“…These results were also modulated within lakes by depth, a proxy for optical environment (Bolnick et al 2016;Brock et al, 2017a;Brock, Bolnick, & Cummings, 2017b). Threespine stickleback males display color polymorphism at multiple geographic scales (Reimchen 1989;Boughman, 2001;Scott, 2001;Brock et al, 2017a;Brock, Bolnick, & Cummings, 2017b;Marques, Lucek et al, 2017;Marques, Taylor et al, 2017). As these color phenotypes typically covary with features of the optical environment, sensory drive theory is commonly invoked to explain the maintenance of multiple color phenotypes (Reimchen 1989;Boughman, 2001;Scott, 2001;Brock et al, 2017a;Brock, Bolnick, & Cummings, 2017b;Marques, Lucek et al, 2017;Marques, Taylor et al, 2017).…”
