Whole-genome duplication in teleost fishes and its evolutionary consequences
SMK Glasauer, SCF Neuhauss - Molecular genetics and genomics, 2014 - Springer
Whole-genome duplication (WGD) events have shaped the history of many evolutionary
lineages. One such duplication has been implicated in the evolution of teleost fishes, by far …

Whole-genome sequences of Malawi cichlids reveal multiple radiations interconnected by gene flow
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 …

Proximate and ultimate causes of variable visual sensitivities: insights from cichlid fish radiations
Animals vary in their sensitivities to different wavelengths of light. Sensitivity differences can
have fitness implications in terms of animals' ability to forage, find mates, and avoid …

Visual opsin gene expression evolution in the adaptive radiation of cichlid fishes of Lake Tanganyika
Tuning the visual sensory system to the ambient light is essential for survival in many animal
species. This is often achieved through duplication, functional diversification, and/or …

Molecular evolution of ultraviolet visual opsins and spectral tuning of photoreceptors in anemonefishes (Amphiprioninae)
Many animals including birds, reptiles, insects, and teleost fishes can see ultraviolet (UV)
light (shorter than 400 nm), which has functional importance for foraging and …

Divergent positive selection in rhodopsin from lake and riverine cichlid fishes
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 …

Evolution of the visual sensory system in cichlid fishes from crater lake Barombi Mbo in Cameroon
Z Musilova, A Indermaur, AR Bitja‐Nyom… - Molecular …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
In deep‐water animals, the visual sensory system is often challenged by the dim‐light
environment. Here, we focus on the molecular mechanisms involved in rapid deep‐water …

Light sensing by opsins and fungal ecology: NOP‐1 modulates entry into sexual reproduction in response to environmental cues
Understanding the genetic basis of the switch from asexual to sexual lifestyles in response
to sometimes rapid environmental changes is one of the major challenges in fungal ecology …

Variation in opsin genes correlates with signalling ecology in N orth A merican fireflies
SE Sander, DW Hall - Molecular ecology, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Genes underlying signal reception should evolve to maximize signal detection in a particular
environment. In animals, opsins, the protein component of visual pigments, are predicted to …

Nectar-feeding bats and birds show parallel molecular adaptations in sugar metabolism enzymes
In most vertebrates, the demand for glucose as the primary substrate for cellular respiration
is met by the breakdown of complex carbohydrates, or energy is obtained by protein and …
