eDNA reveals urban habitat-specific sorting of a mixed regional fish fauna into distinct biodiversity and life-history assemblages

Katerina L. Zapfe, Elyse Parker, Diego J. Elías…·Alex Dornburg

The paper uses eDNA data to show urban aquatic habitats sort mixed regional fish species into distinct biodiversity and life-history assemblages based on habitat characteristics.

Diversifying the Northern Neotropics: Phylogenomics and Evolutionary History of the Early-Diverging Herichthyine Cichlids Thorichthys and Trichromis

Diego J. Elías, Fernando Alda, Isaí Betancourt-Resendes…·Caleb D. McMahan

This study uses phylogenomic data to explore the evolutionary history and diversification of two cichlid genera, revealing unrecognized diversity, species boundary uncertainty, and ghost introgression in northern Neotropical fish.
