Aquaculture is the fastest-growing farmed food sector and will soon become the primary
source of fish and shellfish for human diets. In contrast to crop and livestock production …

Abstract The Miocene epoch (23.03–5.33 Ma) was a time interval of global warmth, relative
to today. Continental configurations and mountain topography transitioned toward modern …

The germline mutation rate determines the pace of genome evolution and is an evolving
parameter itself. However, little is known about what determines its evolution, as most …

Landscape dynamics are widely thought to govern the tempo and mode of continental
radiations, yet the effects of river network rearrangements on dispersal and lineage …

Sturgeons seem to be frozen in time. The archaic characteristics of this ancient fish lineage
place it in a key phylogenetic position at the base of the~ 30,000 modern teleost fish …

The emergence of a new phylogeny of ray-finned fishes at the turn of the twenty-first century
marked a paradigm shift in understanding the evolutionary history of half of living …

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

Phylogenomic subsampling is a procedure by which small sets of loci are selected from
large genome-scale data sets and used for phylogenetic inference. This step is often …

Accurate species phylogenies are a prerequisite for all evolutionary research. Teleosts are
the largest and most diversified group of extant vertebrates, but relationships among their …

Numerous novel adaptations characterise the radiation of notothenioids, the dominant fish
group in the freezing seas of the Southern Ocean. To improve understanding of the …
