Rapid evolution of recombination landscapes during the divergence of cichlid ecotypes in Lake Masoko

The paper shows that recombination landscapes diverge between two cichlid fish ecotypes despite similar allele frequency and diversity, suggesting recombination suppression in heterozygotes.

Widespread temporal niche partitioning in an adaptive radiation of cichlid fishes

This study shows that temporal niche partitioning, through distinct activity patterns, contributed to the adaptive radiation of cichlid fishes in Lake Tanganyika.

Hemoglobin gene repertoire in teleost and cichlid fishes shaped by gene duplications and genome rearrangements

This study examines hemoglobin gene evolution in teleost and cichlid fishes, showing gene duplications and rearrangements drive diversity in oxygen transport systems.

Towards reliable detection of introgression in the presence of among-species rate variation

The paper tests introgression detection methods on ancient systems with rate variation, showing false positives and introducing a new test to distinguish true introgression from rate variation effects.

The history and organization of the Workshop on Population and Speciation Genomics

The paper describes the organization and success factors of a long-running bioinformatics workshop on population and speciation genomics, highlighting its educational impact and scientific outcomes.

Whole genome resequencing data enables a targeted SNP panel for conservation and aquaculture of Oreochromis cichlid fishes

The paper develops a SNP genotyping panel from whole-genome resequencing data to identify species and hybrids in Oreochromis cichlids, outperforming existing methods.

Genome-enabled inference of functional genetic variants in the face, brain and behavior

The paper identifies functional genetic variants associated with craniofacial, neural, and behavioral traits in Lake Malawi cichlids by comparing rock- and sand-dwelling species.

Movement of transposable elements contributes to cichlid diversity

The paper identifies transposable element (TE)-induced indels as causative variants for visual sensitivity shifts in Lake Malawi cichlids, linking TE mobility to phenotypic diversity.

Ancestral hybridisation facilitated species diversification in the Lake Malawi cichlid fish adaptive radiation

This study shows ancestral hybridisation contributed to diversification in Lake Malawi cichlids by introducing genetic variation that was differentially selected during speciation.

Whole genome sequences of Malawi cichlids reveal multiple radiations interconnected by gene flow

The study sequenced 73 Lake Malawi cichlid species to reveal evolutionary processes driving adaptive radiation and gene flow between lineages.

RADpainter and fineRADstructure: population inference from RADseq data

The paper introduces RADpainter and fineRADstructure to infer population structure from RADseq data, demonstrating their effectiveness with example datasets.
