Marine lakes, with populations in landlocked seawater and clearly delineated contours,
have the potential to provide a unique model to study early stages of evolution in coastal …

Aim Studying clearly delineated populations in marine lakes, islands of sea, we investigated
the interplay of habitat size, dispersal potential, and priority effects in shaping marine …

Striking genetic structure among marine populations at small spatial scales is becoming
evident with extensive molecular studies. Such observations suggest isolation at small …

Marine lakes in the Palau Islands are known to harbor unique marine fauna that have
remained isolated since the formation of the lakes after the Last Glacial Maximum. We …

Although studies of ancient lake fauna have provided important insights about speciation
patterns and processes of organisms in heterogeneous benthic environments, evolutionary …

Freshwater shrimps of the genus Caridina are the most speciose group within the family
Atyidae. This diversity can be witnessed in two ancient lake systems of the Indonesian island …

Marine lakes are bodies of seawater that are land-locked and maintain a subterranean
connection to the surrounding sea. Here, we document the species diversity of benthic …

An increasing volume of empirical studies demonstrated that hybridization between distant
lineages may have promoted speciation in various taxa. However, the timing, extent and …

Recent discoveries of deep-sea mussel species from reducing environments have revealed
a much broader phylogenetic diversity than previously imagined. In this study, we utilize a …

Ancient lakes are natural laboratories for the study of adaptive radiation. Recently, two lake
systems on the Indonesian island Sulawesi have emerged as promising new model …
