Phenotype‐environment correlations in a putative whitefish adaptive radiation

C Harrod, J Mallela, KK Kahilainen - Journal of Animal Ecology, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
The adaptive radiation of fishes into benthic (littoral) and pelagic (lentic) morphs in post‐

Morphological differentiation and resource polymorphism in three sympatric whitefish Coregonus lavaretus(L.) forms in a subarctic lake

K Kahilainen, K Østbye - Journal of Fish Biology, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Sympatric diversification as influenced by ecological opportunity and historical contingency in a young species lineage of whitefish

A Siwertsson, R Knudsen, K Kahilainen, K Præbel… - 2010 - munin.uit.no
In adaptive radiations, ecological opportunity (ie niche availability) is considered to be an
important driver to increase phenotypic variation, but diversity may also be constrained by …
