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 …

Biologists have long been fascinated by the exceptionally high diversity displayed by some
evolutionary groups. Adaptive radiation in such clades is not only spectacular, but is also an …

Pérez-Losada, M., JT Hoeg, and KA Crandall. 2004. Unravelling the evolutionary radiation
of the Thoracian barnacles using molecular and morphological evidence: A comparison of …

Ecologically mediated selection against hybrids, caused by hybrid phenotypes fitting poorly
into available niches, is typically viewed as distinct from selection caused by epistatic …

African cichlid fishes have repeatedly evolved highly specialized modes of feeding through
adaptations of their oral jaws. Here, we explore the molecular genetic basis of the opening …

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

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

We described the developmental stages for the embryonic, larval and early juvenile periods
of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus to elucidate sequential events of craniofacial …

Background How particular changes in functional morphology can repeatedly promote
ecological diversification is an active area of evolutionary investigation. The African rift-lake …

No region of our anatomy more powerfully conveys our emotions nor elicits more profound
reactions when disease or genetic disorders disfigure it than the face. Recent progress has …
