Genetics of adaptation: Experimental test of a biotic mechanism driving divergence in traits and genes

Abstract The genes underlying adaptations are becoming known, yet the causes of selection on genes—a key step in the study of the genetics of adaptation—remains uncertain. We address this issue experimentally in a threespine stickleback species pair showing exaggerated divergence in bony defensive a...
