Multiple performance peaks for scale-biting in an adaptive radiation of pupfishes

A. Tan, M. E. St John, D. Chau, C. Clair, H. Chan, R. Holzman, C. Martin

The paper analyzes feeding kinematics in pupfishes to identify performance peaks associated with adaptation to a novel trophic niche, using deep learning for automated motion tracking.

Parallel genetic changes underlie integrated craniofacial traits in an adaptive radiation of trophic specialist pupfishes

M. E. St John, J. C. Dunker, E. Richards, S. Romero, C. H. Martin

This study identifies parallel genetic changes underlying craniofacial traits in pupfishes adapting to similar environments, finding shared QTL and increased adaptive introgression.

Function of a novel nasal protrusion for oral-shelling within an adaptive radiation of pupfishes

M. E. St John, K. Dixon, C. H. Martin

The paper tests if a novel nasal protrusion in durophagous pupfish is an adaptation for oral shelling by comparing snail consumption and nasal protrusion size across species and hybrids.

Major stages of vertebrate adaptive radiation are assembled from a disparate spatiotemporal landscape

E. J. Richards, J. A. McGirr, J. Wang, M. E. St John, J. W. Poelstra, M. J. Solano, D. C. O'Connell, B. J. Turner, C. H. Martin

The paper reconstructs the spatial and temporal history of genetic variants in Caribbean pupfishes to show how ancient standing variation was reassembled into new adaptive combinations across three stages of adaptive radiation.
