Ultraconserved elements improve the resolution of difficult nodes within the rapid radiation of Neotropical sigmodontine rodents (Cricetidae: Sigmodontinae)
Abstract Sigmodontine rodents (Cricetidae, Sigmodontinae) represent the second largest
muroid subfamily and the most species-rich group of New World mammals, encompassing …

Habitat use, interspecific competition and phylogenetic history shape the evolution of claw and toepad morphology in Lesser Antillean anoles
Ecologically functional traits are the product of several, at times opposing, selective forces.
Thus, ecomorphological patterns can be disrupted locally by biotic interactions, such as …

Interspecific gene flow and mitochondrial genome capture during the radiation of Jamaican Anolis lizards (Squamata; Iguanidae)
Gene flow and reticulation are increasingly recognized as important processes in the
diversification of many taxonomic groups. With the increasing ease of collecting genomic …

Ecomorphological convergence in Eleutherodactylus frogs: a case of replicate radiations in the Caribbean
Replicate radiations, the repeated multiplication of species associated with ecological
divergence, have attracted much attention and generated as much debate. Due to the few …
