A Chromosome Inversion Creates a Supergene for Sex and Colour in Lake Malawi Cichlids

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cichlid fishes have the highest rates of evolutionary turnover of sex chromosomes among vertebrates. Many large structural polymorphisms in the radiation of cichlids in Lake Malawi are associated with sex chromosomes and may also carry adaptive variation.

Islands Promote Diversification of the Silvereye Species Complex: A Phylogenomic Analysis of a Great Speciator

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Geographic isolation plays a pivotal role in speciation by restricting gene flow between populations through distance or physical barriers. However, the speciation process is complex, influenced by the interplay between dispersal ability and geographic isolation, as seen in “great speciators” – bird species that simultaneously have broad ...

Mountain colonization precedes shifts away from bee pollination in Melastomataceae

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Shifts among different groups of pollinators are central in the evolution of flowering plants, yet mechanisms underlying pollinator shifts remain unclear. Environment‐induced reduction in pollinator availability and hence efficiency may destabilize ancestral plant–pollinator interactions and trigger shifts to new, more efficient pollinators ...

Active predators do not necessarily specialize in sedentary prey: A simulation model

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.
Active predators, which move to find food, are assumed to specialize in sedentary prey. This study used an individual‐based simulation to test whether this assumption holds. The results show that active predators do not always specialize in sedentary prey; instead, prey choice greatly depends on prey spatial pattern and competition with ambush ...
