The impact of sex chromosomes and their turnover in speciation remains a subject of
ongoing debate in the field of evolutionary biology. Fishes are the largest group of …

Attempts to predict macroevolution from microevolution, and microevolution from
macroevolution, when natural selection is the main cause have met with varying success …

Pollinator-driven evolution of floral traits is thought to be a major driver of angiosperm
speciation and diversification. Ophrys orchids mimic female insects to lure male pollinators …

Abstract Background East African cichlid fishes have diversified in an explosive fashion, but
the (epi) genetic basis of the phenotypic diversity of these fishes remains largely unknown …

Chromosomal inversions contribute to adaptive speciation by linking co-adapted alleles.
Querying 1,375 genomes of the species-rich Malawi cichlid fish radiation, we discovered five …

In a hybrid zone between two tropical lekking birds, yellow male plumage of one species
has introgressed asymmetrically replacing white plumage of another via sexual selection …

Clownfish (subfamily Amphiprioninae) are an iconic group of coral reef fish that evolved a
mutualistic interaction with sea anemones, which triggered the adaptive radiation of the …

Modifications to the pharyngeal jaws—a prey processing system located posterior to the
mouth cavity—are widely considered a key innovation that enhanced diversification within …

Societal Impact Statement Increasing evidence indicates gene flow commonly occurs
between closely related species in diverse plant genera and can involve numerous species …

Hybridization between divergent lineages can result in losses of distinct evolutionary taxa.
Alternatively, hybridization can lead to increased genetic variability that may fuel local …
