Multiple repeated patterns of adaptive radiation were revealed in cyprinid fish inhabiting the
compact geographic region of the Ethiopian Highlands. We found four independently …

It has long been recognized that presence–absence, localisation, size, number and shape of
fish scales can be important taxonomic features. Although there are some notes on the …

Understanding why some clades diversify greatly while others do not is a major goal of
evolutionary biology. Both abiotic and biotic factors are important in driving unequal …

Trophic resource partitioning is one of the main ecological mechanisms of adaptive
radiation. The Garra is a highly specialized periphyton feeder that has widened jaws …

Five ecologically and phenotypically divergent ecomorphs of the genus Salmo are known
from a landlocked alpine lake in the Caucasus, Lake Sevan. It is an example of sympatric …

Adaptive radiation of freshwater fishes was long thought to be possible only in lacustrine
environments. Recently, several studies have shown that riverine and stream environments …

Adaptive radiation in fishes has been actively investigated over the last decades. Along with
numerous well‐studied cases of lacustrine radiation, some examples of riverine sympatric …

The phenomenon of a massive vertebral deformity was recorded in the radiating
Labeobarbus assemblage from the middle reaches of the Genale River (south-eastern …

Trophic resource partitioning is one of the main drivers of adaptive radiation. The
evolutionary diversification of large African barbs, the genus Labeobarbus, seems to be …

The reconstruction of regional fauna history is very important in the context of recent climate
change and anthropogenic transformation. We analyzed the mitochondrial nd1 gene …
