The paper examines genomic consequences of inbreeding and genetic loss in Devils Hole pupfish, finding extreme inbreeding and deleterious mutations affecting fitness.

The paper uses whole-genome sequencing to analyze fitness landscapes in pupfish hybrids, showing introgression and de novo mutations reduce fitness valley ruggedness and enable adaptive walks to novel fitness peaks.

This study identifies parallel genetic changes underlying craniofacial traits in pupfishes adapting to similar environments, finding shared QTL and increased adaptive introgression.

The paper tests if a novel nasal protrusion in durophagous pupfish is an adaptation for oral shelling by comparing snail consumption and nasal protrusion size across species and hybrids.
The paper identifies cis-regulatory alleles contributing to craniofacial divergence in pupfishes by analyzing gene expression and genetic variation across species.

The paper reconstructs the spatial and temporal history of genetic variants in Caribbean pupfishes to show how ancient standing variation was reassembled into new adaptive combinations across three stages of adaptive radiation.
M. E. St. John, R. Holzman, C. H. Martin
This study examines how kinematic adaptations in scale-eating pupfish contribute to their ecological niche by comparing feeding performance and kinematics across species and hybrids.
The paper manipulates competition among hybrids to study fitness landscapes in pupfishes, finding stable features despite environmental variation.

The paper investigates whether increased aggression led to the evolution of scale-eating in pupfishes by comparing aggression and gene expression across sympatric species.
The paper crosses two Cyprinodon pupfish species to identify gene misexpression in hybrids, finding higher misexpression in craniofacial tissues linked to novel morphology.
The paper examines parallel gene expression changes in two niche specialists despite divergent genotypes, finding shared metabolic pathways underlie convergent adaptations to higher trophic levels.
The paper analyzes whole genomes of pupfishes to show that adaptive introgression and selective sweeps from neighboring islands contributed to the diversification of trophic specialists on San Salvador Island.
