The Great Lakes of East Africa are collectively the earth's most remarkable and species-rich
freshwater feature. Intrinsic biological factors and extrinsic ecological opportunities allowed …

Adaptive radiation is the rapid and extensive ecological diversification of an organismal
lineage to generate both phenotypic disparity (divergence) and similarity (convergence) …

The hundreds of cichlid fish species in Lake Malawi constitute the most extensive recent
vertebrate adaptive radiation. Here we characterize its genomic diversity by sequencing 134 …

The adaptive radiation of cichlid fishes in East African Lake Malawi encompasses over 500
species that are believed to have evolved within the last 800,000 years from a common …

True toads of the genus Rhinella are among the most common and diverse group of
Neotropical anurans. These toads are widely distributed throughout South America …

African cichlids formerly referred to as” Tilapia” represent a paraphyletic species
assemblage belonging to the so called haplotilapiine lineage which gave rise to the …

Abstract The subtribe Espeletiinae (Asteraceae), endemic to the high-elevations in the
Northern Andes, exhibits an exceptional diversity of species, growth-forms, and reproductive …

The study of genetic exchange resulting from natural hybridization, horizontal gene transfer,
and viral recombination has long been marked by controversy between researchers holding …

Adaptive radiation is thought to be responsible for the evolution of a great portion of the past
and present diversity of life. Instances of adaptive radiation, characterized by the rapid …

The process of adaptive radiation was classically hypothesized to require isolation of a
lineage from its source (no gene flow) and from related species (no competition) …
