This study examines parallel evolution of nuclear OXPHOS genes in threespine stickleback across freshwater populations and identifies mitonuclear evolutionary coupling in specific functional modules.

The paper investigates immune variation in threespine stickleback populations by analyzing fibrosis responses to parasites and environmental factors.

This study examines metabolome variation in threespine stickleback across populations, showing both genetic and environmental influences on liver metabolites.

This study introduces >12,000 threespine stickleback into nine lakes to test if environmental matching or intrinsic population traits predict introduction success, finding intrinsic traits are more important.

This study shows that lake size influences how body mass relates to gut microbiota diversity in threespine stickleback fish, with intermediate-sized lakes showing the most diverse microbiota.

The paper examines how metabolic stability relates to thermal tolerance in two ecotypes of threespine stickleback fish, finding that benthic ecotypes show greater AS stability and survival across temperatures.

Hi-reComb estimates recombination maps from bulk gamete Hi-C data, showing accurate results in fish sperm and enabling structural variant analysis.

This study examines how heritable and environmental factors influence innate immunity in threespine stickleback across different populations and tank environments.

The study investigates whether quorum sensing influences egg hatching in Schistocephalus solidus, finding no density-dependent hatching but confirming lower hatching rates for selfed eggs.

The paper develops a droplet digital PCR assay to detect and quantify rare helminth parasites in environmental samples, demonstrating its sensitivity and applicability across multiple helminth systems.

The paper introduces snQTL, a network-based method to map QTLs affecting gene co-expression networks, demonstrating its effectiveness in stickleback data by uncovering missed candidate genes.

The paper evaluates DNAm methods and software across technical and biological replicates, finding newer tools outperform Bismark and highlighting RRBS's utility for detecting functionally relevant methylation differences.

The paper experimentally studies host-parasite dynamics in newly founded stickleback populations, finding destabilized infection rates and rapid eco-evolutionary responses.

This paper presents the de novo genome and transcriptome of the Japanese rhinoceros beetle Trypoxylus dichotomus, providing comprehensive genomic resources for evolutionary and functional studies.
