SticklebackPlates

Number of Lateral Plates in Sticklebacks

Description

Number of lateral plates (plates) in threespine sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) with three different Ectodysplasin genotypes (mm, Mm, and MM).

Format

A data frame with 344 observations on the following 2 variables.

genotype: a factor with levels mm, Mm, and MM
plates: number of plates
