Loci associated with cave-derived traits concentrate in specific regions of the Mexican cavefish genome

J. Wiese, E. J. Richards, J. E. Kowalko, S. E. McGaugh

The paper maps QTL for cave-derived traits in Mexican cavefish and identifies evolutionary hotspots associated with adaptation to the cave environment.

Selection-driven trait loss in independently evolved cavefish populations

R. L. Moran, E. J. Richards, C. P. Ornelas-Garcia, J. B. Gross, A. Donny, J. Wiese, A. C. Keene, J. E. Kowalko, N. Rohner, S. E. McGaugh

This study shows that selection, not mutation, drives repeated trait evolution in cavefish, with genes having longer coding regions being more likely to undergo repeated adaptation.

Major stages of vertebrate adaptive radiation are assembled from a disparate spatiotemporal landscape

E. J. Richards, J. A. McGirr, J. Wang, M. E. St John, J. W. Poelstra, M. J. Solano, D. C. O'Connell, B. J. Turner, C. H. Martin

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.

Speciation in sympatry with ongoing secondary gene flow and an olfactory trigger in a radiation of Cameroon cichlids

J. W. Poelstra, E. J. Richards, C. Martin

This study investigates sympatric speciation in Lake Ejagham cichlids, showing ongoing secondary gene flow and an olfactory trigger in speciation.

Adaptive introgression from distant Caribbean islands contributed to the diversification of a microendemic radiation of trophic specialist pupfishes

E. J. Richards, C. H. Martin

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.

Unexpected variation across mitochondrial gene trees and evidence for systematic error: How much gene tree variation is biological?

E. J. Richards, J. M. Brown, A. J. Barley, R. A. Chong, R. C. Thomson

The paper estimates gene tree discordance caused by systematic error using mitochondrial genomes and finds it comparable to variation attributed to biological causes.
