The contrasting distribution of species diversity across the major lineages of cichlids makes
them an ideal group for investigating macroevolutionary processes. In this study, we …

First multilocus analysis of the largest Neotropical cichlid genus Crenicichla combining
mitochondrial (cytb, ND2, 16S) and nuclear (S7 intron 1) genes and comprising 602 …

The mitogenomic evolution of old-world cichlids is still largely incomplete in Western Africa.
In this present study, the complete mitogenome of the Cameroon endemic cichlid, Coptodon …

The phylogeny of Petunia species has been difficult to resolve, primarily due to the recent
diversification of the genus. Several studies have included molecular data in phylogenetic …

The phenotypic, geographic, and species diversity of cichlid fishes have made them a group
of great interest for studying evolutionary processes. Here we present a targeted-exon next …

Evolution creates and sustains biodiversity via adaptive changes in ecologically relevant
traits. Ecologically mediated selection contributes to genetic divergence both in the …

Aim We present a molecular phylogenetic and biogeographical analysis of the
Mesoamerican cichlid fishes (Cichlidae: Cichlasomatinae: Heroini), a dominant part of the …

Trade-offs are thought to bias evolution and are core features of many anatomical systems.
Therefore, trade-offs may have far-reaching macroevolutionary consequences, including …

Abstract Knowledge shortfalls of the evolutionary history of bony fishes hamper
phylogenetically informed conservation approaches. To direct future research efforts and …

Studies of cichlid evolution have highlighted the importance of visual pigment genes in the
spectacular radiation of the African rift lake cichlids. Recent work, however, has also …
