Phylogenomics of the adaptive radiation of Triturus newts supports gradual ecological niche expansion towards an incrementally aquatic lifestyle

B. Wielstra, E. McCartney-Melstad, J. W. Arntzen, R. K. Butlin, H. B. Shaffer

The paper resolves the phylogeny of Triturus newts using transcriptome data and shows that NTV count, body form, and aquatic ecology have evolved together.
