Adaptive radiation refers to diversification from an ancestral species that produces
descendants adapted to use a great variety of distinct ecological niches. In this review, I …

Time‐dependent rates of molecular evolution
For over half a century, it has been known that the rate of morphological evolution appears
to vary with the time frame of measurement. Rates of microevolutionary change, measured …

Ancient hybridization fuels rapid cichlid fish adaptive radiations
Understanding why some evolutionary lineages generate exceptionally high species
diversity is an important goal in evolutionary biology. Haplochromine cichlid fishes of Africa's …

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 …

The genomic substrate for adaptive radiation in African cichlid fish
Cichlid fishes are famous for large, diverse and replicated adaptive radiations in the Great
Lakes of East Africa. To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying cichlid …

Cycles of fusion and fission enabled rapid parallel adaptive radiations in African cichlids
Although some lineages of animals and plants have made impressive adaptive radiations
when provided with ecological opportunity, the propensities to radiate vary profoundly …

Phylogenomics uncovers early hybridization and adaptive loci shaping the radiation of Lake Tanganyika cichlid fishes
Lake Tanganyika is the oldest and phenotypically most diverse of the three East African
cichlid fish adaptive radiations. It is also the cradle for the younger parallel haplochromine …

[图书][B] Historical biogeography of Neotropical freshwater fishes
The fish faunas of continental South and Central America constitute one of the greatest
concentrations of aquatic diversity on Earth, consisting of about 10 percent of all living …

Speciation through sensory drive in cichlid fish
Theoretically, divergent selection on sensory systems can cause speciation through sensory
drive. However, empirical evidence is rare and incomplete. Here we demonstrate sensory …

[HTML][HTML] Constraints on the timescale of animal evolutionary history
Dating the tree of life is a core endeavor in evolutionary biology. Rates of evolution are
fundamental to nearly every evolutionary model and process. Rates need dates. There is …
