Adaptive radiation is the rise of a diversity of ecological roles and role‐specific adaptations
within a lineage. Recently, some researchers have begun to use 'adaptive radiation'or …

The extraordinary species richness of freshwater fishes has attracted much research on
mechanisms and modes of speciation. We here review research on speciation in freshwater …

The genetic basis of parallel evolution of similar species is of great interest in evolutionary
biology. In the adaptive radiation of Lake Victoria cichlid fishes, sister species with either …

Modes and mechanisms of speciation are best studied in young species pairs. In older taxa,
it is increasingly difficult to distinguish what happened during speciation from what …

Among vertebrates, herbivores have longer digestive tracts than animals at higher trophic
levels, a pattern thought to reflect a trade‐off between digestive efficiency and tissue …

Sympatric speciation illustrates how natural and sexual selection may create new species in
isolation without geographic barriers. However, recent genomic reanalyses of classic …

A positive relationship between species richness and island size is thought to emerge from
an equilibrium between immigration and extinction rates, but the influence of species …

The evolutionary history of the endemic Lake Tanganyika cichlid tribe Tropheini, the sister
group of the species flocks of Lake Malawi and the Lake Victoria region, was reconstructed …

Recent progress in the development of phylogenetic methods and access to molecular
phylogenies has made comparative biology more popular than ever before. However …

The arbovirus vectors Aedes aegypti (yellow fever mosquito) and Ae. albopictus (Asian tiger
mosquito) are both common throughout the Indo-Pacific region, where 70% of global …
