Among the species in the family Salmonidae, those represented by the genera Salmo,
Salvelinus, and Oncorhynchus (subfamily Salmoninae) are the most studied. Here, various …

Sympatric speciation, the evolution of reproductive isolation without geographic barriers,
remains highly contentious. As a result of new empirical examples and theory, it is now …

The salmonid arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus (L.) is one of the most widespread fishes in the
world and is found farther north than any other freshwater or diadromous fish, but also in …

Understanding the extent to which ecological divergence is repeatable is essential for
predicting responses of biodiversity to environmental change. Here we test the predictability …

The extensive phenotypic polymorphism in the European whitefish has triggered
evolutionary research in order to disentangle mechanisms underlying diversification. To …

Understanding how a monophyletic lineage of a species diverges into several adaptive
forms has received increased attention in recent years, but the underlying mechanisms in …

Understanding the contribution of different molecular processes to evolution and
development is crucial for identifying the mechanisms of adaptation. Here, we used RNA …

Combining morphological and genetic analysis, we compared patterns of diversification
within and between morphs among sympatric European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus L.) …

Gill raker divergence is a general pattern in adaptive radiations of postglacial fish, but few
studies have addressed the adaptive significance of this morphological trait in foraging and …

Three field‐identified whitefish Coregonus lavaretus forms in Lake Muddusjärvi, Finland,
were compared in morphology, diet and prey size. First, these forms were studied with …
