Adaptive radiations represent some of the most remarkable explosions of diversification
across the tree of life. However, the constraints to rapid diversification and how they are …

To understand mechanisms structuring diversity in young adaptive radiations, quantitative
and unbiased information about genetic and phenotypic diversity is much needed. Here, we …

The Alpine lake whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) species complex is a classic example of a
recent radiation, associated with colonization of the Alpine lakes following the glacial retreat …

Studying recent adaptive radiations in isolated insular systems avoids complicating causal
events and thus may offer clearer insight into mechanisms generating biological diversity …

Under the ecological theory of adaptive radiation, adaptation and reproductive isolation are
thought to evolve as a result of divergent natural selection. Accordingly, elucidating the …

Adaptive radiations in postglacial fish offer excellent settings to study the evolutionary
mechanisms involved in the rapid buildup of sympatric species diversity from a single …

Ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss are major global challenges. When
reproductive isolation between species is contingent on the interaction of intrinsic lineage …

Species diversity can be lost through two different but potentially interacting extinction
processes: demographic decline and speciation reversal through introgressive …

The process of adaptive radiation was classically hypothesized to require isolation of a
lineage from its source (no gene flow) and from related species (no competition) …

Adaptive radiation is the evolution of ecological and phenotypical diversity. It arises via
ecological opportunity that promotes the exploration of underutilized or novel niches …
