Sympatric speciation illustrates how natural and sexual selection may create new species in
isolation without geographic barriers. However, recent genomic reanalyses of classic …

The first goal of this paper was to overview modern approaches to local adaptation, with a
focus on the use of population genomics data to detect signals of natural selection in fishes …

Cichlid fishes are exceptionally species-rich, speciated at explosive rates and, hence, are a
model system in speciation research. Yet, their reproductive isolating barriers have, so far …

The characiform fishes of the Neotropics and Africa radiated remarkably in ecomorphology,
but the macroevolutionary processes responsible for their biodiversity remain unexplored …

Parallel adaptive radiations have arisen following the colonization of islands by lizards and
lakes by fishes. In these classic examples, parallel adaptive radiation is a response to the …

Background Glycosyltransferases comprise a highly divergent and polyphyletic multigene
family that is involved in widespread modification of plant secondary metabolites in a …

This book is a unique cross fertilization of aquatic ecology and aquaculture. It shows how
diets structure the digestive tract and its microbiota and, in turn, the microbiota influences life …

Explaining why some lineages diversify while others do not and how are key objectives in
evolutionary biology. Young radiations of closely related species derived from the same …

Abstract The Nicaraguan Midas cichlid species complex is a natural experiment where fish
from a large source population from turbid and shallow great lakes very recently (< 20,000 …

The Crenicichla mandelburgeri species complex from the Middle Paraná basin is a diverse
group of cichlid species and contains all known ecomorphs found within the entire genus …
