Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 31, Issue 2, Page 389-400, April 2022., 2022 Abstract Feeding specialisations are known to play an important role in the ecology and evolution of many organisms. In this study, we performed a comparative analysis based on the data of the gut content of eight species of the genus Limia (family Poeciliidae) to explore the potential role of feeding ecology in the radiation of this genus in the ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 6, Page 2416-2430, March 2021., 2021 Studies about the biogeography of the West Indies are numerous but not all taxonomic groups have received the same attention. In this review, we analyze and discuss the main hypotheses for the origin of the Caribbean biota and examine both classical and less studied examples of species radiations in the West Indies.

On the measurement of ecological novelty: scale-eating pupfish are separated by 168 my from other scale-eating fishes. [PDF]
, 2013 The colonization of new adaptive zones is widely recognized as one of the hallmarks of adaptive radiation. However, the adoption of novel resources during this process is rarely distinguished from phenotypic change because morphology is a common proxy ...
