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

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.

This study generates a phylogenomic dataset to resolve relationships and biogeographic history of Atheriniformes, revealing polyphyly in Atherinidae and proposing a new family classification.
