Parallel adaptation to geothermally-warmed habitats due to common structural variation and functional developmental pathways

This study identifies parallel genomic mechanisms, including structural variation and functional pathways, in geothermally warmed stickleback populations adapting to increased temperatures.

Energetic misfires: Hybridization drives transgressive expression in metabolic pathways in thermally divergent Icelandic stickleback

This study examines hybridization effects on gene expression in Icelandic stickleback ecotypes under different temperatures, finding transgressive expression disrupting metabolic networks.
