message: I changed "England" to "Britain" as 'tiddler' is a common term throughout the island of great Britain not just in England. It has since been changed to UK (which should be THE United Kingdom, if at all) but I didn't use the UK because I cannot vouch for the term 'tiddler' being known in this context in Northern Ireland. Can someone confirm the situation in N Ireland otherwise this should be reverted to Britain.
Yes, I can confirm that tiddler is commonly used in Ireland but as for N.I. I am not sure  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.45.52.101 (talk) 12:04, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

message: Let me cite these lines from Ian Tattersall book 'Masters of the Planet, the search for our human origins', chapter five :
"it is well established that structurally small genetic changes can produce new adaptive types, and that such innovations can at least occasionally be evolutionarily advantageous. The classic example is furnished by the stickleback, a small fish that boasts sharp spines [...] that make it hard for predators to swallow. Some bottom-living sticklebacks, however, find those spines a distinct disadvantage - they can for example, be grabbed by dragonfly larvae anxious to feed on their possessors. As a result the bottom-livers have lost the spines apparently quite rapidly and recently. The modification is hardly trivial, involving as it does the elimination of an important part of a complex structure. But the major physical alteration has recently been shown to have occurred in the absence of any change in the coding genome. Instead, a small stretch of regulatory DNA has been deleted. This has left the basic gene intact to do its essential task, but it has eradicated the development of spines by reducing its activity in a specific area of the body."

message: i've shortened the last sentence that was repeating itself to this: Also, stickleback fish aftercare their offspring, which is unusual among other fish species. though i havent got checked if the information was correct. it'd be nice to add some info regarding how do they and for how long care for their offspring. 80.98.79.37 (talk) 20:40, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

An interesting article that I don't have the mental energy to work into the wikipedia page and will probably quickly forget about. Luxquine (talk) 10:34, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
