The cost of DNA sequencing continues to fall, which makes it feasible to develop genomic
resources for new model species that are well suited for studying questions in evolutionary …

The geography of speciation has long been contentious. In recent years, phylogenetic
approaches have been proposed to determine the geographical mode of speciation. If …

In recent years, scientists have realized that evolution can occur on timescales much shorter
than the" long lapse of ages" emphasized by Darwin—in fact, evolutionary change is …

Recent studies have increasingly demonstrated the widespread existence of spatio-
temporal variations in the abundance and distribution of species of freshwater fishes …

Human impacts on the world's oceans have been substantial, leading to concerns about the
extinction of marine taxa. We have compiled 133 local, regional and global extinctions of …

Although highly variable loci, such as microsatellite loci, are revolutionizing both
evolutionary and conservation biology, data from these loci need to be carefully evaluated …

Spatial behaviour of fishes in fresh and brackish water ranges in temporal scales between
localized diel movements, often associated with foraging and predator evasion, to seasonal …

Cichlid fishes are amazing creatures. In terms of sheer number of species, they are the most
successful of all families of vertebrate animals, and the extent and speed with which they …

Cichlid fishes constitute one of the most species-rich families of vertebrates. In addition to
complex social behaviour and morphological versatility, they are characterised by extensive …

The endemic cichlid fishes of Lakes Malawi, Tanganyika and Victoria are textbook examples
of explosive speciation and adaptive radiation, and their study promises to yield important …
