Summarize Argument: Phenomenon-Hypothesis
The author hypothesizes that a lake stickleback’s having a larger size is a better defense against its predators than having armor.

Notable Assumptions
The author assumes that lake stickleback are larger than ocean stickleback. In addition, the author assumes that the need to protect from its predators is the reason lake stickleback are larger and lack armor.
