Diversification of cephalic shield shape and antenna in phyllosoma I of slipper and spiny lobsters (Decapoda: Achelata)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Slipper (Scyllaridae) and spiny (Palinuridae) lobsters show a complex life cycle with a planktonic larval phase, named phyllosoma. This unique larval form within Achelata (Decapoda) is characterized by a transparent dorsoventrally compressed body and a ...

The interactive effects of environmental gradient and dispersal shape spatial phylogenetic patterns

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
IntroductionThe emergence and maintenance of biodiversity include interacting environmental conditions, organismal adaptation to such conditions, and dispersal.

Chromosomal Radiation: A model to explain karyotypic diversity in cryptic species [PDF]

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2023
We present a concept that explains the pattern of occurrence of widely distributed organisms with large chromosomal diversity, large or small molecular divergence, and the insufficiency or absence of morphological identity.

Deep-Time Demographic Inference Suggests Ecological Release as Driver of Neoavian Adaptive Radiation

Diversity, 2020
Assessing the applicability of theory to major adaptive radiations in deep time represents an extremely difficult problem in evolutionary biology.

Oca2 targeting using CRISPR/Cas9 in the Malawi cichlid Astatotilapia calliptera

Royal Society Open Science, 2022
Identifying genetic loci underlying trait variation provides insights into the mechanisms of diversification, but demonstrating causality and characterizing the role of genetic loci requires testing candidate gene function, often in non-model species ...

Depth and substratum differentiations among coexisting herbivorous cichlids in Lake Tanganyika [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2016
Cichlid fish in Lake Tanganyika represent a system of adaptive radiation in which eight ancestral lineages have diversified into hundreds of species through adaptation to various niches. However, Tanganyikan cichlids have been thought to be oversaturated,

Plant growth forms dictate adaptations to the local climate

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Adaptive radiation is a significant driver of biodiversity. Primarily studied in animal systems, mechanisms that trigger adaptive radiations remain poorly understood in plants. A frequently claimed indicator of adaptive radiation in plants is growth form

Ecomorphological convergence in the walking leg dactyli of two clades of ascidian‐ and mollusc‐associated shrimps (Decapoda: Caridea: Palaemonidae)

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Symbiotic species, living within or on the surface of host organisms, may evolve a wide range of adaptations as a result of various selection pressures, host specificity of the symbiont and the nature of the symbiosis.
