Evolution of colour patterns in East African cichlid fish
Journal of Evolutionary Biology - Tập 12 Số 3 - Trang 514-534 - 1999
Seehausen, Peter J. Mayhew, Lia Hemerik
Abstract African cichlid fishes have undergone outbursts of explosive speciation in several lakes, accompanied by rapid radiations in coloration and ecology. Little is known about the evolutionary forces that triggered these events but a hypothesis, published by Wallace Dominey in 1984, has figured prominently. It states that the evolution of colour ...... hiện toàn bộ
Colour forms of Amazonian cichlid fish represent reproductively isolated species
Journal of Evolutionary Biology - Tập 19 Số 4 - Trang 1139-1148 - 2006
Jonathan Stuart Ready, Iracilda Sampaio, Horácio Schneider, Christina Cleo Vinson, Taciéli dos Santos, George F. Turner
Abstract Laboratory mate choice experiments have confirmed species status for cichlid fish in the African Great Lakes that differ in colour and little else. Colour differences between allopatric populations of the South American cichlid genus Apistogramma are known for many species, yet the status of such populations has not been previously tested.

Bursts of transposable elements as an evolutionary driving force
Journal of Evolutionary Biology - Tập 27 Số 12 - Trang 2573-2584 - 2014
Alexander Belyayev
AbstractA burst of transposable elements (TEs) is a massive outbreak that may cause radical genomic rebuilding. This phenomenon has been reported in connection with the formation of taxonomic groups and species and has therefore been associated with major evolutionary events in the past. Over the past fe...... hiện toàn bộ
Trade-offs between growth and reproduction: an analysis of the quantitative genetic evidence
Journal of Evolutionary Biology - Tập 13 Số 3 - Trang 434-445 - 2000
Roff
Abstract The assumption of a trade-off between development time and fecundity, resulting from a positive correlation between body size and fecundity and between body size and development time, is a common feature of life history models. The present paper examines the evidence for such a trade-off as indicated by genetic correlations between traits. T...... hiện toàn bộ
Shape at the cross‐roads: homoplasy and history in the evolution of the carnivoran skull towards herbivory
Journal of Evolutionary Biology - Tập 23 Số 12 - Trang 2579-2594 - 2010
Borja Figueirido, Francisco J. Serrano, Graham J. Slater, Paul Palmqvist
AbstractPatterns of skull shape in Carnivora provide examples of parallel and convergent evolution for similar ecomorphological adaptations. However, although most researchers report on skull homoplasies among hypercarnivorous taxa, evolutionary trends towards herbivory remain largely unexplored. In this study, we analyse the skull of the living herbivorous carnivo...... hiện toàn bộ
Recovering speciation and extinction dynamics based on phylogenies
Journal of Evolutionary Biology - Tập 26 Số 6 - Trang 1203-1219 - 2013
Tanja Stadler
AbstractPhylogenetic trees of only extant species contain information about the underlying speciation and extinction pattern. In this review, I provide an overview over the different methodologies that recover the speciation and extinction dynamics from phylogenetic trees. Broadly, the methods can be divided into two classes: (i) methods using the phylogenetic tree...... hiện toàn bộ
Do precocial mammals develop at a faster rate? A comparison of rates of skull development in Sigmodon fulviventer and Mus musculus domesticus
Journal of Evolutionary Biology - Tập 16 Số 4 - Trang 708-720 - 2003
Miriam Leah Zelditch, Barbara L. Lundrigan, H. David Sheets, Theodore Garland
Abstract Variation in neonatal maturity among mammals is often explained by variation in gestation length, but species may also differ in developmental rate, a quantity that is difficult to measure because the conventional formalism makes two important and potentially unrealistic assumptions: (1) ontogeny of form can be described by a single line, an...... hiện toàn bộ
Allen’s rule revisited: quantitative genetics of extremity length in the common frog along a latitudinal gradient
Journal of Evolutionary Biology - Tập 24 Số 1 - Trang 59-70 - 2011
Jussi Alho, Gábor Herczeg, Ane T. Laugen, Katja Räsänen, Anssi Laurila, Juha Merilä
Multiple parasites are driving major histocompatibility complex polymorphism in the wild
Journal of Evolutionary Biology - Tập 16 Số 2 - Trang 224-232 - 2003
K. Mathias Wegner, Thorsten B. H. Reusch, Martin Kalbe
Abstract Parasite mediated selection may result in arms races between host defence and parasite virulence. In particular, simultaneous infections from multiple parasite species should cause diversification (i.e. balancing selection) in resistance genes both at the population and the individual level. Here, we tested these ideas in highly polymorphic ...... hiện toàn bộ
Life history evolution in Asobara tabida: plasticity in allocation of fat reserves to survival and reproduction
Journal of Evolutionary Biology - Tập 10 Số 5 - Trang 771-785 - 1997
Jacintha Ellers, Lia Hemerik
AbstractLife history variation can be genetically based, or it may be due to environmental effects on the phenotype. In this paper we examine life history variation in relation to differences in habitat in the parasitoid Asobara tabida. Differences in the spatial distribution of host patches, the length of the season, host suitability, an...... hiện toàn bộ
