  1. ncbi Niche specialization influences adaptive phenotypic plasticity in the threespine stickleback
    Richard Svanback
    Biodiversity Research Centre and Department of Zoology, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia V6T 1Z4, Canada
    Am Nat 180:50-9. 2012
    ..Our data indicate that plasticity can evolve rapidly after colonization of a new environment in response to changing niche use...
  2. ncbi Linking cranial kinematics, buccal pressure, and suction feeding performance in largemouth bass
    Richard Svanback
    Section of Evolution and Ecology, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, USA
    Physiol Biochem Zool 75:532-43. 2002
    ..These findings are consistent with other recent data and suggest that suction distance is a poor metric of suction feeding performance...

    Richard Svanback
    Department of Ecology and Genetics Limnology, University of Uppsala, Uppsala, Sweden
    Evolution 65:3515-26. 2011
    ..This may be a response to UV-stress. Overall, our results suggest that predation can be a strong selective agent on pigmentation differences among conspecifics occupying different habitats...
