Habitat-specific morphological variation among threespine sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) within a drainage basin.

Habitat-specific morphological variation, often corresponding to resource specialization, is well documented in freshwater fishes. In this study we used landmark based morphometric analyses to investigate morphological variation among threespine sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus L.) from four int...
