The identification of thousands of variants across the genomes and their accurate
genotyping are crucial for estimating the genetic parameters needed to address a host of …

Although population genomic studies using next generation sequencing (NGS) data are
becoming increasingly common, studies focusing on phylogenetic inference using these …

Cichlid fishes are an excellent model system for studying speciation and the formation of
adaptive radiations because of their tremendous species richness and astonishing …

The trade‐offs of using single‐digest vs. double‐digest restriction site‐associated DNA
sequencing (RAD‐seq) protocols have been widely discussed. However, no direct empirical …

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 …

The genetic dissection of naturally occurring phenotypes sheds light on many fundamental
and longstanding questions in speciation and adaptation and is a central research topic in …

Restriction-site associated DNA sequencing (RADseq) has become a powerful and useful
approach for population genomics. Currently, no software exists that utilizes both paired-end …

Adaptive radiations are an important source of biodiversity and are often characterized by
many speciation events in very short succession. It has been proposed that the high …

Background Speciation often occurs in complex or uncertain temporal and spatial contexts.
Processes such as reinforcement, allopatric divergence, and assortative mating can proceed …

Abstract The lower Congo River is a freshwater biodiversity hot spot in Africa characterized
by some of the world's largest rapids. However, little is known about the evolutionary forces …
