Searching for sympatric speciation in the genomic era

EJ Richards, MR Servedio, CH Martin - BioEssays, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Sympatric speciation illustrates how natural and sexual selection may create new species in
isolation without geographic barriers. However, recent genomic reanalyses of classic …

Contrasting signatures of genomic divergence during sympatric speciation

AF Kautt, CF Kratochwil, A Nater… - Nature, 2020 - nature.com
The transition from 'well-marked varieties' of a single species into 'well-defined species'—
especially in the absence of geographic barriers to gene flow (sympatric speciation)—has …

Parallelism in eco-morphology and gene expression despite variable evolutionary and genomic backgrounds in a Holarctic fish

A Jacobs, M Carruthers, A Yurchenko… - PLoS …, 2020 - journals.plos.org
Understanding the extent to which ecological divergence is repeatable is essential for

An intronic transposon insertion associates with a trans-species color polymorphism in Midas cichlid fishes

CF Kratochwil, AF Kautt, A Nater, A Härer… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
Polymorphisms have fascinated biologists for a long time, but their genetic underpinnings
often remain elusive. Here, we aim to uncover the genetic basis of the gold/dark …

Colour change and behavioural choice facilitate chameleon prawn camouflage against different seaweed backgrounds

SD Green, RC Duarte, E Kellett, N Alagaratnam… - Communications …, 2019 - nature.com
Camouflage is driven by matching the visual environment, yet natural habitats are rarely
uniform and comprise many backgrounds. Therefore, species often exhibit adaptive traits to …

Shape, colour plasticity, and habitat use indicate morph-specific camouflage strategies in a marine shrimp

RC Duarte, M Stevens, AAV Flores - BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2016 - Springer
Background Colour and shape polymorphisms are important features of many species and
may allow individuals to exploit a wider array of habitats, including through behavioural …

[图书][B] Sympatric and allopatric diversification in the adaptive radiations of Midas cichlids in Nicaraguan Lakes

J Torres-Dowdall, A Meyer - 2021 - Springer
Abstract The Nicaraguan Midas cichlid species complex is a natural experiment where fish
from a large source population from turbid and shallow great lakes very recently (< 20,000 …

Phenotypic and genotypic parallel evolution in parapatric ecotypes of Senecio

ME James, MJ Wilkinson, DM Bernal, H Liu… - …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
The independent and repeated adaptation of populations to similar environments often
results in the evolution of similar forms. This phenomenon creates a strong correlation …
