THE ECOLOGY OF ASYMMETRY IN STICKLEBACK DEFENSE STRUCTURES [PDF]
Evolution, 2009 Slight departures from bilateral symmetry are usually associated with reduced fitness. Here we show that an insular freshwater population of Gasterosteus aculeatus exhibits spatial and temporal segregation according to the incidence and direction of asymmetry in the number of bony lateral plates, which are important predator-defense structures.

Selection for altruistic defense in structured populations [PDF]
Theoretical Population Biology, 2019 Abstract We model natural selection for or against an anti-parasite (or anti-predator) defense allele in a host (or prey) population that is structured into many demes. The defense behavior has a fitness cost for the actor compared to non defenders (“cheaters”) in the same deme and locally reduces parasite growth rates.
