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 African cichlid fish radiations are the most diverse extant animal radiations and provide
a unique system to test predictions of speciation and adaptive radiation theory. The past few …

The hundreds of cichlid fish species in Lake Malawi constitute the most extensive recent
vertebrate adaptive radiation. Here we characterize its genomic diversity by sequencing 134 …

Although population genomic studies using next generation sequencing (NGS) data are
becoming increasingly common, studies focusing on phylogenetic inference using these …

The extraordinary species richness of freshwater fishes has attracted much research on
mechanisms and modes of speciation. We here review research on speciation in freshwater …

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 …

Understanding the rate at which new species form is a key question in studying the evolution
of life on earth. Here we review our current understanding of speciation rates, focusing on …

The cichlid fish radiations in the African Great Lakes differ from all other known cases of
rapid speciation in vertebrates by their spectacular trophic diversity and richness of …

Abstract With more than 3,000 species, the fish family Cichlidae is one of the most species-
rich families of vertebrates. Cichlids occur in southern and central America, Africa …

Lake Victoria cichlids are one of the most speciose groups of vertebrates. Selection on
coloration is likely playing an important role in their rapid speciation. To test the hypothesis …
