A recent paper by García-Elfring, Paccard & Barrett documents genomic differentiation between marine & freshwater threespine stickleback populations across Atlantic Canada, revealing signatures of parallel adaptation despite differences in population history. Read the paper: doi.org/10.1093/gbe/...

Hey stickleback researchers: a quick reminder that there is a slack channel to connect with colleagues and potential collaborators, seek advice, etc. It is very creatively called "Stickleslack". Reach out to @sticklestock.bsky.social or @ksamuk.bsky.social to get added to the channel!
