This study presents genome assemblies for two transisthmian damselfish species separated by the Central American Isthmus, revealing structural variants and gene family expansions linked to environmental adaptation.

This study investigates convergent wing pattern evolution in Heliconius butterflies using GWAS, comparative genomics, and machine learning, identifying both known and novel genetic loci associated with color patterns.

This study compares genomic adaptations in two distantly related reef fish families to environmental changes post-Isthmus of Panama formation, finding limited molecular parallelism despite shared selective pressures.
