This study examines gene regulation changes during development in cichlid fishes, finding species-specific expression patterns linked to trophic niche adaptation.

The paper quantifies recombination landscape divergence across percomorph fish species using PRDI and finds divergence increases with genetic differentiation and divergence time, with variation among species pairs.

The paper shows that loss of endemic species due to human activity reduces thermal response diversity in lake ecosystems, highlighting the role of evolutionary diversification in maintaining ecosystem stability.

This paper identifies a conservation paradox where biodiversity-rich countries experience higher poverty rates due to historical colonial exploitation, challenging the assumption that biodiversity directly reduces poverty.

The paper shows that alternative splicing evolves faster than gene expression in African cichlids, contributing to rapid ecological diversification during adaptive radiation.

Hi-reComb estimates recombination maps from bulk gamete Hi-C data, showing accurate results in fish sperm and enabling structural variant analysis.

The paper investigates how hybridization contributes to adaptive radiation in Lake Victoria cichlids by analyzing genotype-phenotype associations across multiple traits.

The paper uses whole genomes to show that cichlid fish species in Lake Victoria and nearby lakes diversified extremely rapidly, with speciation rates much higher than previously estimated.

The paper uses genomic and phylogenetic methods to show that Lates fishes colonized Lake Tanganyika ~1-2 Mya, diversified into four species during glacial cycles, and their radiation had significant ecological impacts.

This study examines morphological and coloration divergence in Lake Victoria cichlids, showing clinal patterns and sympatric speciation driven by ecological and sexual selection.

The paper describes the European Reference Genome Atlas (ERGA) pilot project, which tests a decentralized model for producing high-quality reference genomes across 98 European species.
