Heterochronic development of lateral plates in the three-spined stickleback induced by thyroid hormone level alterations

The three-spined stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus is an important model for studying microevolution and parallel adaptation to freshwater environments. Marine and freshwater forms differ markedly in their phenotype, especially in the number of lateral plates, which are serially repeated elements o...
