Adaptive radiation, ecological opportunity, and evolutionary determinism: American Society of Naturalists EO Wilson Award address

JB Losos - The American Naturalist, 2010 - journals.uchicago.edu
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

SYW Ho, R Lanfear, L Bromham, MJ Phillips… - Molecular …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
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

JI Meier, DA Marques, S Mwaiko, CE Wagner… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com

Lakes of East Africa. To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying cichlid …

Cycles of fusion and fission enabled rapid parallel adaptive radiations in African cichlids

JI Meier, MD McGee, DA Marques, S Mwaiko, M Kishe… - Science, 2023 - science.org

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

I Irisarri, P Singh, S Koblmüller… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
Lake Tanganyika is the oldest and phenotypically most diverse of the three East African

Speciation through sensory drive in cichlid fish

O Seehausen, Y Terai, IS Magalhaes, KL Carleton… - Nature, 2008 - nature.com
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

MJ Benton, PCJ Donoghue, RJ Asher, M Friedman… - 2015 - palaeo-electronica.org
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 …
