(1987) summarized four maj or phylogeographic categories and inferred the microevolutionary processes responsible for generating them: (1) phylogenetic discontinuities associated with spatial separation of populations involve long-term barriers to gene flow (i.e., allopatric or microallopatric processes); (2) phylogenetic discontinuities without spatial separation of populations imply either secondary contact between historically allopatric taxa or sympatric divergence; (3) phylogenetic continuity despite spatial separation is consistent with limited gene flow among taxa; and (4) phylogenetic continuity and lack of spatial separation result from extensive gene flow among taxa.

Although the co-existence of reproductively isolated anadromous and resident freshwater threespine sticklebacks is common in streams throughout its range (McPhail, 1994; McKinnon and Rundle, 2002), the existence of such sympatric threespine stickleback species pairs in lakes is relatively rare (Ziuganov et al, 1987; Mori, 1990; Higuchi et al., 1996; von Hippel and Weigner, 2004; Karve et al, 2008; Gelmond et al., 2009; Weigner and von Hippel, 2010; Lescak et al, 2015).
