A strong foundation of basic and applied research documents that the estuarine fish
Fundulus heteroclitus and related species are unique laboratory and field models for …

The accessibility of new genomic resources, high‐throughput molecular technologies and
analytical approaches such as genome scans have made finding genes contributing to …

In 1974, Richard Lewontin published The Genetic Basis of Evolutionary Change, focusing
enormous attention on protein variation as both a model of underlying genetic variation and …

Darwin's The Origin of Species demonstrated the value of systematic and biogeographic
studies and, as a result, the analysis of genetic variation within and between species has …

The annual killifish Austrofundulus limnaeus inhabits ephemeral ponds that dry out on a
seasonal basis, thereby killing the adult and juvenile forms. Populations persist because …

Common killifish, Fundulus heteroclitus, are found in marshes and estuaries along the
Atlantic coast of North America from Newfoundland to Florida. Although these habitats are …

Developmental homeostasis, measured as either fluctuating asymmetry or variance of
morphological characters, increases with enzyme heterozygosity in many, but not all, natural …

We have used an experimentally based strategy to address molecular mechanisms
underlying adaptation in Fundulus heteroclitus. In an attempt to falsify the hypothesis that …

Changes in gene regulation may play an important role in adaptive evolution, particularly
during adaptation to a changing environment. However, little is known about the molecular …

Mummichogs or killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus) are abundant estuarine fish that can tolerate
widely varying environmental conditions. They are found in some highly contaminated sites …
