Examples of parallel evolution have been crucial for our understanding of adaptation via
natural selection. However, strong parallelism is not always observed even in seemingly …

Predation exerts strong selection pressure on morphological traits and is often studied in
freshwater fishes. A common morphological ecophenotype driven by predation from pursuit …

Male genitalia present an extraordinary pattern of rapid divergence in animals with internal
fertilization, which is usually attributed to sexual selection. However, the effect of ecological …

Major evolutionary innovations can greatly influence subsequent evolution. While many
major transitions occurred in the deep past, male live-bearing fishes (family Poeciliidae) …

The concept of adaptive divergence is based on the assumption that populations adapting to
different environmental conditions will evolve distinct trait values, in such a way that …

A predação é um fator que só recentemente foi considerado relevante para a diversificação
morfológica da genitália masculina. As hipóteses deste trabalho baseiam-se no fato de que …
