Taxonomic Uncertainty and the Anomaly Zone: Phylogenomics Disentangle a Rapid Radiation to Resolve Contentious Species (Gila robusta complex) in the Colorado River

The paper uses genomic and spatial data to resolve taxonomic uncertainty in the Gila robusta complex, finding three distinct species despite phylogenetic discordance caused by rapid radiation.

Gene flow and species delimitation in fishes of Western North America: Flannelmouth (Catostomus latipinnis) and Bluehead sucker (C. Pantosteus discobolus)

This study uses ddRAD sequencing to analyze gene flow and species boundaries in two fish species, identifying new lineages and introgression patterns in the Colorado River system.
