The paper describes a method for nondestructively imaging cichlids using micro-CT and presents morphological analyses of their jaws and skulls.

The paper tests the role of postzygotic incompatibilities in Lake Victoria cichlids, finding little evidence for their major role but suggesting some loci may have been sorted during early speciation events.

The paper investigates the role of genetic architecture and hybridization in adaptive radiation using Alpine whitefish data, finding both genome-wide shifts and a large-effect locus contribute to diversification.

The paper compares structural and ecological differences between blue and green food webs across elevation and land use in Switzerland, finding divergent responses to environmental gradients.

The paper examines how climate history and evolution shaped alpine biodiversity differently in freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems, finding distinct patterns of speciation linked to glacial refugia and adaptive radiation.

The paper uses isotopic analysis of fish from Lake Tanganyika to show regional population differences driven by hydrodynamics, but not diet or lipid content.

The paper investigates genetic connectivity in four Lake Tanganyika Lates species using genomic sequencing, finding strong differentiation between species and weak structure within some species.

The paper describes four new species of Cichlidogyrus parasites from Lake Victoria cichlids and redescribes two existing species, highlighting morphological features and evolutionary patterns.

The paper identifies sex-specific genomic regions and a segregating inversion in two Lake Tanganyika sardine species, revealing rapid XY sex determination evolution and population structure not explained by geography.

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.

The paper investigates convergent transcriptomic landscapes in limnetic and benthic whitefish species pairs across continents, finding shared genomic bases for differential gene expression under polygenic selection.

This study examines visual habitat preferences in Lake Victoria cichlid fish, finding a preference for broad-spectrum light over their typical habitat, suggesting visual adaptation does not directly drive microhabitat choice.

The paper constructs a high-resolution genetic linkage map for Lake Victoria cichlids, improves the genome assembly, and identifies a major QTL for sex determination.
