Table 2 Associations among the three lateral plate stickleback morphs in Lake Engervann and the Stn382 - Ectodysplasin genotypes. - denotes lack of observations of the specified Stn382 - Ectodysplasin genotype in the complete- and lowplated morphs, respectively

From: Ongoing niche differentiation under high gene flow in a polymorphic brackish water threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) population
