The cost of DNA sequencing continues to fall, which makes it feasible to develop genomic
resources for new model species that are well suited for studying questions in evolutionary …

Otolith microchemistry can provide valuable information about stock structure and mixing
patterns when the magnitude of environmental differences among areas is greater than the …

Cichlid fishes are amazing creatures. In terms of sheer number of species, they are the most
successful of all families of vertebrate animals, and the extent and speed with which they …

Cichlid fishes constitute one of the most species-rich families of vertebrates. In addition to
complex social behaviour and morphological versatility, they are characterised by extensive …

The endemic cichlid fishes of Lakes Malawi, Tanganyika and Victoria are textbook examples
of explosive speciation and adaptive radiation, and their study promises to yield important …

▪ Abstract Cichlid fishes (Perciformes: Teleostei) found in the lakes of Africa have served as
model systems for the study of evolution. The enormous number of species (1000 in Lake …

We use individual‐based stochastic simulations and analytical deterministic predictions to
investigate the interaction between drift, natural selection and gene flow on the patterns of …

Rapid evolutionary radiations provide insight into the fundamental processes involved in
species formation. Here we examine the diversification of one such group, the cichlid fishes …

The genetic basis of parallel evolution of similar species is of great interest in evolutionary
biology. In the adaptive radiation of Lake Victoria cichlid fishes, sister species with either …

The question of how genetic variation translates into organismal diversity has puzzled
biologists for decades. Despite recent advances in evolutionary and developmental …
