| Summary |
Highlighting the growing importance of the sticklebacks as a model species in emerging fields like molecular genetics, genomics, and environmental toxicology, this is the first comprehensive review of this important fish in biological research in more than a decade. This state-of-the-art volume provides reviews from active researchers who use studies of the stickleback to address a wide range of biological issues. Providing cutting-edge data, it presents what is currently known about the geographic and genetic variation within each genus and species of stickleback fish and explores the possibi |
