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.

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 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.
