Studies of the biogeography of the West Indies are numerous but not all taxonomic groups
have received the same attention. Many of the contributions to this field have historically …

Populations may adapt to similar environments via parallel or non‐parallel genetic changes,
but the frequency of these alternative mechanisms and underlying contributing factors are …

Investigating closely related species that rapidly evolved divergent feeding morphology is a
powerful approach to identify genetic variation underlying variation in complex traits. This …

Parallel evolution of gene expression commonly underlies convergent niche specialization,
but parallel changes in expression could also underlie divergent specialization. We …

The physical interactions between organisms and their environment ultimately shape
diversification rates, but the contributions of biomechanics to evolutionary divergence are …

Genetic incompatibilities constitute the final stages of reproductive isolation and speciation,
but little is known about incompatibilities that occur within recent adaptive radiations among …

The origins of novel trophic specialization, in which organisms begin to exploit resources for
the first time, may be explained by shifts in behavior such as foraging preferences or feeding …

Biologists are drawn to the most extraordinary adaptations in the natural world, often
referred to as evolutionary novelties, yet rarely do we understand the microevolutionary …

Cave animals and species flocks exhibit common evolutionary principles. In caves, all traits
dependent on the information derived from light lose their biological function. Mutations …

Understanding the genetic basis of novel adaptations in new species is a fundamental
question in biology. Here we demonstrate a new role for galr2 in vertebrate craniofacial …
