![]() | Shapiro, Michael D. | Genetic architecture of skeletal convergence and sex determination in ninespine sticklebacks | The history of life offers plentiful examples of convergent evolution, the independent derivation of similar phenotypes in distinct lineages [1]. Convergent phenotypes among closely related lineages (frequently termed "parallel" evolution) are often assumed to result from changes in similar genes or... | Convergent evolution; Skeletal convergence; Pungitius pungitius; Gasterosteus aculeatus; Comparative genetics | 2009-07 |

![]() | Shapiro, Michael D. | Turnover of sex chromosomes in the stickleback fishes (Gastrosteidae) | Diverse sex-chromosome systems are found in vertebrates, particularly in teleost fishes, where different systems can be found in closely related species. Several mechanisms have been proposed for the rapid turnover of sex chromosomes, including the transposition of an existing sex-determination gen... | Sex determination; Gasterosteus aculeatus; Gasterosteus wheatlandi; Pungitius pungitius; Culaea inconstans; Apeltes quadracus; Gasterosteidae | 2009-02-20 |
