Abstract Aim Migratory freshwater fishes are those that must access discrete habitats to complete their life cycles. Freshwater fish migrations occur around the world and provide numerous ecosystem services for humans and natural systems; however, many migratory species are in decline globally.

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 ...

On the measurement of ecological novelty: scale-eating pupfish are separated by 168 my from other scale-eating fishes. [PDF]
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 ...

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.

The roles of inter- and intra-sexual selection in behavioral isolation between native and invasive pupfishes [PDF]
Male-male competition and female mate choice may both play important roles in driving and maintaining reproductive isolation between species. When previously allopatric species come into secondary contact with each other due to introductions, they ...
