Dorsal spine evolution in threespine sticklebacks via a splicing change in MSX2A

BACKGROUND: Dorsal spine reduction in threespine sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) is a classic example of recurrent skeletal evolution in nature. Sticklebacks in marine environments typically have long spines that form part of their skeletal armor. Many derived freshwater populations have evolv...
