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
Getting a grip on the evolution of grasping in musteloid carnivorans: a three‐dimensional analysis of forelimb shape
Journal of Evolutionary Biology - Tập 26 Số 7 - Trang 1521-1535 - 2013
Anne‐Claire Fabre, Raphaël Cornette, Graham J. Slater, Christine Argot, Stéphane Peigné, Anjali Goswami, Emmanuelle Pouydebat
AbstractThe ability to grasp and manipulate is often considered a hallmark of hominins and associated with the evolution of their bipedal locomotion and tool use. Yet, many other mammals use their forelimbs to grasp and manipulate objects. Previous investigations have suggested that grasping may be derived from digging behaviour, arboreal locomotion or hunting beha...... 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
Strength, diversity and plasticity of postmating reproductive barriers between two hybridizing oak species (Quercus robur L. and Quercus petraea (Matt) Liebl.)
Journal of Evolutionary Biology - Tập 25 Số 1 - Trang 157-173 - 2012
Pierre Abadie, Geneviève Roussel, Benjamin Dencausse, Claude-Laurent Bonnet, Evangelista Bertocchi, Jean‐Marc Louvet, Antoine Kremer, Pauline Garnier‐géré
AbstractVery little is known about the nature and strength of reproductive isolation (RI) in Quercus species, despite extensive research on the estimation and evolutionary significance of hybridization rates. We characterized postmating pre‐ and postzygotic RI between two hybridizing oak species, Quercus robur a...... hiện toàn bộ
Developmental plasticity, morphological variation and evolvability: a multilevel analysis of morphometric integration in the shape of compound leaves
Journal of Evolutionary Biology - Tập 25 Số 1 - Trang 115-129 - 2012
Christian Peter Klingenberg, Sascha H. Duttke, Simon Whelan, Minsoo Kim
AbstractThe structure of compound leaves provides flexibility for morphological change by variation in the shapes, sizes and arrangement of leaflets. Here, we conduct a multilevel analysis of shape variation in compound leaves to explore the developmental plasticity and evolutionary potential that are the basis of diversification in leaf shape. We use the methods o...... hiện toàn bộ
Habitat‐dependent geographical variation in ontogenetic allometry of the shiner perch Cymatogaster aggregata Gibbons (Teleostei: Embiotocidae)
Journal of Evolutionary Biology - Tập 20 Số 5 - Trang 1783-1798 - 2007
Pamela J. Woods
AbstractStudies of intraspecific morphological variation in fishes have traditionally focused on freshwater rather than marine species. In addition, such studies typically focus on adults, although causes and intensities of selective pressures most likely vary through an individual's lifetime. In this study, body and head shape of a marine species, shiner perch ... hiện toàn bộ
