Whole-genome sequences of Malawi cichlids reveal multiple radiations interconnected by gene flow
The hundreds of cichlid fish species in Lake Malawi constitute the most extensive recent
vertebrate adaptive radiation. Here we characterize its genomic diversity by sequencing 134 …

Visual opsin gene expression evolution in the adaptive radiation of cichlid fishes of Lake Tanganyika
Tuning the visual sensory system to the ambient light is essential for survival in many animal
species. This is often achieved through duplication, functional diversification, and/or …

Contrasting host-parasite population structure: morphology and mitogenomics of a parasitic flatworm on pelagic deepwater cichlid fishes from Lake Tanganyika
Simple Summary Species richness in open water areas is generally lower than in coastal
zones. Fish parasites have been targeted as biological tags potentially magnifying biological …

Mapping epigenetic divergence in the massive radiation of Lake Malawi cichlid fishes
Epigenetic variation modulates gene expression and can be heritable. However, knowledge
of the contribution of epigenetic divergence to adaptive diversification in nature remains …

Genomic signatures of local adaptation to the degree of environmental predictability in rotifers
Environmental fluctuations are ubiquitous and thus essential for the study of adaptation.
Despite this, genome evolution in response to environmental fluctuations—and more …

Repeated Divergence in Opsin Gene Expression Mirrors Photic Habitat Changes in Rapidly Evolving Crater Lake Cichlid Fishes
Selection pressures differ along environmental gradients, and traits tightly linked to fitness
(eg, the visual system) are expected to track such variation. Along gradients, adaptation to …
