasticity responses to predators despite population-specific behavioral differences.

The paper compares reproductive strategies in stickleback ecotypes, showing how hormonal tradeoffs shape life history divergence through gene expression and androgen production differences.

This study investigates cannibalism in three-spined sticklebacks, finding that males cannibalize embryos from both their own and other males' broods, with differences in cannibalism rates between populations.

The paper identifies 11 brain areas important for social behavior in three-spined sticklebacks using comparative neuroanatomical landmarks and TH expression analysis.

The paper quantifies steroid hormone levels in two threespine stickleback ecotypes to show how androgen levels differ in relation to mating and parental care behaviors.

This study identifies discrete genetic modules underlying divergent reproductive strategies in three-spined stickleback, showing traits are genetically uncorrelated and map to different genomic regions.

This study examines genomic divergence between two sympatric marine stickleback ecotypes, finding widespread low differentiation and recent divergence with limited gene flow.

This paper introduces a minimally invasive brain injection technique for viral-mediated transgenesis in sticklebacks to study genetic effects on behavior.

The paper identifies conserved neurogenomic response toolkits across species using multi-species transcriptomic analysis and systems-level functional grouping.
