but the frequency of these alternative mechanisms and underlying contributing factors are …

Phenotypic covariation predicts diversification in an adaptive radiation of pupfishes

JC Dunker, ME St. John, CH Martin - Ecology and Evolution, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Phenotypic covariation among suites of traits may constrain or promote diversification both
within and between species, yet few studies have empirically tested this relationship. In this …

One of the most exceptional adaptations to extreme drought is found in the sister group to
tetrapods, the lungfishes (Dipnoi), which can aestivate inside a mucus cocoon for multiple …

Tissue-specific transcriptomics uncovers novel craniofacial genes underlying jaw divergence in specialist pupfishes

MF Palominos, V Muhl, CH Martin - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
