Comparative Genomics of Transisthmian Damselfishes (Abudefduf saxatilis and A. troschelii)

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.

Comparative genomic analyses of trans-ithmanian reef fishes reveals different molecular targets of environmental adaptation in different families.

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.

Broad thermal tolerance and high mitochondrial genetic connectivity in the pinfish (Lagodon rhomboides)

This study examines mitochondrial genetic connectivity and thermal tolerance of pinfish across their range, finding high genetic connectivity and similar thermal tolerance across populations.
