Did the benthic and limnetic stickleback in BC have a single origin?

Parallelism provides evidence of natural selection, but studies with pre-selected taxon pairs are likely biased. We demonstrate parallelism in an intercontinental study of #stickleback, without bias. Congratulations Isabel Magalhaes, @jimwhiting_sci , @DanDagostino_ et al.
Nice work Stu! This is an important result for #ecoimmunology
Our new paper is now online @Ecol_Evol: Relationships between immune gene expression and circulating cytokine levels in wild house mice (with @JFennBio, @ElenaArriero, @MacColl_Lab and others not on Twitter...)

A new paper by Jim Whiting shows for the first time that summer day length results in changes to immune function in fish and a reduced ability to resist a parasitic infection, probably as a consequence of inducing breeding condition royalsocietypublishing.org/d…
The MacColl lab has a new manuscript out, describing genomic parallelism across multiple adaptive radiations of stickleback in Alaska, British Columbia, Scotland and Iceland:
