Fish communities face increasing anthropogenic pressures in freshwater and marine
ecosystems that modify their biodiversity and threaten the services they supply to human …

Coral reefs are renowned for their spectacular biodiversity and the close links between
fishes and corals. Despite extensive fossil records and common biogeographic histories, the …

We present mvmorph, a package of multivariate phylogenetic comparative methods for the r
statistical environment. mvmorph is freely available on the cran package repository …

Habitat complexity is one of the most important factors structuring biotic assemblages, yet we
still lack basic understanding of the underlying mechanisms. Although it is one of the primary …

A fundamental challenge to our understanding of biodiversity is to explain why some groups
of species undergo adaptive radiations, diversifying extensively into many and varied …

Spiny-rayed fishes (Acanthomorpha) dominate modern marine habitats and account for
more than a quarter of all living vertebrate species. Previous time-calibrated phylogenies …

The Southern Ocean around Antarctica is among the most rapidly warming regions on Earth,
but has experienced episodic climate change during the past 40 million years. It remains …

Colonization of novel habitats can result in marked phenotypic responses to the new
environment that include changes in body shape and opportunities for further morphological …

Tropical reef fishes are widely regarded as being perhaps the most morphologically diverse
vertebrate assemblage on earth, yet much remains to be discovered about the scope and …

Coral reef fishes represent one of the most spectacularly diverse assemblages of
vertebrates on the planet, but our understanding of their mode of diversification remains …
