REPEATED MARINE-TO-FRESHWATER FISH TRANSITIONS REVEAL PALEOENVIRONMENTAL MODULATION OF ADAPTIVE RADIATION

Aline P. M. Medeiros, Melissa Rincón-Sandoval, Aaron M. Davis…·Ricardo Betancur‐R

The paper investigates marine-to-freshwater fish transitions in Sahul rivers, finding that diversification success depends on paleoenvironmental dynamics rather than just ecological opportunity.

Ecological axes of skull diversification in a massive 1 vertebrate radiation

Elizabeth Christina Santos, Rose Faucher, Aintzane Santaquiteria…·Dahiana Arcila

The paper analyzes skull diversification in eupercarian fishes, showing habitat and trophic ecology independently shape skull shape, with rapid evolution in certain clades and convergence in freshwater lineages.

Ancient climate changes and relaxed selection shape cave colonisation in North American cavefishes

Pamela B. Hart, Melissa Rincón-Sandoval, Fernando Meléndez-Vazquez…·Dahiana Arcila

This study investigates the evolutionary history of North American cavefishes, finding three independent cave colonisations linked to ancient climate changes and relaxed selection.
